Over the last few years live-streaming TV has captured the attention of a consumers globally. In Canada the numbers indicate one in four anglophone Canadians have cut the cord and no longer pay for a legacy, traditional TV service.
Leading the streaming charge in the Great White North is Roku. Today they announced the launch of the Roku® Streaming Stick+ in Canada. Powered by a quad-core processor and fueled by Roku OS, this revolutionary device provides consumers with brilliant HD, 4K Ultra HD and HDR Picture Quality. Slightly bigger than a USB, the Roku® Streaming Stick+ interfaces directly into one of your TV’s HDMI port and leverages WiFi to connect back to your Wireless home network.
Roku has gone that extra mile to enhance their customers streaming by addressing one the big pet peeves of consumers. typically streaming devices are well hidden in cabinets, behind TV screens or in the corner which provides horrible (or worse) network connectivity. Roku has killed this bug by building in a Wi-Fi antenna into the power cable of the Streaming Stick+. The end result is 4x Wireless Range with the Advanced Wireless Receiver.
Setting up the Roku® Streaming Stick+ is quite easy and can be configured in minutes. Simply plug in, turn on, connect it to your network, log in and your ready to stream.
The Roku® Streaming Stick+ comes with a RF remote and has a button and microphone for voice searches, so you can hold the remote up and speak to it. For those who prefer the mobile devices to the remote, can also leverage the easy to use iOS or Android app on your mobile phone or tablet to control, search and even listen to content. Personally, I love this option as I find it much easier to type on my mobile device as compared to remotes.
The Roku® Streaming Stick+ is another nail in the coffin of cable TV. Portable, affordable, enhanced and extended Wi-Fi make it a great device to use at home, on the road and even at the cottage.
