Argos and ASDA dish out cheap Fire TV Stick rival that includes content for free

Must read

Amazon’s Fire TV Stick might rule the roost when it comes to streaming devices but it’s not the only way to tune into online content. Roku is another hugely popular alternative and the firm’s range of telly-watching gadgets has just had a price cut which means you can bag one for as little as £24.99.

The deals are available at some of the UK’s biggest retailers including Argos, ASDA and Currys and they are clearly proving popular with it confirmed that the devices are currently “in demand” and “selling fast”.

Along with getting instant access to all of the most famous premium streaming platforms – such as Netflix, Disney+ and Apple TV+, – those buying one will also be able to tune into plenty of shows and movies for free thanks to apps such as ITVX, BBC iPlayer and the Roku Channel.

This exclusive Roku service features an always-changing selection of free movies, shows, kids and entertainment along with Roku Originals such as Dinner Budget Showdown, Fight Inc. Inside the UFC and The Great American Baking Show.

Another bonus of buying a Roku Stick is a limited-time deal that offers Crunchyroll for free. The 2-month offer is thanks to Roku partnering with the anime streaming service allowing new users to tune in and not pay the usual £4.99 fee.
