"Cutting the cord was a permanent thing for me, as it is for most of us who do it, and I've since expanded my streaming device collection to include each of the major streaming platforms. But even if Roku, Google TV, Fire TV, and Apple TV have gotten as popular as cable was in its heyday, they each stand out for their individual accomplishments. For me, Roku is the clear winner in user interface and ease of navigation."
"Multiple Roku devices have passed through my house since that day, but I still have the same 32-inch HD TV where I made the initial switch from cable to Roku in that apartment. It's now my guest room TV, but it felt fitting to try the new Roku Streaming Stick on it. Of course, testing the Roku Streaming Stick Plus with 4K warranted a better TV, so I've been testing it in my living room."
Switching from cable to streaming devices can significantly reduce monthly costs; an $80 cable bill prompted adoption of Roku in the living room and Chromecast in the bedroom. Multiple Roku devices often replace cable setups, and older 32-inch HD TVs can be repurposed as guest-room displays. The Roku Streaming Stick Plus with 4K benefits from higher-quality TVs for optimal testing. Streaming platforms now include Roku, Google TV, Fire TV, and Apple TV. Roku stands out for a clean, no-frills user interface and ease of navigation. The Roku remote emphasizes simplicity but lacks premium features like remote pings and backlit buttons.
