Walked into the store on boxing week and saw a roku stick on clearance for $10. Used it for years until the remote died. Used the phone app with it for a while until i found another roku kit on sale for less than a replacement remote.
Dumb question, what is a roku, I thought it was a tv brand. I don't own a tv.
A Roku stick is something you plug in a TV that has an OS you can use to connect to your wifi. You can then download different apps to launch different streaming services. This includes a Roku app/channel and also Netflix, max, Disney, Hulu, zues, prime, etc...
It's a standalone "smart".
If your old TV or computer monitor lacks a "smart", a Roku stick is one of the cheaper ways to acquire it.
