I have both Roku and Amazon Fire TV Sticks.
All the blogs I read that compared these two devices left
out the reason I like the Roku over the Amazon Fire TV Stick.
I can watch channels on any PC monitor or TV monitor with
these devices without renting a cable TV box.
Why is Roku better in this regard?
·
Your cable TV provider must support a app on
either the Roku or the Amazon Fire TV Stick. Comcast supports more channels on
the Roku.
·
Roku provides a free movie app. These offering
change monthly. I can always find a couple of my movies watching each month. No
such channel exists from Amazon.
·
Many must have Blu Ray movies I buy have a
digital copy included. One place
where all my digital copies are stored is an app called VUDU. This app also has
free movies that change monthly. This app is not currently available on Amazon
Fire TV Stick.
Roku provides more access than Amazon with their apps. In
this case, more is better.
