Hi. I am a app developer and professional streamer helping people cut the cord. I normally expose CZcams "streaming advise" channels because of all the misinformation. BUT I have to say I really like your content. It's refreshing to finally find good streaming advise
Feel free to always give me feedback if you think I got something wrong :)
Advice not advise.
@@Buckaroo801in his country it's spelled advise.
I used Roku for several years before taking the plunge to Firestick 4K Max - i don't mind seeing a couple of adverts, looks more modern and love that Firestick does more and being in the UK, can use a VPN which is a big bonus
Well for me I like Roku better. Just my personal preference. 😊
We have both Rokus and Fire sticks on our TVs, just because they are so cheap on dale, and, as you pointed out, there advantages to each. All of our devices work fine, but I find it amazing that our original Roku LT from 2011 still works. More or less!
Q
Thanks ugt 👍👍👍👍👍
Thorough walk through. Excellent!!!!! 🌟
Roku is like cable very reliable. Firestick is a bit wonky but does more.
I tried to love the fire stick even upgraded to the 4kmax newest models and it sucks I always get audio cut out with my receiver at random times having to turn off everything tye turn it back on and it's works again also even with the latest models it can become laggy just scrolling through apps. I'm using a Roku 4k stick now with no audio problems when exiting apps it can get a little lag but not much at all thats all I noticed Roku is a smooth experience Amazon needs to fix there performance and audio issues
no bluetooth on rook makes it a pain to use with headphones. For me its a pass despite UI being better.
That is not true. You can change the audio options. It is automatically set at a certain choice and that leaves it open for each person to set their own needs. Explore your options...they are there. My Roku has lasted a very long time. My last one died after 8 years...so I'll say I got my monies worth out of it. I'm not here to diss the fire stick, I've only used Roku. As for ads, I hate them, and if the fire stick has more ads, I'm definately out. The last Roku I purchased was a stick and it works beautifully for my second TV.
Had me sold on Roku as soon as I heard "headphone jack". Perfect for my needs and the free shows won't hurt any either. Have been getting frustrated with the fire stick locking up & freezing, constant reboots, etc. Been using those for years. Don't like the menu so much either. Time to try something different. Great video. Thank you.
Fire stick allows you to listen to blue tooth headphones as well, you just have to pair it up.
QUESTION any local channels ?
name one thing you can customize in all those fire TV menus you scrolled over - i dare you
You can also use the fire stick as a computer
In my experience rokus OS is a lot smoother when clicking around, firestick feels more sluggish. To me that counts for a lot. I've never felt like I was missing out on any app on roku, they've had every app I've ever wanted.
It is boring
Kind of funny, the title was how firestick is superior and yet you highlighted why Roku is superior. I loathe firestick now days.
I loathe Roku it is boring completely inflexible
10:42 Looks like Roku device DOES have an ETHERNET connection, which allows a direct connection to home gateway, which gives superior connection to WiFi.
Which one has nbc?
The Fire stick home screen is to cluttered and has to many ads. Thats why Roku is still the #1 selling streaming device. The average user doesn't want third party apps. They just want Netflix, Amazon, Disney+, HBO max and similar apps.
I agree they have cluttered it wayyyy too much
Roku Gang
Firestick vs Roku. I prefer Roku Ultra 4k box. Reason simplicity. No adds or very little if they do. Ethernet Connection, Can add Storage, Free Live TV. I am older but that doesn't mean I don't understand anything about tech I know enough. Voice remote. I don't care for the voice thing, I don't want anything turned on that can listen to me in the privacy of my home. I turn all voice controls OFF on anything that has it and that includes my phone. You can now charge the Roku remote via usb type C. I do wish Roku remote could control my Bose system volume control. I use Harmony Logitech universal remote solves all my problems. Side loading is like AOL used to be fun when it started. You used it until you knew what you were doing then moved on to something better. Very good comparison. But I will stick with simple Roku for me.
Ruko allows you to hook up the ethernet directly which allows it stream on demand a lot quicker?
Hey ... I Watch U Probably More Than Anybody Else When It Comes The Amazon Fire 🔥 TV Sticks Ect.Ect I Have A Question And Hope U Can Answer It Or Even Do A Video On It.. This Is About Your Fire Tv Cube, Inwhich I'm Talking About , U Have To Always Go Through Alexa If You Want To Get The Best AUDIO CONTENT From Your Avr Receivers???? Why Is That??? Is There A Way In Settings To Get Best Sound Output???
Hmmm what exactly are you having issues connecting
@@UpgradeGuyTech The Sound OR Surround sound, It's Low And I Have A Receiver Connected To My Samsung Tv eArc ... Sound Is Sorta Low??? I Have All Connected to AVRX6700H
I have a roku tv and an android box connected to it. I have the best of both worlds.
That’s a great option! Dual system would be amazing
@@UpgradeGuyTech it wasn't very expensive. The TV I believe was around $350 for a 65" and the android box was only about $30. I love my setup. There isn't anything I can't watch.
