Tired of the hassle with your TV’s built-in streaming services whenever you want to watch a movie? You can snag some great deals on our favorite Roku streaming devices just in time for the last football game of the season. Our top recommendation for most viewers is the Streaming Stick 4K, which is currently available for just $35 on Amazon, down from $50. It supports full 4K streaming and Dolby Vision.
Unlike other streaming devices that need extra plugs and take up table space, the Roku Streaming Stick 4K plugs right into an HDMI port on the back of your TV, staying out of sight. And it doesn’t hold back on features, offering both 4K and Dolby Vision support in a compact design.
As with other Roku devices, the remote comes with a built-in microphone. Just press a button and ask for a show or movie, and it’ll search your streaming services to start playing it. While higher-end Rokus offer completely hands-free voice control, this button activation is a solid compromise for the price.
If you’re in the market for a more advanced Roku, you can also score a deal on the Roku Ultra. It takes up a bit more space on your entertainment center than the Streaming Stick, but it delivers a stronger dual-band Wi-Fi connection and features a dedicated Ethernet port for a more reliable streaming experience. Right now, it’s marked down from $100 to $79—a modest discount, but just enough to buy those extra wings for the game.
