Slick deal. This is cheaper than buying a replacement remote.

The 4K version is $9 more ($25, on sale from $40):

https://www.amazon.com/Roku-Strea...B0DXY833HV

I got the 2022 version of the 4K Streaming Stick [amazon.com] locally a couple of weeks ago as a cheap Apple AirPlay receiver for my non-Smart TV. It works pretty well for that purpose. Outside of buying an Apple TV at $130, using a Roku device such as this seems to be the cheapest and simplest way to add Airplay support to an HDMI display.

I really wasn't planning on using any of the other functionality since I have a Windows PC connected to my TV for gaming and streaming. However, I was pleasantly surprised about the free content that was available, particularly kids content on the Roku Family and Kids channel. So far, I think everything I've tested was Ad-free. It's also very easy for kids to use on their own. It's a much simpler "portal" to access free resources such as PBS Kids and Tubi and Hoopla compared to firing up the PC. Of course, the PC has the benefit of Firefox + uBlock Origin. I guess something like this might be possible the the Walmart Onn Streaming box too? I don't have one, so I don't know.

(The 2025 version of the 4K Streaming Stick is identical the 2022 version I bought. The 2025 version has lower power consumption and can more reliably be run off of a TV's USB Port. The 2022 version consumes more power and is recommended to be plugged into a power outlet, but it has a more powerful Wifi antenna built into the USB power cable).

Community Reviews

The Roku Streaming Stick HD is a simple, low cost way to add Roku streaming and voice remote control to an HDMI TV, especially for basic 1080p setups. It is praised for easy setup, a clean interface, ongoing app updates, and handy free content from Roku Channel, Tubi, PBS Kids, and Hoopla. It can also work well as an AirPlay receiver or a spare device for travel and projector use. Main limits are the HD resolution, no Dolby Vision or Dolby TrueHD passthrough, and privacy concerns around Roku data collection.

I'm not sure why you are spreading this false information, but both Roku and Apple are publicly traded companies, and you can read about how they operate through their public reports, as well as through news reporting on their operations. Roku makes the majority of its revenue through selling ad space. That is not at all the same as selling data to data brokers.
And tell me, how do you think Roku targets their ads on a device-by-device basis? By harvesting your viewing data and whatever else they can snoop on your network. If you are going to stick with your Roku, as I did for many years before upgrading to the relatively private Apple TV device, at least put your Rokus on an isolated VLAN and run pi-hole as your DNS server. Or, like many folks today, remain apathetic and let them harvest all your data all day long. You do you. My PSA was for people who give a sh** about their privacy. There is nothing false in what I said.

Buyer Beware: There's a reason these devices are so cheap. They are bait. Roku's main source of revenue comes from harvesting your personal viewing data/habits (along with any other activity they can ingest from of devices on your home network), including screenshots, thousands of times per hour, and selling your data to data brokers--along with using it themselves to advertise to you. If privacy concerns you at all, get yourself an Apple TV streaming device. BTW--Firestick is even worse at violating your personal data.

Roku makes most its revenue through selling data to data brokers. Truth.

Apple doesn't collect and use its user data. I did not say this. I said they make limited use of the data they collect. They do not sell it to third party brokers, which in effect means anyone may have your data.

Roku, like so many corporations now, monetize your private data without asking if you would like to opt in or out. Hell, they even charge you for it.

DO NOT buy a Roku if you care about protecting your privacy is the bottom line. Sorry if that fusses you. Actually--no, not sorry.

You repeatedly claimed that Roku makes most of its revenue by harvesting user data to sell it to data brokers. That is entirely false. There is not a single legitimate source that you could provide to support that blatantly false claim. Anyone can easily check their public reports and news reporting on their operations. So why are you continuing to lie? You do realize that everyone can read your previous posts, which contain those lies, as well as your most recent post lying about what you previously said?

10-15% of Roku's revenue comes from platform/selling their devices.

85-90% of their revenue comes from harvesting data for personalized ads and data sharing ... aka selling to data brokers.

That information is readily available in their quarterly reports.

No lie--of all the major streaming devices out there, Roku is the second worst, when it comes to monetizing personal data. My own pi-hole used to block ~7,000 attempts daily to phone home with my data before I pulled them off my network. After doing my own research I determined that Apple harvests the least amount of data, using it solely for internal purposes. I NEVER see an ad presented by my new Apple TV device. Can you say that about your Roku that updates its own firmware to become more invasive sometimes several times per month? All without asking if it can install new software in MY house, on MY network. That's offensive in and of itself.

They all harvest data to some extent.

In order ...

The worst offender:

* Firestick (or possibly Oon--jury is out on that)
* Roku
* NVidea Shield
* Apple TV

The least offender:

If that offends you I can't help you. It is what it is.

if you have a traditional receiver powering your speakers, the Roku remote can't communicate with it because it doesn't have an IR transmitter. there's another product, called the sideclick (https://www.sideclickremotes.com/), which is a thin add-on remote that snaps to the side of your roku remote and acts as an IR transmitter.

It doesn't go into a USB port, it plugs into an HDMI port.
You know my very old roku stick was like that, just plugged into the HDMI port and that was it, didn't need a power source so I'm not sure why the change happened (not a criticism of roku just saying I don't know enough about roku sticks to explain why the change happened)... with my newer roku stick ... and apparently all the newer roku sticks.. they have a usb cord attached that gives you an option to plug the roku into both the HDMI port (necessary to broadcast roku's picture to the TV) and the usb port presumably to power the roku stick...

EDIT should have google researched before posting this Smilie .. apparently my ancient roku stick was from back in the days when picture quality on TV's wasn't as good as it is now - broadcasting in that higher picture quality apparently results in more power being drawn from the roku stick and thus the need for the usb power.

Yes. The USB jack on the Roku is for 5v power. I assumed the person I responded to thought you could plug a Roku into a USB port to get video.

That's why you should always add these and other IOT to your guest network, and run a Pihole too.
Guest network is a good idea, but doubtful a pi-hole would interfere with a device like this doing it's thing because Rokus, Firesticks, ONN, etc tend to use their own DNS and you can't manually set DNS on these devices themselves.

If you are running Rokus you are absolutely correct. That's exactly what I did when I had Rokus. IoT VLAN AND DNS blocking by pi-hole. I retired them all as a Christmas present to myself and many family members and replaced them with Apple TV devices. Bought six of them altogether--so I have a lot of Rokus up on the shelf collecting dust now.
Very doubtful a pi-hole would block a device like this as Rokus tend to use their own DNS.

Yes, you plug the Roku Stick into an HDMI port, but I believe they're talking about powering the Roku from a USB port on the back of the TV (instead of an external power plug you'd plug into an electrical outlet).

Selling ads is NOT the same as selling user information to data brokers. Why do you keep spreading this falsehood? You making up lies isn't helping anyone be safer with their information.

Trust me, the pihole blocks tons of Roku traffic. And look it up, you can force override to your own DNS.
Firewall rule blocking port 53, plus setting up NAT destination rewrite.
it's not hard, use Gemini and tell it your router model and that you have a Pihole and it walks you through setup.
Plus on top of that I Mac address block all TVs/Roku's when not in use.

I had to upgrade to the 4k sticks as the HD ones were starting to lag really bad even though my TV's were only 1080p. I probably have 10-20 apps on a stick, so not some insane amount. Netflix ran really badly to point of being unusable.
