All the tech savvy that's required is having an email address, a credit card and rudimentary knowledge of how to use the internet. It's really not an excuse (though obviously personal preference matters). Sure, if you don't have a smart tv you'd need to buy a Roku or other streaming device. That's not hard or expensive either. Plug the power brick in the wall and connect the Roku to your tv with an HDMI cable and you're done (exactly like that cable box you're probably using), rudimentary internet knowledge takes over from there. If you use more than one tv you'd need to buy a streaming device for each one, just like you need a cable box for each tv you use. Difference is buying a Roku is a one time sunk cost whereas the cable company charges you monthly in perpetuity to rent each cable box you have.
