If I were to get just one of them - which should I get. I don’t have an Apple TV. I think it’s way over-priced in comparison to the competition, which have pretty much the same capabilities. I have a Roku and a Fire Stick.

And why do you need both? Two TVs. The Roku Ultra is connected to the main TV in the family room. I use the bigger box it there for several reasons. ? It has a slot in the side for flash memory. I installed a 64 GB card, the number of services it can handle is just about infinite. ? It has a USB slot so I can watch a movie off a hard drive or DVD drive. ? I supports both Ethernet and WiFi. Since I have an Ethernet connection right there, I use that instead of WiFi. ? Its remote is better than the remotes on lesser Rokus. ? It supports Dolby Atmos sound to talk to my sound bar. ? It future proofs me if I want to upgrade my current box to one with 4K video. I’m in no hurry to do this. The Fire Stick is on the back of the TV in our bedroom. It only connects via WiFi and has very few bells and whistles. We rarely watch TV in the bedroom. Most of my bedroom watching is West Coast MLB in the summer.
