Roku Streaming Stick

The future of entertainment is going towards streaming services, and this means I deviation away from regular cable or satellite television. Many people are now cancelling their cable, and solely using their laptops or tablets to view their favorite shows or movies when they want to relax. However, what if you want to watch your streaming videos from your TV? There are a couple options you can choose from. Either, you can purchase a smart TV in which you can surf the internet and find streamed videos, or you can buy a streaming stick like Chromecast. Chromecast was widely popular in 2013, and had record sales, but there is now a better option out there for those who want to switch over to streaming on their televisions. The Roku streaming stick will give you all the entertainment you need, and for a reasonable price.

The Roku streaming stick, which retails for $50, is a device that you can plug into the HDMI port in your current TV. Once its plugged into your TV, you can stream all the shows, movies, and music you want. The Roku stick gets its streams from subscription services such as Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant Video, and Spotify, just to name a few. The Roku streaming stick is comparable to the Chromecast stick, with a few minor differences. The Roku stick is a little more expensive than the popular Chromecast one, but that is because its content selection is more expansive, being that it has over 1,000 channels.

Streaming devices that allow you to turn your TV into an interactive device is the future of home entertainment. The effects are going be huge in the next 5 to 10 years. Most of the Channels we have on our cable or satellite subscriptions are total crap. I myself probably watch only 5 different channels during a normal week. But the ability of streaming services on your TV is that you can take out all of the unnecessary shows and movies, and just watch your favorite stuff. Also, a TV in which consumers can interact and control like a regular computer are the future. All entertainment is going towards digital, meaning no more DVD's. However, if a consumer does not have the ability to purchase a brand-new smart TV that has internet and streaming capabilities built-in, the Roku streaming stick is a perfect fallback option. Even though its only the size of a pack of gum, it offers a large amount of entertainment and satisfaction that cannot be matched by regular cable.
