![]() ![]() While Roku boasts of 1,800 channels, there are only a handful you'd ever actually watch. There's very little practical difference among these sticks in terms of the content you can watch. Currently, the Fire TV app is limited to Android devices, making the Roku Streaming Stick the most flexible option. Verdict: The Roku and Fire TV sticks offer the best of both worlds with a physical remote and mobile app for easier searches. Amazon does sell the $30 voice-search enabled remote that ships with its Fire TV. For that option you'll have to use the Roku and Fire TV smartphone apps (the latter is currently Android-only). Neither the Roku nor Amazon remotes include voice search. Matches in Hulu Plus, Crackle, Vevo, and Showtime are included, but to see Netflix results you'll actually have to search directly inside its app. With the Fire TV Stick, searches are largely limited to Amazon's own catalog. Amazon, as you'd expect, puts its Instant Video options front and center on the home screen. Roku's interface is much more app agnostic though, with title searches bringing up matches from several services, making it easy to choose the lowest-priced option. The onscreen interfaces of both platforms allow you to browse content without much fuss. ![]() Both the Roku Streaming Stick and Amazon Fire TV stick ship with physical remotes.
