Best streaming devices 2020: Watch TV and movies at home

Amazon Prime Video is also available pretty much anywhere, now that its long-running feud with Google has ended.In my experience, streaming boxes work better than most smart TVs thanks to easy-to-use interfaces, snappier performance and faster updates — if you have a TV that still doesn’t support Disney+, you know why this matters. For most people, though, I recommend a standalone box over your TV’s built-in smarts.The Roku is an inexpensive, easy-to-use streaming box that supports just about every channel under the sun. You can search across all channels for a movie with your voice, subscribe to your favorite shows and even plug your headphones into the remote (or your phone) for so-called “private listening.” There are a few different Roku devices at different price points but I recommend these two.If you want something affordable and don’t need 4K playback, the small Roku Express is perfect.The Roku Ultra brings all the bells and whistles, like compatibility with 4K and HDR content, faster performance and a better remote — all for less than $100.This site is protected by recaptcha Privacy Policy | Terms of ServiceThe Apple TV is a fantastic device that’s easy to use — especially if you already own other Apple devices.
