Shoppers looking to upgrade their TV without a monthly subscription can grab an affordable gadget for under £5. While Fire TV Sticks are popular, a rival plug-in device offers features not even Amazon provides.
Roku HD Streaming Stick: A Budget-Friendly Alternative
The Roku HD Streaming Stick gives standard TVs access to a wide range of streaming apps. Usually priced at £19.99, a money-saving trick drops it to under £5. New members of cashback firm TopCashback and Argos can get it for just £4.49 after cashback. This means saving over £15 on the purchase.
Key Feature: Private Listening
The 2025 Roku stick outshines the basic Amazon Fire TV Stick with private listening via mobile app support. Users can pair Bluetooth headphones and watch simultaneously with friends or quickly sync content from phone to TV. iPhone users also benefit from AirPlay, allowing screen mirroring—something Fire TV Stick lacks.
Alternatives to Consider
If you prefer Amazon, the Fire TV Stick is available for £24.99 (down from £59.99), offering faster performance and higher RAM for quicker app switching. Another option is the Google TV Streamer at £99, providing live TV, streaming apps, and smart home control.
Customer Reviews
Shoppers praise the Roku stick for easy setup and functionality. One customer said: "Easy to set up, good value, straightforward to use. Doesn’t need an extra power source." Another added: "Excellent solution for slightly older TV panel. Great value but seamless UI and performance." A third noted: "Amazing device, portable and easy to use." However, one customer warned: "May stop working if overheated, just take it out and leave it for a bit."
