When it’s cold, I don’t want to leave my house. I am ready to get cozy indoors and catch up on my favourite shows. Thankfully, Roku kindly sent over a Roku streaming stick and Roku Streambar! I can now enjoy my favourite shows that I normally watch online on my TV but with high-quality sound. I also get to watch all the reality TV madness on Hayu, a channel dedicated to showing you all your favourite shows. In addition, I can stream podcasts and music while I work that sound amazing due to the soundbar. Hopefully, you can also get through the winter with the Roku Streambar.
What I love about using the Roku device is that I can catch up on missed episodes and watch shows I have never seen before all in one place. It’s a great way to spend a cold Saturday night with your friends or lover!
Why You Will Love Roku
Roku is a portable streaming stick that provides entertainment on-the-go all in a powerful wireless stick. I think it’s a great gift and you can take it with you while you travel. You can connect to wireless networks simply with browser login. Browse through channels with point-anywhere remote, or you can use the Roku app on your smartphone!
With Roku, you have access to thousands of channels such as Netflix, Youtube TV and Amazon Prime Video. Doesn’t this make you happy?! I am currently streaming music videos via Youtube while I work. There are also a ton of movies and shows available on free channels on this service as well.
Roku Streambar is a 2-in-1 entertainment upgrade with powerful streaming and premium sound for any TV with HDMI, including Roku TV™ models. With the streambar, which is essentially an awesome speaker, you hear every detail as you stream.

You can control the Roku Streambar by speaking to Amazon Alexa and/or Google Assistant devices.
