Today we are going to compare two of the best streaming players the no.1 Roku and the Chromecast: Roku is miniscule and much smaller than the Chromecast. It is lighter and comes with a processor that is 8 times more powerful than ever before. And not just that – it’s cheap. The Roku streaming stick’s tiny stick form factor makes it unique. The device does not need a lot of horsepower. The Chromecast is good too, but definitely a lot heavier and bigger in dimensions and is less compatible than the Roku. Design-wise, the Roku is absolutely out of sight and behind the TV. It looks much like the dongle, while the Chromecast is still a round disc. The Roku comes with its own OS and a modular user interface. Unfortunately the Chromecast is just a hardware hub and you can just stream content from other devices into your TV. Last but not the least, if you look at the content offered by both the devices - Roku’s offers are definitely astounding. It streams more than 3000 channels of entertainment. The Chromecast offers extremely limited content. Chromecast is only URL-based while the Roku is OS-based and has the ability to capture content directly from the network. The Roku setup is very easy and can be completed in just a few minutes.
