Roku undercuts Chromecast price, announces cheap 4K streamer

Mike Flacy — Mon, 26 Sep 2016 17:20:00 +0000

Shifting price points downward on the company’s lineup of streaming set-top boxes, Roku is launching a $30, 1080p streaming stick called the Roku Express as well as a $80 4K streaming set-top box called the Roku Premiere. This both undercuts Google’s $35 Chromecast streaming device as well as Amazon’s $30 Fire TV streaming stick.

Interestingly, they are also going after consumers that don’t have televisions with HDMI ports yet. The Roku Express+ ($40) includes options for consumers that want to use simple A/V inputs rather than HDMI. It would be ideal for consumers that are still using televisions made more than a decade ago.

Moving up to the 4K set-top box, the Roku Premiere streaming 4K content at 60 frames per second and comes with a line-of-sight remote. For an additional $20 at a $100 price point, the Roku Premiere+ supports HDR (for a wider range of colors) and includes an wired Ethernet port as well as the “point-anywhere” remote with the headphone jack.

On the high end, Roku is launching a Roku Ultra at $130. It has everything that the Roku Premiere+ offers in addition to voice searching, a remote finder and a digital optical audio output for anyone that prefers that audio format when pushing out to a receiver. That model basically replaces the Roku 4 flagship model.

If you are looking for a 4K player for your new 4K television, you may want to wait until after October 4, 2016 when Google is expected to announce a couple of streaming player upgrades. The rumored “Chromecast Ultra” will stream 4K content to televisions for a possible price of $70, $10 cheaper than the Roku Premiere. It’s not clear if the Chromecast Ultra will also support HDR.

Amazon to offer Prime for $11 each month, just video for $9

Mike Flacy — Mon, 18 Apr 2016 17:12:50 +0000

Opening up a way to subscribe to Amazon Prime on a month-to-month basis, Amazon has launched a subscription plan option that charges customer $10.99 per month for all the benefits of Prime. Of course, this is significantly more than the yearly fee of $99 (which breaks down to $8.25 a month). If someone subscribed to Prime at the $10.99 price for an entire year, that would total up to $131.88.

In addition to the new monthly plan, Amazon is also offering a plan that will provide access to Amazon Instant Video for $8.99 per month. Very similar to Netflix in price, Amazon wants people to subscribe for original programming as well as the licenced content being streaming by the online retailer. Alternatively, Netflix charges $9.99 per month while Hulu charges $7.99 per month for access.

Of course, Amazon doesn’t have an original content library that’s as extensive as Netflix. While Netflix offers mulitple hit shows like House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, and Marvel’s Daredevil, Amazon’s library is smaller with hits like Transparent.

However, Amazon does currently have rights to stream older HBO shows like The Wire and The Sopranos as well as BBC content like Downton Abbey and Orphan Black. Interestingly, Amazon is planning to offer 4K content at the same $8.99 price point. On the flip side, Netflix charges consumers $11.99 per month for access to 4K Ultra HD video streams.

If you are curious if Amazon Prime is worth the yearly fee, check out our breakdown of the service here.
