Must I stil need to have/pay a cable tv provider null

All you need is an Internet connection be it WiFi or a LAN connection. You'll need to pay for that. Some content requires cable carrier to get, but most of them are available on the Internet and can be streamed thru the ROKU as long as the computer and the ROKU are on the same WiFi "channel "(FYI for those with multi channel routers )

Yes. Someone (i.e. friend, neighbor, etc) needs to have a subscription if you want to stream cable or sat from their place to yours. If you just want to stream Netflix or Hulu, well that's another situation entirely.

Yes if you want to watch cable or DVR.

Yes you still need to have a cable or satellite box with an active subscription.

No, the device streams whatever your existing tv experience is, If it is Roku, or Fire TV, etc, it will give you access to that box,

Connects to cable box so you need cable provider.

Yes, you still need cable/satellite to connect the unit to. Once connected to a cable box or satellite set top box then you can watch all the stations that particular box receives from anywhere when you are online using a laptop, phone, pad, etc...

You just need an Internet connection. Although Roku works well with sling tv which is $20 a month and Netflix

yes. the sling box only makes it so you watch whatever is coming from your tv.

Yes if you want live TV and select apps that requires a login through cable provider
