Google's Chromecast and Roku's Streaming Stick have both been around for a while now. When Roku was first released, more recently, it touted itself as having a huge number of channels, something Chromecast didn't. But gradually, Google has been catching up. Gizmag decided to compare the two.

There are a burgeoning number of ways to receive content streamed from the internet to your living room TV, and no single provider is proving significantly dominant. One service that is certainly popular, though, is Roku. Gizmag takes a look at the recently-launched Roku Streaming Stick.

In the battle for the living room, the launch of Google's Chromecast further fragmented the market with another new means of content delivery. A variety of alternatives have since been launched, including a new offering from Roku dubbed the Streaming Stick (HDMI version).

One of the most popular television add-ons of the past decade, Roku, now has a TV of its own, thanks to Chinese television makers TCL and Hisense. I spent a little hands-on time with TCL's 55-inch set, which simply goes by the model number 55E4610R.

Roku, the company known for its range of home video streaming solutions, has announced an entire suite of new models. The company has streamlined its naming convention, as well as given a facelift to the look of all existing models, which it says will "simplify everything."

Roku brings it latest box to market with 1080p streaming, a faster processor, and a new remote.

3M's Streaming Projector merges the massive displays only a projector can produce with the streaming content for which Roku is known.
