I have an amazon fire stick but its rubbish now, they updated it and make it harder to do anything that isn't one of their services.

I have an Android TV Box, I don't use much but I do watch films on Netflix and Amazon via it.

Amazon Fire stick is what I have but I rarely use it, it was more of an impulse purchase because everyone kept recommending it.

Been using chromecasts for a few years now. Turns your regular tv into a smart tv, kind of....

Got 3 now so they work well for me.

I use it for Netflix and also streaming from my Plex server.

I recommend Android TV boxes, I don't own one but my Amazon Fire Stick is awful now.

They forced an upgrade which has removed things I installed and it's just awful to navigate. I haven't used a Google Chromecast myself but I am in the market for an Android box. The fact you can customise it due to it running Android and many things, it just makes sense. I aim to install games and emulators on mine when I get one and, then I will have something portable when I go places.

Useful and portable I mean.

I use Plex. Highly recommended!

Runs on one computer which stays on and streams to anything in the network, eg tv etc...

Roku devices are quite stable.

Daughter uses a fire stick to enable Plex, Netflix etc...on her old tv.

Got a fire stick and a chrome cast, mainly because our main Smart TV doesn’t have ITV hub, or All 4 (brilliant thinking LG!). Use the chrome cast on the LG and the fire stick on an old Tesco TV in the conservatory. Only have the fire stick though as I have prime.

No, I use my PS4 to stream NetFlix and other things such as YouTube.

I don't own any of them.
