You should check their websites to see what packages they have available.  While you can subscribe through Roku, it's generally better to go right to the source.  That way you can use the subscription on more than just Roku devices.  You should also note that the experience you get using a streaming device may not be the same as what you're getting through cable.  Streaming is more about on-demand.

Current Roku devices are pretty much the same as to what they can stream.  The differences are in things like what remote you get, 4k video support (although I think they all have that now), and whether or not they have a wired Ethernet connector.  You can compare devices at:
