To receive centralized whole home ldquoOver the Airrdquo TV you will need An antenna 110 volt power for small
signal amplifier Access from antenna to
cable convergence point A location with clear signal
access to Knoxville
Attic or Whole Home Over the Air TV Antenna
First Thing You Need is an antenna
Will these still work

ClearStream Eclipse
Cost $40-$60
Range 35 to 70 miles
Winegard Flatwave
Cost $25-$55
Range 30 miles
These are great options for people who live in relatively flat areas reasonably close to the TV towers Tellico Village is neither flat nor close to the TV towers

4K UHD HDR Smart LED TV
- 55 Class (546 Diag)
4K refers to the number of
pixels across the screen
4K is not yet available OTA
(perhaps 2019)
4K TV will upconvert 1080p
and other signals
Streaming systems are
supporting 4K (Netflix
YouTube etc)
4K UHD HDR Smart LED TV - 55 Class (546 Diag)
4K UHD HDR Smart LED TV - 55 Class (546 Diag)

Based on Roku Streaming Stick+
Roku Roku is currently the most popular streaming adapter for TV
Plugs directly into HDMI port on TV
Can use power from USB port or from 115 volt source with adapter
Newly released options
Roku Express $2999
Roku Express + $3999
Roku Streaming Stick $4999
Roku Streaming Stick + (for 4K) 6999
Roku Ultra $9999
Voice command available in more expensive models but not yet well developed
Streaming sticksUltra control TV onoff and volume eliminating need for TV remote
Supports HDR 10
Amazon Fire TV
More portable than previous version
o Hangs on HDMI port on TV
- May be clumsy with wall mounted TVs
- Must be plugged to 120 v power source
Includes connection with Alexa
Favors Amazon sites
Supports HDR 10 and Dolby Atmos
Apple 4K TV
Best for those with other Apple products
Supports 4K HDR and Dolby Vision formats from most streamers
Movies are less expensive to rent or buy
Existing iTunes libraries get upgraded to 4K HDR for free
Amazon will soon be available
If 4K is not important there are less expensive Apple TV options
Chromecast Ultra
Small and inexpensive 4K HDR streamer
Requires another device with the Google Home app
o Works with iPhonereg iPadreg Android devices Macreg Windowsreg and Chromebooks
Google Home acts as a remote but with limited streaming channels
Attaches to HDMI port on TV
Supports Dolby Vision
4K Smart TVs can do much of what a Chromecast does
SoWhich is right for me
Little difference between Roku and Fire TV
If you are an Amazon user with an Echo Fire TV probably makes the most sense
If you are an Apple user Apple 4K would work well even though it is more expensive
For everyone else the Roku Streaming Stick is probably the best choice
o Ability to use one remote can be important
o If 4K is not necessary a model is available for $4999 or less

May 2017 The new package of over 50 channels is built on deals with the four big broadcast networks ABC Fox NBC and crucially CBS which has been absent from some early streaming-TV packages So you get all of those plus the cable channels they own One caveat is that local affiliate stations arent available in some markets because of complicated rights deals so thats something you should check on
Generally the package has an impressive breadth of content for $40 a month It hits two major points of live TV well sports and news For sports fans theres ESPN CBS NBC Fox Sports and TNT To keep up on the news you get CNN Fox News and most others youd want

Amazon Fire TV
More portable than previous version
o Hangs on HDMI port on TV
- May be clumsy with wall mounted TVs
- Must be plugged to 120 v power source
Includes connection with Alexa
Favors Amazon sites
Supports HDR 10 and Dolby Atmos
Apple 4K TV
Best for those with other Apple products
Supports 4K HDR and Dolby Vision formats from most streamers
Movies are less expensive to rent or buy
Existing iTunes libraries get upgraded to 4K HDR for free
Amazon will soon be available
If 4K is not important there are less expensive Apple TV options
Chromecast Ultra
Small and inexpensive 4K HDR streamer
Requires another device with the Google Home app
o Works with iPhonereg iPadreg Android devices Macreg Windowsreg and Chromebooks
Google Home acts as a remote but with limited streaming channels
Attaches to HDMI port on TV
Supports Dolby Vision
4K Smart TVs can do much of what a Chromecast does
SoWhich is right for me
Little difference between Roku and Fire TV
If you are an Amazon user with an Echo Fire TV probably makes the most sense
If you are an Apple user Apple 4K would work well even though it is more expensive
For everyone else the Roku Streaming Stick is probably the best choice
o Ability to use one remote can be important
o If 4K is not necessary a model is available for $4999 or less

May 2017 The new package of over 50 channels is built on deals with the four big broadcast networks ABC Fox NBC and crucially CBS which has been absent from some early streaming-TV packages So you get all of those plus the cable channels they own One caveat is that local affiliate stations arent available in some markets because of complicated rights deals so thats something you should check on
Generally the package has an impressive breadth of content for $40 a month It hits two major points of live TV well sports and news For sports fans theres ESPN CBS NBC Fox Sports and TNT To keep up on the news you get CNN Fox News and most others youd want