Enjoy the Chinese trackers in the android box
They can track me all they want. All they will get is bored.
@@ihmpalloh poor you,and your anti-chinese propaganda
My roku was still working over 10 yrs. Firestick bricked after only 2 yrs🤦🏾♀️
damn 10 years
I’ve had my Roku for 6 years and it no longer will connect to my Wi-Fi. Have you ever had this problem? I would love to get it back up and running.
Make a decision its roku or firestick...
Why not both
The fire stick should be free with all those ads, ive had both and roku is far better
Had a Roku for years and my kids broke the remote and I bought a fire stick and absolutely fucking hate it. ALWAYS having issues. Volume stops working, you press a button and it sticks, the video gets fucked up like the tv itself has a broken screen and probably some more shit I’m not remembering right now but fuck Amazon and their fire stick I regret not buying another Roku
Roku is the simplest device to use overall
I do have issues with firestick connecting good to wifi a room over, but lll take firestick mostly for kodi only otherwise I'd just say go roku
Fortunately, really zero point of either with smart TVs and Kodi is crap compared to how it wAs. Seems like anything good like movies just released or a tv show is kinda hard to find these days (10 years ago it was far easier to use 3rd party app like Kodi. It's gotten harder to access things at least for myself)
@@UpgradeGuyTech It's not a matter of simplicity. Amazon is a horrible company and even if it wasn't, the Firestick has a garbage interface with more ads than I've seen literally anywhere else.
I got a fire stick
No one realized the thumbnail is AI generated. THE FUTURE IS COMING!!!
it wasnt i drew this by hand
I was told that you buy the remote and the usb stick and that was it...wrong...there is a monthly charge just like dish or cable.
I have Roku tv built in to my Phillips tv and I still use firestick. I have all the popular free streaming apps on the TV and kodi and other apps for sports on the firestick. I live on the west coast and all my favorite sports teams are back east were I'm originally from and while I can get some of the sports apps on the TV having and using them on the firestick allows me to change location so I can watch my favorite teams
Roku and Firestick combo is perfect
Where can I get more info on Kodi and such? I’m trying to cut my cable but have been hesitant due to wanting to watch live sports still. Thanks in advance for any help.
can you download games?
On firestick
Ruku is inflexible
missed most of this....fell asleep......
Firestick I'd not superior to roku. Roku is extremely better. Yes its more expensive because your probably not using kodi....but the point is the menu system is pure chaotic garbage. Firestick is pure junk. I use my for my streaming and my firestick is a paperweight for papers on my desk.
Roku better, not constantly trying to sell me shit all the time
I thought this was going to be a good video, but again you're comparing the Roku vs fire TV as a power user. Which is disappointing. Again it's not the power users that buy these devices because they make up a tiny fraction of the market. You also didn't mention that on Roku devices you never have to clear the cache or force stop apps. Also I have a fire tv stick 4k max and a 2020 Roku Ultra that comes with the Roku voice remote pro and I'm a power user and i prefer the Roku Ultra because it's just a better and faster device. At the end of the day if you can't get an app from the streaming device app store is it worth using? I think not. I'm happy you like fire TV OS, but you're a power user and you shouldn't compare devices based on being a power user.
No kodi so the only way to watch my media through roku would be to screen share from another device which really defeats the purpose. I'm a "power user" and while you can side load roku it's just easier for me to stream what interest me on the firestick. 🏴☠️Life
@@RayraywheelzSee the average person that makes up the 95% of the people that buy these devices don't know about Kodi. All they care about is which device is going to play max and Netflix the best. Also you must be happy force stopping apps and clearing the cache all the time. I never have to do that on my Roku devices. You say fire TV devices are better than Roku. Explain this, why is Roku the number one streaming device on the market? Power user's make up only maybe 5% of the total people that buy streaming devices. I'm a power user, but I prefer Roku devices because I never have to force stop apps or clear the cache. Also my 2020 Roku Ultra comes with the Roku voice remote pro at no extra cost. Can't say that about fire TV devices.
My dude my content is going to be for whoever I want it to be :) I do say that very basic users Roku is perfect for
@@UpgradeGuyTechit's great that Amazon lets you sideloaded apps for now, but you can't say one device is better than the other because of sideloading apps. The 2022 Apple TV 4k is a better streaming device than both the 2020 Roku Ultra and fire TV 4k max. What really makes the 2020 Roku Ultra the best on the best streaming device on the market is that it comes with the Roku voice remote pro at no extra cost. it literally makes your Roku Ultra a hands free device. Also you can buy it separately and make almost any Roku devices hands free.
Also isn't the memory much larger on the roku over the firestick
Firestick sucks.
Roku sucks you mean
@@nielbrookes1890 Have you used one?
Fire stick is crap

Fire tv above all others roku sucks can't side load can't get new movies tv only old crappy things
