One of my favorite things to do around the holidays is host friends and family at my home for movie nights.

The Roku Ultra is one of the best streaming boxes on the market, and depending on the person, it might be a better pick than my beloved Apple TV 4K. At their core, both devices do the same thing, and they even come with some nice bonuses that you don't see on streaming sticks. What I'm talking about are the USB ports, and if you take advantage of those, you can open up a bit more functionality from your regular streaming device.

When it comes to high-end streaming boxes, you have the Google TV Streamer, the Roku Ultra, and the Apple TV 4K. Of that trio, the Apple TV 4K is my favorite of the bunch, but they all have their pros and cons. I don't own a Google TV Streamer, but I do have a Roku Ultra that I use daily just before going to sleep.

However, the TV channels on The Roku Channel, which is the largest free ad-supported streaming platform in the US, remain free. Now, Roku's massive free channel selection is becoming even larger.

If you own a smart TV, you probably know your operating system pretty well. You're comfortable with the menus. You like the remote. You know where to go to get to the content that you want. But it is something that you may not have thought about when you were buying that TV.