Amazon Fire TV
More portable than previous version
o Hangs on HDMI port on TV
- May be clumsy with wall mounted TVs
- Must be plugged to 120 v power source
Includes connection with Alexa
Favors Amazon sites
Supports HDR 10 and Dolby Atmos
Apple 4K TV
Best for those with other Apple products
Supports 4K HDR and Dolby Vision formats from most streamers
Movies are less expensive to rent or buy
Existing iTunes libraries get upgraded to 4K HDR for free
Amazon will soon be available
If 4K is not important there are less expensive Apple TV options
Chromecast Ultra
Small and inexpensive 4K HDR streamer
Requires another device with the Google Home app
o Works with iPhonereg iPadreg Android devices Macreg Windowsreg and Chromebooks
Google Home acts as a remote but with limited streaming channels
Attaches to HDMI port on TV
Supports Dolby Vision
4K Smart TVs can do much of what a Chromecast does
SoWhich is right for me
Little difference between Roku and Fire TV
If you are an Amazon user with an Echo Fire TV probably makes the most sense
If you are an Apple user Apple 4K would work well even though it is more expensive
For everyone else the Roku Streaming Stick is probably the best choice
o Ability to use one remote can be important
o If 4K is not necessary a model is available for $4999 or less

May 2017 The new package of over 50 channels is built on deals with the four big broadcast networks ABC Fox NBC and crucially CBS which has been absent from some early streaming-TV packages So you get all of those plus the cable channels they own One caveat is that local affiliate stations arent available in some markets because of complicated rights deals so thats something you should check on
Generally the package has an impressive breadth of content for $40 a month It hits two major points of live TV well sports and news For sports fans theres ESPN CBS NBC Fox Sports and TNT To keep up on the news you get CNN Fox News and most others youd want

Amazon Fire TV
More portable than previous version
o Hangs on HDMI port on TV
- May be clumsy with wall mounted TVs
- Must be plugged to 120 v power source
Includes connection with Alexa
Favors Amazon sites
Supports HDR 10 and Dolby Atmos
Apple 4K TV
Best for those with other Apple products
Supports 4K HDR and Dolby Vision formats from most streamers
Movies are less expensive to rent or buy
Existing iTunes libraries get upgraded to 4K HDR for free
Amazon will soon be available
If 4K is not important there are less expensive Apple TV options
Chromecast Ultra
Small and inexpensive 4K HDR streamer
Requires another device with the Google Home app
o Works with iPhonereg iPadreg Android devices Macreg Windowsreg and Chromebooks
Google Home acts as a remote but with limited streaming channels
Attaches to HDMI port on TV
Supports Dolby Vision
4K Smart TVs can do much of what a Chromecast does
SoWhich is right for me
Little difference between Roku and Fire TV
If you are an Amazon user with an Echo Fire TV probably makes the most sense
If you are an Apple user Apple 4K would work well even though it is more expensive
For everyone else the Roku Streaming Stick is probably the best choice
o Ability to use one remote can be important
o If 4K is not necessary a model is available for $4999 or less

May 2017 The new package of over 50 channels is built on deals with the four big broadcast networks ABC Fox NBC and crucially CBS which has been absent from some early streaming-TV packages So you get all of those plus the cable channels they own One caveat is that local affiliate stations arent available in some markets because of complicated rights deals so thats something you should check on
Generally the package has an impressive breadth of content for $40 a month It hits two major points of live TV well sports and news For sports fans theres ESPN CBS NBC Fox Sports and TNT To keep up on the news you get CNN Fox News and most others youd want

Amazon Fire TV

o Hangs on HDMI port on TV
- May be clumsy with wall mounted TVs
- Must be plugged to 120 v power source
Includes connection with Alexa
Favors Amazon sites
Supports HDR 10 and Dolby Atmos
Apple 4K TV
Best for those with other Apple products
Supports 4K HDR and Dolby Vision formats from most streamers
Movies are less expensive to rent or buy
Existing iTunes libraries get upgraded to 4K HDR for free
Amazon will soon be available
If 4K is not important there are less expensive Apple TV options
Chromecast Ultra
Small and inexpensive 4K HDR streamer
Requires another device with the Google Home app
o Works with iPhonereg iPadreg Android devices Macreg Windowsreg and Chromebooks
Google Home acts as a remote but with limited streaming channels
Attaches to HDMI port on TV
Supports Dolby Vision
4K Smart TVs can do much of what a Chromecast does
SoWhich is right for me
Little difference between Roku and Fire TV
If you are an Amazon user with an Echo Fire TV probably makes the most sense
If you are an Apple user Apple 4K would work well even though it is more expensive
For everyone else the Roku Streaming Stick is probably the best choice
o Ability to use one remote can be important
o If 4K is not necessary a model is available for $4999 or less

May 2017 The new package of over 50 channels is built on deals with the four big broadcast networks ABC Fox NBC and crucially CBS which has been absent from some early streaming-TV packages So you get all of those plus the cable channels they own One caveat is that local affiliate stations arent available in some markets because of complicated rights deals so thats something you should check on
Generally the package has an impressive breadth of content for $40 a month It hits two major points of live TV well sports and news For sports fans theres ESPN CBS NBC Fox Sports and TNT To keep up on the news you get CNN Fox News and most others youd want

4K UHD HDR Smart LED TV
- 55 Class (546 Diag)
4K refers to the number of
pixels across the screen
4K is not yet available OTA
(perhaps 2019)
4K TV will upconvert 1080p
and other signals

