While both the Apple TV and Chromecast currently lack content, the Roku Streaming Stick has loads of it available, and a lot of it is from high-quality providers, such as the BBC, ITV and Sky. As all of the content is available through dedicated apps, you don't need a smartphone or tablet to use any of the content.

The Roku Streaming Stick is well worth considering as an alternative to the Google Chromecast. Although it doesn't match its rival's simplicity or low price, it provides access to far more content, and its dual-band Wi-Fi capability means you're less likely to suffer from wireless interference.

At just $49.99, the Roku Streaming Stick is an incredible value for those that want (yet another way) to stream video and audio through their high-definition televisions. Its compact size makes it easy to bring along on trips, and the number of services offered leaves little to be desired.

Roku’s sheer volume of content is unparalleled, and while the long tail of options is mostly just hilarious, Roku’s still the only set-top box to offer such a long list of A-list content. (And B-list, and C-list, and D-list.)

The Streaming Stick is a joy to use—one it was on a Wi-Fi network, the performance was snappy, and the content looked great.

Roku's boxes have continued to shrink over the years, and the Streaming Stick is the culmination of that process. It's essentially all the hardware of a full-size Roku box packed into a device not much bigger than a USB flash drive.
