Amazon Firestick may appear to be popular with Prime users. Is Roku easier to setup and use? Which model? What pricing?

Any problems encountered or advice to share would be welcomed and appreciated.
I recently had a hands-on experience with Roku Ultra and was blown away. Goodbye cable.

However, I will miss not having a DVR to record anything I may not be able to watch in real-time. Any suggestions?

YouTubeTV and many other streaming services have a cloud DVR service that allows you to record programs. You can also watch a lot of previously aired shows using their "on demand" service.

The better levels of Roku come with a remote that will turn the tv on and off, adjust volume, etc. so you only need one remote