Voice command available in more expensive models but not yet well developed
Streaming sticksUltra control TV onoff and volume eliminating need for TV remote
Supports HDR 10
Amazon Fire TV
More portable than previous version
o Hangs on HDMI port on TV
- May be clumsy with wall mounted TVs
- Must be plugged to 120 v power source
Includes connection with Alexa
Favors Amazon sites
Supports HDR 10 and Dolby Atmos
Apple 4K TV
Best for those with other Apple products
Supports 4K HDR and Dolby Vision formats from most streamers
Movies are less expensive to rent or buy
Existing iTunes libraries get upgraded to 4K HDR for free
Amazon will soon be available
If 4K is not important there are less expensive Apple TV options
Chromecast Ultra
Small and inexpensive 4K HDR streamer
Requires another device with the Google Home app
o Works with iPhonereg iPadreg Android devices Macreg Windowsreg and Chromebooks
Google Home acts as a remote but with limited streaming channels
Attaches to HDMI port on TV
Supports Dolby Vision
4K Smart TVs can do much of what a Chromecast does
SoWhich is right for me
Little difference between Roku and Fire TV
If you are an Amazon user with an Echo Fire TV probably makes the most sense
If you are an Apple user Apple 4K would work well even though it is more expensive
For everyone else the Roku Streaming Stick is probably the best choice
o Ability to use one remote can be important
o If 4K is not necessary a model is available for $4999 or less

May 2017 The new package of over 50 channels is built on deals with the four big broadcast networks ABC Fox NBC and crucially CBS which has been absent from some early streaming-TV packages So you get all of those plus the cable channels they own One caveat is that local affiliate stations arent available in some markets because of complicated rights deals so thats something you should check on
Generally the package has an impressive breadth of content for $40 a month It hits two major points of live TV well sports and news For sports fans theres ESPN CBS NBC Fox Sports and TNT To keep up on the news you get CNN Fox News and most others youd want

4K Smart TVs can do much of what a Chromecast does
SoWhich is right for me
Little difference between Roku and Fire TV
If you are an Amazon user with an Echo Fire TV probably makes the most sense
If you are an Apple user Apple 4K would work well even though it is more expensive
For everyone else the Roku Streaming Stick is probably the best choice
o Ability to use one remote can be important
o If 4K is not necessary a model is available for $4999 or less

Simply put think of Amazon Channels as a hub to access other streaming services

Amazon Channels is part of the broader Amazon Video service Amazon Video is the catch-all for Amazons many video-streaming and purchase services Amazon Channels is part of Amazon Video allowing you to access content and stream it all through the Amazon Video interface

Amazon Fire TV
More portable than previous version
o Hangs on HDMI port on TV
- May be clumsy with wall mounted TVs
- Must be plugged to 120 v power source
Includes connection with Alexa
Favors Amazon sites
Supports HDR 10 and Dolby Atmos
Apple 4K TV
Best for those with other Apple products
Supports 4K HDR and Dolby Vision formats from most streamers
Movies are less expensive to rent or buy
Existing iTunes libraries get upgraded to 4K HDR for free
Amazon will soon be available
If 4K is not important there are less expensive Apple TV options
Chromecast Ultra
Small and inexpensive 4K HDR streamer
Requires another device with the Google Home app
o Works with iPhonereg iPadreg Android devices Macreg Windowsreg and Chromebooks
Google Home acts as a remote but with limited streaming channels
Attaches to HDMI port on TV
Supports Dolby Vision
4K Smart TVs can do much of what a Chromecast does
SoWhich is right for me
Little difference between Roku and Fire TV
If you are an Amazon user with an Echo Fire TV probably makes the most sense
If you are an Apple user Apple 4K would work well even though it is more expensive
For everyone else the Roku Streaming Stick is probably the best choice
o Ability to use one remote can be important
o If 4K is not necessary a model is available for $4999 or less

May 2017 The new package of over 50 channels is built on deals with the four big broadcast networks ABC Fox NBC and crucially CBS which has been absent from some early streaming-TV packages So you get all of those plus the cable channels they own One caveat is that local affiliate stations arent available in some markets because of complicated rights deals so thats something you should check on
Generally the package has an impressive breadth of content for $40 a month It hits two major points of live TV well sports and news For sports fans theres ESPN CBS NBC Fox Sports and TNT To keep up on the news you get CNN Fox News and most others youd want

Amazon Fire TV
More portable than previous version
o Hangs on HDMI port on TV
- May be clumsy with wall mounted TVs
- Must be plugged to 120 v power source
Includes connection with Alexa
Favors Amazon sites
Supports HDR 10 and Dolby Atmos
Apple 4K TV
Best for those with other Apple products
Supports 4K HDR and Dolby Vision formats from most streamers
Movies are less expensive to rent or buy
Existing iTunes libraries get upgraded to 4K HDR for free
Amazon will soon be available
If 4K is not important there are less expensive Apple TV options
Chromecast Ultra
Small and inexpensive 4K HDR streamer
Requires another device with the Google Home app
o Works with iPhonereg iPadreg Android devices Macreg Windowsreg and Chromebooks
Google Home acts as a remote but with limited streaming channels
Attaches to HDMI port on TV
Supports Dolby Vision
4K Smart TVs can do much of what a Chromecast does
SoWhich is right for me
Little difference between Roku and Fire TV
If you are an Amazon user with an Echo Fire TV probably makes the most sense
If you are an Apple user Apple 4K would work well even though it is more expensive
For everyone else the Roku Streaming Stick is probably the best choice
o Ability to use one remote can be important
o If 4K is not necessary a model is available for $4999 or less

