Cutting the cord...God I'm scared.

I'm long winded in text so hold onto your hat, No this is not a complaint post.
So I'm thinking about cutting out my cable and before you all nod your head you need to understand something. I grew up in the "The TV is always on" age where you had a TV and it was on. Wether it was background noise or you were watching something. It's very unsettling to someone like me to just cut the cable, it feels wrong and right at the same time.
Things have changed for me the last few years and for TV in general so after 38 years I think it's time I change things up. I'm looking into getting the Roku, Apple TV or the Android box but while my technical know how is pretty good I'm at loss as to what is best for me.
I don't have HDMI so I have to go analog and I know it's possible but I am just not sure how to go about doing that. Yes you can look on the internet but if you've met you might know I have little patience for anything I have to hook up or put together that seems to take for-bloody-ever.
My needs are simple. I still like to turn my TV on and leave it running while I'm doing whatever. Sometimes I just want to kick back on the couch and watch something interesting. With the internet I don't need to watch live TV but what I'm watching has to be of interest to me and not always something I've seen 40 + times.
Right now I have cable because I'm watching World Cup but everyday I think about 50 dollars I could be saving right now for every month.
