The Roku Premiere Streaming Media Player brings 4K and HDR to any TV with an HDMI port. It hides behind the TV, so things look neat. It comes with a good HDMI cable, so you don’t need to worry about that. The remote has buttons that anyone can use without a problem. It works with numerous apps, from major names to smaller ones, as well as many free channels. This means you can watch movies, listen to music, and catch sports all in one place.
Head over to Walmart to get the Roku Premiere Streaming Media Player for just $20, down from its usual price of $30. That’s a discount of $10 and 33% off.

A convenient way to watch all your favorite content at home
The 4K picture output makes text and subtitles appear clearer, and HDR enhances bright areas while making dark areas more detailed (if your TV supports it). The menus are fast, and apps open quickly, unlike some older smart TVs. When you search, it checks many services at once, so you don’t have to jump between apps to find what you want. The interface remains clean even when you add more channels, and it’s easy to rearrange elements.
Setting it up is easy: plug it into the TV using the HDMI cable, connect the power source, and then connect to Wi-Fi. Finally, sign in to your accounts. Guest Mode is great when friends or family are visiting, because it automatically signs them out when they leave. There are also parental controls to limit what kids can buy or watch.
The remote is simple to use. It has a directional pad, back, home, play/pause buttons, and quick buttons for popular apps. No need to talk to it or learn anything new. If you want to use voice search, the Roku mobile app offers that, along with private listening with headphones for when everyone else is asleep.
It’s also easy to take with you when you travel. The player and cable fit in a backpack and can be plugged into a TV in a hotel, dorm, or guest room. The interface remains the same regardless of your location. The mobile app helps you sign in to Wi-Fi networks that ask for room numbers or confirmations. Then, when you get home, plug it back into your living room TV.
The Roku updates automatically, picks up where you left off after being turned off, and doesn’t take up much space. If you want to upgrade an older TV or add streaming capabilities to another TV, it’s a good deal at $20, down from $30, at Walmart.