May 2017 The new package of over 50 channels is built on deals with the four big broadcast networks ABC Fox NBC and crucially CBS which has been absent from some early streaming-TV packages So you get all of those plus the cable channels they own One caveat is that local affiliate stations arent available in some markets because of complicated rights deals so thats something you should check on
Generally the package has an impressive breadth of content for $40 a month It hits two major points of live TV well sports and news For sports fans theres ESPN CBS NBC Fox Sports and TNT To keep up on the news you get CNN Fox News and most others youd want

Supports HDR 10
Amazon Fire TV
More portable than previous version
o Hangs on HDMI port on TV
- May be clumsy with wall mounted TVs
- Must be plugged to 120 v power source
Includes connection with Alexa
Favors Amazon sites
Supports HDR 10 and Dolby Atmos
Apple 4K TV
Best for those with other Apple products
Supports 4K HDR and Dolby Vision formats from most streamers
Movies are less expensive to rent or buy
Existing iTunes libraries get upgraded to 4K HDR for free
Amazon will soon be available
If 4K is not important there are less expensive Apple TV options
Chromecast Ultra
Small and inexpensive 4K HDR streamer
Requires another device with the Google Home app
o Works with iPhonereg iPadreg Android devices Macreg Windowsreg and Chromebooks
Google Home acts as a remote but with limited streaming channels
Attaches to HDMI port on TV
Supports Dolby Vision
4K Smart TVs can do much of what a Chromecast does
SoWhich is right for me
Little difference between Roku and Fire TV
If you are an Amazon user with an Echo Fire TV probably makes the most sense
If you are an Apple user Apple 4K would work well even though it is more expensive
For everyone else the Roku Streaming Stick is probably the best choice
o Ability to use one remote can be important
o If 4K is not necessary a model is available for $4999 or less

May 2017 The new package of over 50 channels is built on deals with the four big broadcast networks ABC Fox NBC and crucially CBS which has been absent from some early streaming-TV packages So you get all of those plus the cable channels they own One caveat is that local affiliate stations arent available in some markets because of complicated rights deals so thats something you should check on
Generally the package has an impressive breadth of content for $40 a month It hits two major points of live TV well sports and news For sports fans theres ESPN CBS NBC Fox Sports and TNT To keep up on the news you get CNN Fox News and most others youd want

Amazon Fire TV
More portable than previous version
o Hangs on HDMI port on TV
- May be clumsy with wall mounted TVs
- Must be plugged to 120 v power source
Includes connection with Alexa
Favors Amazon sites
Supports HDR 10 and Dolby Atmos
Apple 4K TV
Best for those with other Apple products
Supports 4K HDR and Dolby Vision formats from most streamers
Movies are less expensive to rent or buy
Existing iTunes libraries get upgraded to 4K HDR for free
Amazon will soon be available
If 4K is not important there are less expensive Apple TV options
Chromecast Ultra
Small and inexpensive 4K HDR streamer
Requires another device with the Google Home app
o Works with iPhonereg iPadreg Android devices Macreg Windowsreg and Chromebooks
Google Home acts as a remote but with limited streaming channels
Attaches to HDMI port on TV
Supports Dolby Vision
4K Smart TVs can do much of what a Chromecast does
SoWhich is right for me
Little difference between Roku and Fire TV
If you are an Amazon user with an Echo Fire TV probably makes the most sense
If you are an Apple user Apple 4K would work well even though it is more expensive
For everyone else the Roku Streaming Stick is probably the best choice
o Ability to use one remote can be important
o If 4K is not necessary a model is available for $4999 or less

May 2017 The new package of over 50 channels is built on deals with the four big broadcast networks ABC Fox NBC and crucially CBS which has been absent from some early streaming-TV packages So you get all of those plus the cable channels they own One caveat is that local affiliate stations arent available in some markets because of complicated rights deals so thats something you should check on
Generally the package has an impressive breadth of content for $40 a month It hits two major points of live TV well sports and news For sports fans theres ESPN CBS NBC Fox Sports and TNT To keep up on the news you get CNN Fox News and most others youd want

Supports HDR 10
Amazon Fire TV
More portable than previous version
o Hangs on HDMI port on TV
- May be clumsy with wall mounted TVs
- Must be plugged to 120 v power source
Includes connection with Alexa
Favors Amazon sites
Supports HDR 10 and Dolby Atmos
Apple 4K TV
Best for those with other Apple products
Supports 4K HDR and Dolby Vision formats from most streamers
Movies are less expensive to rent or buy
Existing iTunes libraries get upgraded to 4K HDR for free
Amazon will soon be available
If 4K is not important there are less expensive Apple TV options
Chromecast Ultra
Small and inexpensive 4K HDR streamer
Requires another device with the Google Home app
o Works with iPhonereg iPadreg Android devices Macreg Windowsreg and Chromebooks
Google Home acts as a remote but with limited streaming channels
Attaches to HDMI port on TV
Supports Dolby Vision
4K Smart TVs can do much of what a Chromecast does
SoWhich is right for me
Little difference between Roku and Fire TV
If you are an Amazon user with an Echo Fire TV probably makes the most sense
If you are an Apple user Apple 4K would work well even though it is more expensive
For everyone else the Roku Streaming Stick is probably the best choice
o Ability to use one remote can be important
o If 4K is not necessary a model is available for $4999 or less

