Snagged up a Roku 3, and in doing so walked out with a new a/v receiver. After doing the logistics of hooking the roku/ps4/OTA it was only going to work with a new receiver or a new TV. Mostly because the Roku3 only does audio via HDMI and my TV has no Digital output to feed into my previous receiver. I pushed hard for a new 4k (Vizio 55in for $1k), the receiver was the cheaper option. But still, recouping costs of Roku/2 OTA Antennas/2nd Chromecast/New receiver, I will break even in 3 months.
Also, when disconnecting the Genie in my living room, holy crap I did not realize all the bullshit that was hooked up back there. A little network box, that I have no idea what the purpose for is (Directv Cinema box?), Genie Go, a box that my Coax has to run through before going to the Genie???? Along with all the cat5, Coax, power cords, etc. I filled the box the receiver came in with all the crap just from Directv.
OTA antenna should be here from Amazon today, and then I am pulling the plug on all the directv stuff until we can cancel at the end of the month.
