True fact: I found my first streaming device on with a flatscreen TV left out for grabs in front of someone’s. The label said everything worked and that it was free for the taking. So I did. That’s why I have Roku.

It works for me. New units are only about $25 or $30 at Best Buy. What have you got to use?

As for smart TV, you’ll probably find it easier to upgrade an external device than one that is built into the TV. I have a smart TV, but the built in streaming feature is way outdated and cannot be upgraded.
