This Roku Streaming Box Is Selling at Its Lowest Price Ever
If your old TV still works fine but doesn’t support streaming, the Roku Streaming Stick (2025) is an inexpensive way to upgrade. It’s now down from its usual $29.99 to $19, according to price trackers .
This small media center supports all the major streaming apps —Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, and Apple TV—and Apple AirPlay, so you can stream content directly from your iPhone or Mac. Setup is easy, performance is smooth, and the interface is intuitive, especially if you’re not looking for anything complicated.
This version is designed for 1080p TVs and doesn’t support HDR or 4K , but that’s one of the reasons it works so well in this price range. Plus, it runs on just 2.2 watts, which means most people can power it directly through their TV’s USB port without needing to use a wall outlet, notes this PCMag review . It includes the standard Roku voice remote with quick-launch buttons for popular apps and a familiar, uncluttered layout. The interface is also focused and user-friendly, avoiding the ad-heavy layout that some other platforms use. For older or second-tier TVs, this is an easy way to get what you need without overspending. There are some limitations, though. Twitch isn’t officially supported, and the voice assistant capabilities are minimal compared to Alexa or Google Assistant on Fire TV and Google TV, respectively.
