Having a separate plug-in streaming device like the Amazon Fire TV stick or the Roku streaming stick means you can easily upgrade your TV’s capabilities and performance without having to replace the entire set. The best streaming devices also come with their own dedicated smart remotes, which can roll your existing TV and soundbar remotes into one, reducing clutter and simplifying your TV watching experience. On the other side of the fence, Android-based streaming devices like the Amazon Fire TV stick, Nvidia Shield and Roku are more open platforms and support VPNs.
