Best media streaming devices to buy for your TV

In a day and age where there’s no dearth of content available, all of us are spoilt for choice with the options found on OTT platforms. However, despite the ease of availability, you might not want to watch your favourite shows on a smartphone screen, and we totally get it! Alternatively, we may still have a laptop at hand, but there’s no denying that we need a larger screen every once in a while.

But if your secondary screen is not a smart TV, you don’t have to worry; there’s always the option of switching things up with a media streaming device. We’ll walk you through the three most sought-after media streaming devices you can buy for your TV.

3 best media streaming devices for your TV

Most standalone streaming devices are affordable options if you already own a non-smart television. However, you should still ensure you check the compatibility of your device with the TV to roll any glitches out of your way. Read on to find out about the three most popular options to choose from for yourself. 

Fire TV stick: Perhaps one of the most popular devices, the Fire TV stick can be easily plugged into the HDMI port of your non-smart TV to turn it ‘smart’. However, you will need to be subscribed to the platform and have a plan in place before you do. Additionally, its remote even comes with a voice assistant to help you navigate through all your content without typing your query all the way through. 

Airtel XStream Smart stick: If you already have a smartphone with an Airtel network, having an Airtel XStream Smart stick for your TV gives you access to your favourite apps, ebooks, web series, music and more (apart from your usual OTT platforms).

You don’t have to worry about a cumbersome installation process because you can simply ‘plug-n-play’ the content of your choice on your TV. If that’s not all, you even have vibrant picture quality and contrast to make the most of your movie nights in with the squad.

Apple TV 4K: Apart from giving you access to your regular smart TV apps, having an Apple TV subscription gives you Apple Original titles to browse through. Besides, you even have the option of enjoying content in 4K resolution and immersive spatial audio. Its Siri remote gives you simplified navigation and can be operated using a simple voice command. While it is priced on the higher side, it acts as a hub for your smart devices within the ecosystem, making it quite the investment for your space. 

While non-smart TVs are gradually making their way out of the market, having media streaming devices at hand can easily connect to secondary screens and monitors. Yes, this means you can have your movie collection with you — anywhere you go! It certainly doesn’t get better than this.
