What Should I Do If My Device Doesn’t Offer My Favorite Streaming App?

Maybe you have an older TV or a streaming device that isn’t compatible with newer versions of apps. If so, we recommend simply buying a new streaming device. For people on a budget, Roku and Fire TV offer an inexpensive entry point. If you’re willing to invest a little more, Apple TV offers a lot to love. Those devices will plug into the HDMI port of your TV and allow you to have a wider variety of streaming options.
