Hi Melinda,
I'm not tech saavy either, but thought I'd just throw my set up in the mix.
I get my internet through Southwest Cyberport (local, small business, awesome service, reasonable rates) and and have a smart TV. I sign up for streaming services I want and take advantage of the free items, like NewsOn and Roku TV.
Before I had a smart TV, I used a Roku device to connect my internet to my dumb TV ~ and did the same streaming arrangement.
I toy with the idea of buying an Antenna (a what?) every now and then. They're very cost effective and your only payments after that are in the old-fashooned form of watching commercials (which is also now occurring on streaming platforms ;).
Hope you find a solution that fits your needs and comfort zone!
Karen
