The Roku Streaming Stick Plus – 4K & HDR Roku Streaming Device for TV with Voice Remote – Free & Live TV is on sale right now for $24.99, which is a solid price if you want to upgrade an older TV or just make your streaming setup easier to use. This little stick plugs right into an HDMI port on your TV, so you do not need a big box or a bunch of cables. If you have a 4K TV, you can stream shows and movies in 4K and HDR, which means sharper picture and better color, as long as the app and content support it. If you are still on a regular HD TV, it works fine there too, and you can keep using it even if you upgrade your TV later.
You also get a voice remote, which is a nice step up from hunting and pecking letters on the screen. You can press the mic button and say the name of a show, movie, actor, or app you want, and it will pull it up for you. This helps a lot if you are tired of typing long passwords or titles with arrow keys. The remote controls the Roku menus, and on most newer TVs it can also be set to control power and volume, so you might be able to keep just one remote in your hand instead of a small pile on the couch. For a low price like 24.99, getting a streaming stick plus a voice remote is a pretty good bundle.
One of the big draws is the access to free and live TV. Roku has its own free channel with live news, old shows, movies, and random channels you can flip through when you do not feel like choosing something specific. You can also add apps like Pluto TV, Tubi, and other free services to get more content without paying monthly fees. Of course, it still supports the usual paid apps like Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Prime Video, and many others, so you can keep all of those in one place on a simple home screen instead of jumping between devices. If you have kids, you can set up kids’ apps and keep everything on one stick instead of handing them your phone or tablet.
If your current TV “smart” menu feels slow or clunky, or if you have an older TV with no built‑in apps at all, this is a cheap way to bring it up to date and make it easier to use. It is also a good pick for a spare room, dorm, or travel, since the stick is small enough to toss in a bag and use on different TVs. For $24.99, you are paying less than many monthly cable bills for a device that can give you 4K and HDR streaming, a handy voice remote, and access to a lot of free and live TV. If you have been thinking about cutting cable, or just want a smoother streaming setup without spending much, this deal is worth grabbing before the price goes back up.
