January 26, 2015

Whether you're a cord cutter or not, you're probably going to want a streaming device for your TV and Roku remains the most popular against Apple TV, Google Chromecast $31.59 at Amazon, and the Amazon Fire TV Stick $39.00 at Amazon, according to Parks Associates.

Part of that popularity may lie in the variety of Roku devices. There are four Roku devices and they all work pretty much the same way once you've got them installed. There's the original Roku, Roku 2, Roku 3 $89.00 at Amazon, and the Roku Streaming Stick $47.97 at Amazon and they range from $49.99 to $99.99.

Whether you just got a Roku or you've had one for years, there's more to know beyond the basics of watching Netflix and catching up with "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" on Crackle. We've put together seven ways for you to get more out of your Roku.
