Best Apple TV Alternatives for 2018

Roku Streaming Stick - $49.99

The Roku Streaming Stick is another great small option that is an excellent Apple TV alternative. 

You can buy three for the price of one Apple TV and you get most of the same features. This remote includes dedicated buttons for Netflix, Sling, Hulu and DIRECTVNow. You can also use your voice for controls and it will turn your TV on and control the volume. 

Roku supports Netflix, Pandora, Hulu, WatchESPN, Amazon Video, HBO Now, PBS Kids, YouTube, and many other apps. You can also use it as a cable box replacement for Spectrum with the Spectrum app. 

This small streaming stick is great for wall mounted TVs or for taking with you when you travel. The only downside to this one is that there is no headphone jack in the remote like you'll find in the Roku Ultra.
