How to Mirror iTunes Videos to TV with a Roku

Tech giants like Google, Amazon, and Apple all have their own compelling living room devices, but Roku remains most people’s favorite overall streaming platform. If you want to settle on Roku, you need to figure out the two mainstream streamers of Roku: Roku 3 and Roku Streaming Stick.

Roku 3: The best overall choice

Price: $100, £80

Release date: March of 2013

Comments: With excellent interface and speedy processor, Roku 3 is quicker and more responsive than any other streaming box. More than 1,000 channels are supported, including Netflix, Amazon Instant, Hulu Plus, MLB.TV, Amazon Cloud Player, and Youtube. All in all, Roku is the best streaming player yet, which has tons of content sources, lightning-fast performance, and an innovative remote with built-in headphone jack. But Roku 3 does not work equally well within Apple ecosystem owing to the Apple's FairPlay Protection.

Roku Streaming Stick: Value packed

Price: $50, £50

Release Date: March of 2014

Comments: The Roku Streaming Stick goes head-to-head with Google’s Chromecast. With Over 1,200 apps available, a real remote and an onscreen interface, Roku performances better than Chromecast. But compare to Roku 3, it takes a longer time to boot up YouTube. It doesn’t have the neat headphone jack feature which is available on the Roku 3. And just like Roku 3, it cannot mirror iTunes videos to TV thanks to the DRM restriction.
