Two of our tvs are newer smart tvs that connect directly to our wifi and don't require an intermediate connection device. This is the best of situations where we have You Tube tv(gets local channels), Netflix, Amazon and PBS premium. However, I have a Chromecast Gongel and a Firestick for my den tv where I mainly watch sports. I prefer the Gongel over the Firestick for my purposes but both work fine since my wifi router/modem is in the den. Occasionally, my wife watches movies or series on Netflix, Amazon or PBS in the den and says the Firestick works great. However, after reading comments about the Roku, it sounds like it is very good as well.
