We have the 2 of the standard wired Roku boxes. We purchased the Roku stick & seem to have nothing but problems. I am not sure if the remote is bad or what but we are consonantly removing or putting new ones in. Or unplugging the whole unit.
I bought a Chromecast first but regret buying it now. The Roku is much better. First of all, having a remote that allows you to view several apps and services at once on your television is better. With a Chromecast you use your smart phone as a remote one app at a time. Also Amazon Prime Video does not work with Chromecast. If you are an Amazon Prime Member you must go through a bunch of tricks to get it to work with a Chromecast. The Roku cost more than the Chromecast but then, You always get what you pay for.
