Streaming Device Deals

Cheap streaming devices for any TV

Cheap streaming devices like plug-in sticks, set-top boxes and gaming-capable media players are gathered on this page. Each one adds apps to a TV through its HDMI port, giving an older set new life or adding streaming to the guest room for a small outlay.

Cheap streaming devices: will one work with your TV?

• See whether your TV supports 4K and HDR before paying for a device that outputs them, since the extra resolution needs a matching screen.
• Confirm the device carries the apps you pay for, and check whether its home screen pushes ads.
• Remotes with TV power and volume buttons let you put away the television's own remote for good.
• Wi-Fi can be weak behind a TV, so look for an Ethernet adapter option if your router sits far away.

Which suits you: Viewers with a newer smart TV may only need a device if built-in apps run slowly, while older HD sets and travelers benefit most from a compact stick.
