do you need a cable provider or can this be bypassed? null

The Roku streaming stick connects to your home wi-fi, so it will work by itself because there are TV channels on Roku, but it may not have ALL of the local or major network broadcasts that you enjoy or are used to watching. For that programming, you will have to subscribe to some sort of streaming service (examples: Amazon Prime, YouTubeTV). So it depends on which TV shows you like to watch.

Hello hydrantman, All you need is internet, cable is not required to use Roku devices.
