Roku’s Streaming Stick HD with Voice Remote turns nearly any television into a smart TV with an HDMI input, giving you instant access to thousands of video apps and over 500 free live TV channels. This product supports 1080p (1920 x 1080) HD video. The device itself has a slim design that plugs into your HDTV without covering other HDMI inputs. The device also draws power directly from your HDTV’s USB port, so no extra outlets are needed.
An HD streaming stick with a voice remote and free live channels
This device is best suited for you if you’re looking for an inexpensive HD solution to stream on your existing HDTV. Features include HD streaming up to 1080p, dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity, a voice remote that controls your HDTV’s power and volume, app shortcuts on the remote, and support for Alexa, Google Home, Apple AirPlay, and HomeKit. A single USB cable powers the device.
Your voice-enabled remote lets you search titles and genres by voice and control your HDTV. All remotes come preinstalled with batteries, so you can use them immediately after opening. Your remote includes app shortcuts to allow direct access to popular streaming services.
You have access to many popular streaming services, including Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, Disney+, Apple TV+, and more. Over 500 free live TV channels provide news, sports, weather, and more. The Roku interface is easy to navigate, so you can quickly find the apps you want. The Roku mobile app is useful if you need to find something to watch and want to type out an episode title or a password. If you’ve lost your actual remote control, since it’s slipped under the sofa, then this could also act as an alternative way to control the Roku stick. It also makes searching easier, since you can use your phone’s keyboard to enter longer show names and passwords.
The device provides a fast, reliable wireless connection through its dual-band Wi-Fi capability. Setup is also very easy. Simply plug the device into an available HDMI slot on your HDTV, attach the included USB cable to both the device and your HDTV, and then simply connect via your wireless router. In most cases, you can start viewing immediately.
The Streaming Stick HD’s small size lets you hide it behind your HDTV while keeping your home theater system organized. In addition to Alexa and Google Home voice assistant compatibility, the Streaming Stick HD supports Apple AirPlay, which lets you share media such as photos, videos, and music from your iOS or macOS devices to your HDTV. Because it’s extremely compact, you can easily take it on trips or pack it away when you don’t need it.
The Roku Streaming Stick HD with Voice Remote offers easy setup, a voice-enabled remote, and smooth access to a wide range of free and paid content options, all in a very small form factor. It’s a great way to make an older TV smarter or add streaming to a guest room.
