• In simplistic terms, the ROKU allows one, with a HDMI ported TV, and wifi high speed internet service, to receive streamed (canned if you will) TV programming. Most major networks offer free programming of this nature. Some programming, e.g. HGTV, might charge for its programming.

• The purpose of the Roku stick is to stream media from different channels or apps (some free, some that require payment) to your television. When unboxed, the device comes with a USB power cord. This cord will plug into the stick on one end, and then you plug it into a power outlet. The streaming stick itself plugs right into the HDMI port on an HD tv (located either on the side or behind it). Set up is fairly straightforward, and it will ask you to create a Roku account (it's free) and then connect to your Wi-Fi. You may then search for downloadable channels: YouTube, Crackle, Netflix, Hulu, etc. If you have an Android or compatible Microsoft PC, it is capable of mirroring that as well.

• The Roku Stick turns a HD tv into a HD smart tv. It connects via WIFI so a WIFI signal need to be present. and now a lot of on demand content, you tube, and some web browsing is now available. The best on demand content is third party and has a fee either per view or by subscription like Hulu, Netflix, or Showtime, but there is a lot of free on demand movies, clips, music, and more. like you tube.

• The Roku Streaming Stick is a wireless device that allows you to stream popular applications such as Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, and much more to your TV via the Internet. You must have a wireless Internet connection available to do this. The streaming stick itself plugs in to an HDMI port (and USB port for power) on your TV.
