Roku Streaming Stick 4K

I am a senior citizen, and I have been reluctant to move away from cable to streaming. This product changed our lives!

We decided to try Roku and keep our cable service for a period of time to see how we liked streaming with Roku.

The Roku account is easy to setup and free.
Installing the device was incredibly simple.
The stick is totally out of sight, so no shelves are required.

The Roku channels are great. LOTS of free content and live things to watch.

There is also an ABUNDANCE of free channels to add to your account. Adding and removing channels on Roku channels is super easy.

Also, adding paid channels like Amazon, Netflix, ParamountPlus, is easy.

Free channels like NewsMax, NewsNation, BYUTV (the Chosen all seasons is there!) and other things are super easy to add. Spotify and Rumble are free channels, and they are great to find content that is free and you are going to be able to find something you like. My church even has a Roku channel, so I can watch services on my TV. In a nutshell,

I now understand why streaming is so popular – I can tailor my viewing and watch WHAT I want to watch – WHEN I want to watch!!

Also, if you want to use Roku with paid services like Spectrum, it is super easy. When I was setting up the Roku account, I checked the box that I used Spectrum, and it was seamless to start watching – which allowed me to get rid of three cable boxes and reduce my monthly bill.

In the near future, I can see myself getting rid of cable altogether because we already find ourselves not watching the shows on cable – but watching free things of our choosing on our schedule on Roku!!

There are multiple different Roku products and it can be difficult to pick the one that is the best. I had read multiple different reviews from multiple sites and this one was the one most highly recommended. It has a “stick” that you place into the HDMI port instead of a cumbersome little box that you have to place in front of the T.V. and point the remote at. The best feature is the voice control on the remote. It works perfectly. You can say, “Watch UTube Videos for Cats”, and it will open up right there instead of having to type all of this in the search engine after you go to the UTube app. You can say the name of a movie and it will show you what apps this movie is available on. There is no way I would buy a Roku without this voice control feature. If you have a Roku that does not, you can buy a Roku remote separately and pair it with the one that you have. I have always just had cable T.V. and I never really knew anything about these streaming devices. Now I don’t know how I ever lived without it. The best feature is that when our Direct TV dish goes out when it is storming outside, I can switch easily to the Roku and stream it instead through the Direct T.V. app through my internet, which is supplied through a cable underground to my house. You can do this same thing if you have other cable providers that allow you to stream through an app, like Xfinity. The Roku offers its own free shows and movies. Many of the apps also are free and there is an unlimited amount of different programs you can watch. You can pay a small fee to watch certain movies or a monthly fee for certain apps, like PBS, to get unlimited access to all of their library of shows. We have yet to purchase anything since there is so much available to watch. There is nothing we feel like we are missing out on. You can pair multiple Roku devices in your home to the same email account and you can place a password on it so no one can purchase anything without knowing this password. I am now going to buy a small Roku enabled T.V. for my bathroom to watch when I am in the jacuzzi. Since I can stream all of my Direct T.V. shows on it through their app on the Roku, there is no reason to have to have to place a cable box or wiring or even buy a separate T.V. and an additional Roku device. You do have to have functioning internet to use the Roku and you want to make sure that the strength of the signal will support streaming. We have had no problems with the basic internet service we get through AT&T. This Roku is the easiest device I think I have ever set up in my life, so don’t worry about this. This is not a concern. Everyone should have one of these if you have internet in your home. It is an awesome device and we love it. We watch the shows on it that we stream, just as much as we watch our regular cable provider shows. We have even considered getting rid of our cable completely when the contract is up. You can pay a small monthly fee to certain apps like Hulu that offer the same shows that you like. I highly recommend this. Don’t hesitate to buy it. The price has come down so much in the last year that these are affordable now and it will open your T.V. world up to so much more it has to offer.
