Overview
Not a set-top box with its own shelf spot, the Roku Streaming Stick plugs into a TV through HDMI and streams over dual-band Wi-Fi. A quad-core processor runs the menus and apps, and a Point Anywhere remote handles control.
Portability is the reason to own it, since the description pitches moving it between TVs at home, in a dorm or in a hotel room. Its listing pairs an HD title with a resolution field that suggests more, so anyone after high resolution streaming should confirm before ordering.
Who it's for
Students, travelers and households with an older HDTV get the main streaming services in a stick that moves easily. Owners of a large high resolution TV who want the sharpest stream should choose a player with clearly listed resolution support.
Pros and cons
- Quad-core processor for quick menus
- Dual-band wireless for steadier streaming
- Portable between TVs, dorms and hotel rooms
- Private listening through the mobile app
- Resolution conflicts between HD title and spec
- Ethernet port not listed
- Separate power adapter adds a cord
- Private listening requires a phone and the app
Performance notes
Streaming quality depends on the home Wi-Fi signal reaching the stick behind the TV, and dual-band support lets it use the less crowded band. The quad-core processor governs how quickly apps open and menus scroll. Picture sharpness is capped by the stick's output resolution, which the listing does not state clearly.
