I only started using the television in the bedroom a few months ago, and I hooked it up to an Amazon fire stick because it’s not a smart TV. I had had that fire stick for several years and it has started glitching and apparently it’s very outdated and you can’t update the software.
So then the question became whether I order a new fire stick or would I order a Roku? I’ve heard so much about the Roku’s. I polled my friends and I read many articles online comparing the two and I decided on a mid-level Roku.
I placed the order on Amazon today, but it won’t be here until Halloween

It’s something that you hook up to your TV if your TV isn’t a smart TV that allows you to access streaming channels like Netflix, Amazon prime, etc. I don’t know exactly what you call it.

Did you already have You Tube access? You'll get it with Roku.

Roku is a product that I use on my smart television and Roku is a pretty good product.

I never had a Roku. But when my son moved up here, he had one, and a friend gave us one, too, that he wasn't using. We have both hooked up and get tons of good things via Roku...I love it and it didn't cost a thing, except son of course paid for his back then. I think many people have forgotten about Roku, but it's worth looking in to!

Our tiny little bedroom TV set is not a smart TV either, but we have old school bunny ears on it, and we can get the local analog channels, which is great, because it is seldom used.
You will be happy to get the new one when you do and get it set up, just in time for the colder weather, when you may bed to go to bed to cozy up on a cool night.
