Roku or chromcast tv sticks

Hello all. Has anyone had any experience with using the Roku or Chromcast or Amazon Fire Stick. Was thinking of purchasing one to use at home and in my rv. I would like to be able to watch baseball during the summer and football in the fall while we travel. We still work full time but spend as much time as possible in the rv. Any advice would be helpful.

    I have the same problem with my Apple TV with no Amazon Prime app. They keep saying it's coming.

    Also have a Roku and it works great.
  • I put a Chromecast in the 5er with AT&T Mobley. That way I can pull something up on my phone then cast it to the Chromecast.

    At home we have Chromecast, Amazon Firestick and our favorite, a Roku for each tv.

  • I have a chromecast I use to stream with my Android phone to watch Ntflix ,, but i think the firestick is better..
  • Roku stick here. Forgot ours from home when we left last time and bought one at a local store. We stream to it with our iPhones on an AT&T connection. Had a Chromcast but never could get it to work well.

    It seems as Roku has their act together and never had a problem with them.
  • We have a FireTVstick that we use regularly to stream Amazon Prime movies. We also use it with the Dish Anywhere app installed for streaming programming from our Dish onboard Hopper to the bedroom TV, or from the Hopper installed at our vacation cottage to watch programs we had it record while we were underway. We have two unlimited data plans, one AT&T and the other Verizon, so the data usage is not an issue or us.
  • info on how to watch football on a roku most not free roku football some of the apps require a cable or satellite subscription to sign in to them. then there is the data use problem when traveling.

    don't have one but curious as to which internet provider you could use with those devices as campground wifi would be unsuitable.
