A company that has caused quite a stir in the world of television is Roku. This is an option that is budget-friendly and that offers numerous movies and television shows that are comparable to most cable and satellite providers. There are over 4,000 options available depending on how many you want to download. The only thing that you need is a small remote. While this might seem too good to be true or might seem as though it would be confusing throughout the setup process, there are a few things that you should keep in mind as it’s really an easy tool to use. All you have to do is plug the Roku into your television and connect it to the WiFi in your home. Streaming would be more fun to watch specially in HD if you have a fast internet like HughesNet or Spectrum to name a few popular internet providers. I would recommend to upgrade your internet connection. You’ll need to make an account so that you can access all of the channels and activate the Roku. Then, you can start searching through all of the sports channels, movies, and shows until you find what you want to watch. There are a few different types of devices to choose from depending on how much you want to pay and how many options you want.
Express
If you’re looking for a Roku that is affordable while still having plenty of options, then this is a device that you want to consider first. This is an option for those who haven’t used a streaming device before as it’s easy to set up and operate. There are about 150,000 shows and movies with the device, which is a large number so that you can see if you want to upgrade in the future.
Express Plus
This is another affordable option, but you’ll have access to more streaming options, such as YouTube, Amazon, Dish TV, and Netflix. You’ll also get an analog cable so that you can connect to some of the older televisions. If you have a newer TV with an HDMI connection, then you can probably get by with the Express unless you just want to purchase this Roku for the upgraded channel selection.
Ultra
The device features all of the standard features that you would get with the Express and the Plus as well as a hands-free option so that you can speak your selections into the headset. There’s also a quad-core processor to store more shows and movies and a dual-band Wi-Fi connection. You can also connect your headphones to the system so that you don’t disturb others in your home while you’re watching all of your favorites. This is an option to consider if you have a 4K television because of the quality of the images.
Ultra LT
There are over half a million streaming options with this device as well as the standard features and the compatibility with 4K televisions other HD devices. There aren’t as many pieces of equipment with this option and is a bit more affordable. Some of the things that it doesn’t feature include Dolby Vision and a USB port. There is a MicroSD Port on the device. If you’re trying to save money while still looking for more channels than the Express, then this is an option to consider.
Premiere
This upgrade will work with most 4K and HD devices and offers access to almost all of the popular streaming services that are available. There are shortcut buttons to make it easier to find just want you’re looking for instead of scrolling through several screens.
Streaming Stick Plus
There’s a lot of power in this small stick. You can take it with you when you want to watch television or movies somewhere else. It does offer the ability to play in 4K HDR format. There’s an internet Wi-Fi connection as well as an external antenna.
