The Roku HD Streaming Stick, a well-known alternative to Amazon's Fire TV Stick, can now be purchased for just £4.49 by new members of TopCashback and Argos. This deal undercuts the standard price of £19.99 significantly, making it an attractive option for those looking to upgrade their TV without committing to costly subscriptions from Sky, EE, or Virgin Media.
How the Deal Works
To secure the discounted price, consumers must sign up as new members on the TopCashback website. After registering, they should search for Argos, click 'Get Cashback Now', and then purchase the Roku HD Streaming Stick for £19.99. The cashback will be tracked and appear in the TopCashback account within seven working days, effectively reducing the cost to £4.49.
Key Features of the Roku HD Streaming Stick
The 2025 Roku device offers several advantages over the basic 2025 Amazon Fire TV Stick. One standout feature is private listening via the Roku mobile app, which allows users to connect headphones and watch alongside friends or quickly sync content from their phone to the TV. Additionally, the Roku stick supports Apple AirPlay, enabling iPhone users to mirror their screen onto the TV—a feature that Amazon's Fire TV Stick does not offer.
The device provides HD quality, Wi-Fi connectivity, and access to a wide range of streaming apps, including Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV+, and BBC iPlayer. However, Amazon's Fire TV Stick outperforms Roku in speed, as mid-tier 2025 Fire TV Sticks have higher RAM, making app switching faster.
Customer Feedback
One Argos Roku shopper reported replacing an old Fire TV Stick with the Roku device, calling it an 'improvement' and noting that it was 'speedier than their other model'. Another customer praised the picture quality, stating, 'The picture quality is great, although it's really down to the resolution of your TV and the quality of the wifi signal.'
Users also appreciate the convenience of having all streaming apps in one place, though one remarked, 'It is annoying that you have to register or create an account for every app service now.'
