Overview
Roku's 9101R is a 4K UHD streaming player that adds Roku's smart platform and app store to any TV with a free HDMI input. It also includes Bluetooth, USB, and Wi-Fi, useful for TVs that lack a built-in smart interface.
As an external player rather than a smart TV, it depends on plugging into an existing screen's HDMI port to work at all. The USB port is worth noting on a streaming player, since Roku devices commonly use it for local media playback alongside app-based streaming. Bluetooth support covers wireless accessories like headphones for private listening.

Who it's for
