Bought the stick to use omn a older tv. Works very well, very easy to set up. Unfortunately the first one did not work properly but was quickly replaced with a working one.
We have used Chromecast, Apple TV and Roku. Roku is by far the best perfroming streaming device. Chromecast is the most annoying of the streamers that we have tried. Apple Tv is limited in the way it works with Amazon Prime, etc. The Roku is the easiest and best performing on the market.
We bought our Roku last month as an answer to the rising cost of cable TV. When we received our streaming stick it was one of the easiest things to install and start watching TV right away. The choices that we have for such channels as PureFlix and Netflix and other channels that are free are abundant. Best decision we have made.