May 2017 The new package of over 50 channels is built on deals with the four big broadcast networks ABC Fox NBC and crucially CBS which has been absent from some early streaming-TV packages So you get all of those plus the cable channels they own One caveat is that local affiliate stations arent available in some markets because of complicated rights deals so thats something you should check on
Generally the package has an impressive breadth of content for $40 a month It hits two major points of live TV well sports and news For sports fans theres ESPN CBS NBC Fox Sports and TNT To keep up on the news you get CNN Fox News and most others youd want

Supports HDR 10
Amazon Fire TV
More portable than previous version
o Hangs on HDMI port on TV
- May be clumsy with wall mounted TVs
- Must be plugged to 120 v power source
Includes connection with Alexa
Favors Amazon sites
Supports HDR 10 and Dolby Atmos
Apple 4K TV
Best for those with other Apple products
Supports 4K HDR and Dolby Vision formats from most streamers
Movies are less expensive to rent or buy
Existing iTunes libraries get upgraded to 4K HDR for free
Amazon will soon be available
If 4K is not important there are less expensive Apple TV options
Chromecast Ultra
Small and inexpensive 4K HDR streamer
Requires another device with the Google Home app
o Works with iPhonereg iPadreg Android devices Macreg Windowsreg and Chromebooks
Google Home acts as a remote but with limited streaming channels
Attaches to HDMI port on TV
Supports Dolby Vision
4K Smart TVs can do much of what a Chromecast does
SoWhich is right for me
Little difference between Roku and Fire TV
If you are an Amazon user with an Echo Fire TV probably makes the most sense
If you are an Apple user Apple 4K would work well even though it is more expensive
For everyone else the Roku Streaming Stick is probably the best choice
o Ability to use one remote can be important
o If 4K is not necessary a model is available for $4999 or less

May 2017 The new package of over 50 channels is built on deals with the four big broadcast networks ABC Fox NBC and crucially CBS which has been absent from some early streaming-TV packages So you get all of those plus the cable channels they own One caveat is that local affiliate stations arent available in some markets because of complicated rights deals so thats something you should check on
Generally the package has an impressive breadth of content for $40 a month It hits two major points of live TV well sports and news For sports fans theres ESPN CBS NBC Fox Sports and TNT To keep up on the news you get CNN Fox News and most others youd want

Amazon Fire TV
More portable than previous version
o Hangs on HDMI port on TV
- May be clumsy with wall mounted TVs
- Must be plugged to 120 v power source
Includes connection with Alexa
Favors Amazon sites
Supports HDR 10 and Dolby Atmos
Apple 4K TV
Best for those with other Apple products
Supports 4K HDR and Dolby Vision formats from most streamers
Movies are less expensive to rent or buy
Existing iTunes libraries get upgraded to 4K HDR for free
Amazon will soon be available
If 4K is not important there are less expensive Apple TV options
Chromecast Ultra
Small and inexpensive 4K HDR streamer
Requires another device with the Google Home app
o Works with iPhonereg iPadreg Android devices Macreg Windowsreg and Chromebooks
Google Home acts as a remote but with limited streaming channels
Attaches to HDMI port on TV
Supports Dolby Vision
4K Smart TVs can do much of what a Chromecast does
SoWhich is right for me
Little difference between Roku and Fire TV
If you are an Amazon user with an Echo Fire TV probably makes the most sense
If you are an Apple user Apple 4K would work well even though it is more expensive
For everyone else the Roku Streaming Stick is probably the best choice
o Ability to use one remote can be important
o If 4K is not necessary a model is available for $4999 or less

May 2017 The new package of over 50 channels is built on deals with the four big broadcast networks ABC Fox NBC and crucially CBS which has been absent from some early streaming-TV packages So you get all of those plus the cable channels they own One caveat is that local affiliate stations arent available in some markets because of complicated rights deals so thats something you should check on
Generally the package has an impressive breadth of content for $40 a month It hits two major points of live TV well sports and news For sports fans theres ESPN CBS NBC Fox Sports and TNT To keep up on the news you get CNN Fox News and most others youd want

Amazon Fire TV
More portable than previous version
o Hangs on HDMI port on TV
- May be clumsy with wall mounted TVs
- Must be plugged to 120 v power source
Includes connection with Alexa
Favors Amazon sites
Supports HDR 10 and Dolby Atmos
Apple 4K TV
Best for those with other Apple products
Supports 4K HDR and Dolby Vision formats from most streamers
Movies are less expensive to rent or buy
Existing iTunes libraries get upgraded to 4K HDR for free
Amazon will soon be available
If 4K is not important there are less expensive Apple TV options
Chromecast Ultra
Small and inexpensive 4K HDR streamer
Requires another device with the Google Home app
o Works with iPhonereg iPadreg Android devices Macreg Windowsreg and Chromebooks
Google Home acts as a remote but with limited streaming channels
Attaches to HDMI port on TV
Supports Dolby Vision
4K Smart TVs can do much of what a Chromecast does
SoWhich is right for me
Little difference between Roku and Fire TV
If you are an Amazon user with an Echo Fire TV probably makes the most sense
If you are an Apple user Apple 4K would work well even though it is more expensive
For everyone else the Roku Streaming Stick is probably the best choice
o Ability to use one remote can be important
o If 4K is not necessary a model is available for $4999 or less

