 I have the Amazon Firestick on all my TVs and I am very satisfied with it. Is there much of a difference between the Firestcik and the Roku device?

Len, I have one Firestick, one AppleTV, and two Roku devices. They're all similar in that they allow you to add apps to access content. Of the three in order of my preference I'd say I like:
1. AppleTV
2. Roku
3. Amazon Firestick
To me, it all really comes down to ease of navigation and layout of the app menus. They all have their quirks, but imo, the Firestick seems more cumbersome for me to use than the other two.

I started out with a couple of firesticks. Then switched to a couple of rokus. I liked the roku a little better. One feature of the roku was having a remote on my phone that allowed me to use my ear buds so I was the only person who could hear it. That was nice early morning when I am the only one awake.

Now I only use my smart Samsung TV for my streaming services and the superbox for movies and a few other things.
