In the past I’ve used Amazon Firesticks as a cheap way to add streaming to my TVs but then I bought a new TV with Roku build-in and fell in love with the interface.
So I added this Roku Ultra | Streaming Media Player 4K/HD/HDR with Premium JBL Headphones 2019 for older bedroom Sony TV that didn’t have any streaming apps.
This Roku streaming device is great. The interface is easy to use and the remote only has a few buttons. You can put that ridiculous remote with the zillions of buttons in the nightstand and just use the simple Roku remote to stream cable, Netflix, CNBC, Amazon Prime, YouTube etc.
There are even free channels that are included with the Roku.
The other fantastic feature on the Roku is the 3.5mm headphone plug. Want to watch a show while your spouse sleeps? Just plug in a headphone jack and the sound automatically transfers from the TV to the headphones – brilliant!