May 2017 The new package of over 50 channels is built on deals with the four big broadcast networks ABC Fox NBC and crucially CBS which has been absent from some early streaming-TV packages So you get all of those plus the cable channels they own One caveat is that local affiliate stations arent available in some markets because of complicated rights deals so thats something you should check on
Generally the package has an impressive breadth of content for $40 a month It hits two major points of live TV well sports and news For sports fans theres ESPN CBS NBC Fox Sports and TNT To keep up on the news you get CNN Fox News and most others youd want

May 2017 The new package of over 50 channels is built on deals with the four big broadcast networks ABC Fox NBC and crucially CBS which has been absent from some early streaming-TV packages So you get all of those plus the cable channels they own One caveat is that local affiliate stations arent available in some markets because of complicated rights deals so thats something you should check on
Generally the package has an impressive breadth of content for $40 a month It hits two major points of live TV well sports and news For sports fans theres ESPN CBS NBC Fox Sports and TNT To keep up on the news you get CNN Fox News and most others youd want

Amazon Fire TV
More portable than previous version
o Hangs on HDMI port on TV
- May be clumsy with wall mounted TVs
- Must be plugged to 120 v power source
Includes connection with Alexa
Favors Amazon sites
Supports HDR 10 and Dolby Atmos
Apple 4K TV
Best for those with other Apple products
Supports 4K HDR and Dolby Vision formats from most streamers
Movies are less expensive to rent or buy
Existing iTunes libraries get upgraded to 4K HDR for free
Amazon will soon be available
If 4K is not important there are less expensive Apple TV options
Chromecast Ultra
Small and inexpensive 4K HDR streamer
Requires another device with the Google Home app
o Works with iPhonereg iPadreg Android devices Macreg Windowsreg and Chromebooks
Google Home acts as a remote but with limited streaming channels
Attaches to HDMI port on TV
Supports Dolby Vision
4K Smart TVs can do much of what a Chromecast does
SoWhich is right for me
Little difference between Roku and Fire TV
If you are an Amazon user with an Echo Fire TV probably makes the most sense
If you are an Apple user Apple 4K would work well even though it is more expensive
For everyone else the Roku Streaming Stick is probably the best choice
o Ability to use one remote can be important
o If 4K is not necessary a model is available for $4999 or less

Apple 4K TV
Best for those with other Apple products
Supports 4K HDR and Dolby Vision formats from most streamers
Movies are less expensive to rent or buy
Existing iTunes libraries get upgraded to 4K HDR for free
Amazon will soon be available
If 4K is not important there are less expensive Apple TV options
Chromecast Ultra
Small and inexpensive 4K HDR streamer
Requires another device with the Google Home app
o Works with iPhonereg iPadreg Android devices Macreg Windowsreg and Chromebooks
Google Home acts as a remote but with limited streaming channels
Attaches to HDMI port on TV
Supports Dolby Vision
4K Smart TVs can do much of what a Chromecast does
SoWhich is right for me
Little difference between Roku and Fire TV
If you are an Amazon user with an Echo Fire TV probably makes the most sense
If you are an Apple user Apple 4K would work well even though it is more expensive
For everyone else the Roku Streaming Stick is probably the best choice
o Ability to use one remote can be important
o If 4K is not necessary a model is available for $4999 or less

May 2017 The new package of over 50 channels is built on deals with the four big broadcast networks ABC Fox NBC and crucially CBS which has been absent from some early streaming-TV packages So you get all of those plus the cable channels they own One caveat is that local affiliate stations arent available in some markets because of complicated rights deals so thats something you should check on
Generally the package has an impressive breadth of content for $40 a month It hits two major points of live TV well sports and news For sports fans theres ESPN CBS NBC Fox Sports and TNT To keep up on the news you get CNN Fox News and most others youd want

4K UHD HDR Smart LED TV
- 55 Class (546 Diag)
4K refers to the number of
pixels across the screen
4K is not yet available OTA
(perhaps 2019)
4K TV will upconvert 1080p
and other signals
Streaming systems are
supporting 4K (Netflix

