Roku vs Amazon fire vs generic droid tv

[Micdew]

Good day everyone.

Since the rand has improved vs the pound it means I can afford a streaming device now.

I have checked out amazon.uk and saw the following under £30:

Roku streaming stick
Amazon fire stick
A whole lot of generic droid boxes (not fancy ones like minix)

Since I dont know to much, which would be the best buy?

For me - Roku.

Roku here as well. But it all depends on what you're hoping to watch.

Op - have you looked on Amazon US as well? Their prices are generally better than the UK.

Definitely Roku, but if you want to use kodi, then an android box or Amazon

The Roku 3500R streaming stick is really not great, and that's £39. If you want a decent Roku you need the Roku3, 4 or 3600R which is £90. The FireTV stick is much faster than the 3500r so I'd rather go for that. Also consider the ChromeCast 2 which is what I'm using now, it's brilliant.
