The Roku Streaming Stick (HDMI version) features the compact stick design by Roku and plugs discreetly into an HDMI port for a streamlined look that’s ideal for wall-mounted TVs.

For the best TV experience, the entire household can use the included remote control to access the Roku user interface with shortcuts to movies, TV shows, news, the Roku Channel Store, Roku Search and more.

Those who desire a mobile experience can use their smartphone or tablet (along with the free Roku apps for Android and iOS devices) to browse and select channels to stream.

They can also cast Netflix, YouTube and personal media from their devices to their TVs. Over time Roku will add additional mobile features such as the ability to cast content from a computer to the TV.