Roku Ultra $9999
Voice command available in more expensive models but not yet well developed
Streaming sticksUltra control TV onoff and volume eliminating need for TV remote
Supports HDR 10
Amazon Fire TV
More portable than previous version
o Hangs on HDMI port on TV
- May be clumsy with wall mounted TVs
- Must be plugged to 120 v power source
Includes connection with Alexa
Favors Amazon sites
Supports HDR 10 and Dolby Atmos
Apple 4K TV
Best for those with other Apple products
Supports 4K HDR and Dolby Vision formats from most streamers
Movies are less expensive to rent or buy
Existing iTunes libraries get upgraded to 4K HDR for free
Amazon will soon be available
If 4K is not important there are less expensive Apple TV options
Chromecast Ultra
Small and inexpensive 4K HDR streamer
Requires another device with the Google Home app
o Works with iPhonereg iPadreg Android devices Macreg Windowsreg and Chromebooks
Google Home acts as a remote but with limited streaming channels
Attaches to HDMI port on TV
Supports Dolby Vision
4K Smart TVs can do much of what a Chromecast does
SoWhich is right for me
Little difference between Roku and Fire TV
If you are an Amazon user with an Echo Fire TV probably makes the most sense
If you are an Apple user Apple 4K would work well even though it is more expensive
For everyone else the Roku Streaming Stick is probably the best choice
o Ability to use one remote can be important
o If 4K is not necessary a model is available for $4999 or less

Supports HDR 10
Amazon Fire TV
More portable than previous version
o Hangs on HDMI port on TV
- May be clumsy with wall mounted TVs
- Must be plugged to 120 v power source
Includes connection with Alexa
Favors Amazon sites
Supports HDR 10 and Dolby Atmos
Apple 4K TV
Best for those with other Apple products
Supports 4K HDR and Dolby Vision formats from most streamers
Movies are less expensive to rent or buy
Existing iTunes libraries get upgraded to 4K HDR for free
Amazon will soon be available
If 4K is not important there are less expensive Apple TV options
Chromecast Ultra
Small and inexpensive 4K HDR streamer
Requires another device with the Google Home app
o Works with iPhonereg iPadreg Android devices Macreg Windowsreg and Chromebooks
Google Home acts as a remote but with limited streaming channels
Attaches to HDMI port on TV
Supports Dolby Vision
4K Smart TVs can do much of what a Chromecast does
SoWhich is right for me
Little difference between Roku and Fire TV
If you are an Amazon user with an Echo Fire TV probably makes the most sense
If you are an Apple user Apple 4K would work well even though it is more expensive
For everyone else the Roku Streaming Stick is probably the best choice
o Ability to use one remote can be important
o If 4K is not necessary a model is available for $4999 or less

TVCUCAmazon ChannelsAmazon Channels is a collection of streaming content services that you can subscribe to through the e-retailers offering So theres no single Amazon Channels interface where youll watch all the content you want like Netflix and Hulu Instead Amazon Channels is a place where you can subscribe to the content you want and watch it through Amazon Video on any number of devices Amazon handles all payment processing to the channels you subscribe to
Simply put think of Amazon Channels as a hub to access other streaming services
Is This Different Than Amazon Video
Amazon Channels is part of the broader Amazon Video service Amazon Video is the catch-all for Amazons many video-streaming and purchase services Amazon Channels is part of Amazon Video allowing you to access content and stream it all through the Amazon Video interface

Voice command available in more expensive models but not yet well developed
Streaming sticksUltra control TV onoff and volume eliminating need for TV remote
Supports HDR 10
Amazon Fire TV
More portable than previous version
o Hangs on HDMI port on TV
- May be clumsy with wall mounted TVs
- Must be plugged to 120 v power source
Includes connection with Alexa
Favors Amazon sites
Supports HDR 10 and Dolby Atmos
Apple 4K TV
Best for those with other Apple products
Supports 4K HDR and Dolby Vision formats from most streamers
Movies are less expensive to rent or buy
Existing iTunes libraries get upgraded to 4K HDR for free
Amazon will soon be available
If 4K is not important there are less expensive Apple TV options
Chromecast Ultra
Small and inexpensive 4K HDR streamer
Requires another device with the Google Home app
o Works with iPhonereg iPadreg Android devices Macreg Windowsreg and Chromebooks
Google Home acts as a remote but with limited streaming channels
Attaches to HDMI port on TV
Supports Dolby Vision
4K Smart TVs can do much of what a Chromecast does
SoWhich is right for me
Little difference between Roku and Fire TV
If you are an Amazon user with an Echo Fire TV probably makes the most sense
If you are an Apple user Apple 4K would work well even though it is more expensive
For everyone else the Roku Streaming Stick is probably the best choice
o Ability to use one remote can be important
o If 4K is not necessary a model is available for $4999 or less

May 2017 The new package of over 50 channels is built on deals with the four big broadcast networks ABC Fox NBC and crucially CBS which has been absent from some early streaming-TV packages So you get all of those plus the cable channels they own One caveat is that local affiliate stations arent available in some markets because of complicated rights deals so thats something you should check on
Generally the package has an impressive breadth of content for $40 a month It hits two major points of live TV well sports and news For sports fans theres ESPN CBS NBC Fox Sports and TNT To keep up on the news you get CNN Fox News and most others youd want

For everyone else the Roku Streaming Stick is probably the best choice
o Ability to use one remote can be important
o If 4K is not necessary a model is available for $4999 or less

Questions
Wireless Routers
With more data streaming a new router may be needed
What to considero Features
- Wireless protocol 80211n (600 Mbps) or 80211ac (1300 Mbps)
- Dual band 24 and 50 Ghz
- Cost between $100 to $250
o Proximity of router to devices
- May need extender
If possible purchase same brand as router
Cost $30 to $300
- May need Mesh System
4500 to 6000 sq ft
Very expensive - $280 to $500

