If you’ve had your TV for a few years, you’re probably noticing how much it’s showing its age at the moment. The visual side of things is actually a lot smaller of an issue for a lot of us, because while the difference between 4K and 8K might be there, it’s not something that’s as big of a deal as the speed of your TV. While processing didn’t used to be an issue for televisions, with smart TVs being the norm now, those slower speeds can really start to show.

If you’re looking to fix this issue with your TV, and you don’t want to spend money on getting an entirely new TV, then your best bet is going to be going for a great streaming device. There are loads out there, but today we’ve got a deal on one of the best of the bunch. The Roku Ultra Streaming Device is normally $100, but thanks to today’s deal, it’s down to 29% instead right now. That’s an incredible deal, but we’re not expecting it to last for very long.

Streaming Made Spectacular

The Roku Ultra is an easy to device to use, because all you really need to do is plug it into your TV and you’re good to go. You’ll need to do things like find your favorite apps and login to all of them, but that’s not a huge ask most of the time. Especially as a lot of apps let you basically sign in using your phone instead of the device itself, which can save a lot of time for those of us who can never remember their passwords, or just hate typing using the controller. Not that the controller is bad though, especially as it has cool features like dedicated buttons for the big services, backlighting for ease of us in the dark, and even voice controls too.

It’s incredibly easy to use once it’s set up, and lets you flit between services in the blink of an eye to make sure you can find something great to watch quickly. You can even watch a mix of live TV channels that come with it, which can be nice if you’re not sure what you’re in the mood for. Along with that, it supports things like Dolby Vision and Atmos, and has WiFi 6 support for even faster speeds.

This is one of the best streaming devices you can buy, so being able to do so while saving yourself some money is an amazing chance. You’re not going to be able to get this while it’s down to $71 for very long, or again any time soon. So, be quick if you want it.
