Brand new and need some guidance on plans
Where can we find a chart of the available streaming plans on Roku to cancel Xfinity? And most importantly will local news stations be live or on delay?

I should have specified that I gave up my regular cable (DVR) boxes and use streaming devices to stream my cable package (in this case Spectrum, for me). I use Roku ultras and use the Spectrum TV app to watch my cable package that I have. I save the cost of cable box rentals per month, which I think is roughly 10 bucks a month per box, but I still have the channels I was watching via cable. You can do the same with Comcast and other traditional providers.
I know that Comcast and Spectrum also have the Xumo streaming device that you can purchase or rent as well, but to me, renting makes no sense for a streaming box you can get for 50 to 100 bucks. The Xumo works similarly to the other streaming boxes, although some people like it and some people don't for various reasons.
Keep in mind that the biggest adjustment is how you change channels with a cable package and streaming versus using a cable box. With the exception of the Xumo, there are no numbers to change channels, and you have to scroll through the guide, if you decide to go that route.
You can pretty much get any streaming box (Roku, Xumo, Apple, Google) to do the same thing with cable service, although I would verify that the cable provider has an app for that respective streaming device. For example, Spectrum TV is not available on all Google devices.