Plugs directly into HDMI port on TV
Can use power from USB port or from 115 volt source with adapter
Newly released options
Roku Express $2999
Roku Express + $3999
Roku Streaming Stick $4999
Roku Streaming Stick + (for 4K) 6999
Roku Ultra $9999
Voice command available in more expensive models but not yet well developed
Streaming sticksUltra control TV onoff and volume eliminating need for TV remote
Supports HDR 10
Amazon Fire TV
More portable than previous version
o Hangs on HDMI port on TV
- May be clumsy with wall mounted TVs
- Must be plugged to 120 v power source
Includes connection with Alexa
Favors Amazon sites
Supports HDR 10 and Dolby Atmos
Apple 4K TV
Best for those with other Apple products
Supports 4K HDR and Dolby Vision formats from most streamers
Movies are less expensive to rent or buy
Existing iTunes libraries get upgraded to 4K HDR for free
Amazon will soon be available
If 4K is not important there are less expensive Apple TV options
Chromecast Ultra
Small and inexpensive 4K HDR streamer
Requires another device with the Google Home app
o Works with iPhonereg iPadreg Android devices Macreg Windowsreg and Chromebooks
Google Home acts as a remote but with limited streaming channels
Attaches to HDMI port on TV
Supports Dolby Vision
4K Smart TVs can do much of what a Chromecast does
SoWhich is right for me
Little difference between Roku and Fire TV
If you are an Amazon user with an Echo Fire TV probably makes the most sense
If you are an Apple user Apple 4K would work well even though it is more expensive
For everyone else the Roku Streaming Stick is probably the best choice
o Ability to use one remote can be important
o If 4K is not necessary a model is available for $4999 or less

Supports HDR 10
Amazon Fire TV
More portable than previous version
o Hangs on HDMI port on TV
- May be clumsy with wall mounted TVs
- Must be plugged to 120 v power source
Includes connection with Alexa
Favors Amazon sites
Supports HDR 10 and Dolby Atmos
Apple 4K TV
Best for those with other Apple products
Supports 4K HDR and Dolby Vision formats from most streamers
Movies are less expensive to rent or buy
Existing iTunes libraries get upgraded to 4K HDR for free
Amazon will soon be available
If 4K is not important there are less expensive Apple TV options
Chromecast Ultra
Small and inexpensive 4K HDR streamer
Requires another device with the Google Home app
o Works with iPhonereg iPadreg Android devices Macreg Windowsreg and Chromebooks
Google Home acts as a remote but with limited streaming channels
Attaches to HDMI port on TV
Supports Dolby Vision
4K Smart TVs can do much of what a Chromecast does
SoWhich is right for me
Little difference between Roku and Fire TV
If you are an Amazon user with an Echo Fire TV probably makes the most sense
If you are an Apple user Apple 4K would work well even though it is more expensive
For everyone else the Roku Streaming Stick is probably the best choice
o Ability to use one remote can be important
o If 4K is not necessary a model is available for $4999 or less

May 2017 The new package of over 50 channels is built on deals with the four big broadcast networks ABC Fox NBC and crucially CBS which has been absent from some early streaming-TV packages So you get all of those plus the cable channels they own One caveat is that local affiliate stations arent available in some markets because of complicated rights deals so thats something you should check on
Generally the package has an impressive breadth of content for $40 a month It hits two major points of live TV well sports and news For sports fans theres ESPN CBS NBC Fox Sports and TNT To keep up on the news you get CNN Fox News and most others youd want

SoWhich is right for me
Little difference between Roku and Fire TV
If you are an Amazon user with an Echo Fire TV probably makes the most sense
If you are an Apple user Apple 4K would work well even though it is more expensive
For everyone else the Roku Streaming Stick is probably the best choice
o Ability to use one remote can be important
o If 4K is not necessary a model is available for $4999 or less

Questions
Apple 4K TV
Best for those with other Apple products
Supports 4K HDR and Dolby Vision formats from most streamers
Movies are less expensive to rent or buy
Existing iTunes libraries get upgraded to 4K HDR for free
Amazon will soon be available
If 4K is not important there are less expensive Apple TV options
Chromecast Ultra
Small and inexpensive 4K HDR streamer
Requires another device with the Google Home app
o Works with iPhonereg iPadreg Android devices Macreg Windowsreg and Chromebooks
Google Home acts as a remote but with limited streaming channels
Attaches to HDMI port on TV
Supports Dolby Vision
4K Smart TVs can do much of what a Chromecast does
SoWhich is right for me
Little difference between Roku and Fire TV
If you are an Amazon user with an Echo Fire TV probably makes the most sense
If you are an Apple user Apple 4K would work well even though it is more expensive
For everyone else the Roku Streaming Stick is probably the best choice
o Ability to use one remote can be important
o If 4K is not necessary a model is available for $4999 or less

Questions
SoWhich is right for me
Little difference between Roku and Fire TV
If you are an Amazon user with an Echo Fire TV probably makes the most sense
If you are an Apple user Apple 4K would work well even though it is more expensive
For everyone else the Roku Streaming Stick is probably the best choice
o Ability to use one remote can be important
o If 4K is not necessary a model is available for $4999 or less
