here are many ways to watch online content on your TV. Your television

itself might have apps, or you might have a Blu-ray player or game

system connected with built-in streaming services. If neither case

applies, or if your TV, Blu-ray player, or game system doesn’t have the exact

media features you want, you can get a dedicated media streaming hub. Most

media streamers allow you to set up your TV with any online or local media

streaming services you need for well under $100.

Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, Apple TV, Google Cast, and Roku. All of these

platforms except Google Cast have on-screen menu systems and dedicated

remotes, so you can view whatever you want from the couch without a mobile

device to control everything. Google Cast relies on a PC, smartphone, or tablet,

with Cast-compatible apps to stream content. No matter which you choose,

each gives you access to many of the most popular music- and video-streaming

services available.
