I have a Roku TV in the living room and then a Roku Express in the bedroom. I'm not sure which model is the plus, but I'll tell you what I don't like about the Express. The bedroom TV is not 4K, so that's why I only needed the Express, but that said, I don't like that I still have to use a separate remote in the bedroom for volume control and powering the TV on and off, and I don't like that it has to re-download a channel if I haven't used it in a few days. These are not huge inconveniences, just features I dislike. The Roku TV in the living room has one remote for everything, it has voice capabilities which is convenient when searching for a channel or show so that you don't have to type in what you are looking for. Have you checked out Roku's comparison chart to see which one meets your needs?

Maybe someone can help with my question. My DH likes The Weather Channel. If we were to cut the cable and do Roku/streaming, etc. I have no clue about this stuff. Is there a weather channel on there that's free with no additional cost? TIA

I love the ROKU Express which has some great apps BUT
(there is always a but) If I had an Amazon fire stick already I would just get another because the ROKU is a bit harder to access websites without a ROKU app. Thankfully, the Web Video Caster app on a mobile phone bridged that gap, enabling me to load videos from sites like WOW on the ROKU. Youtube has annoying ads on the ROKU. HBO MAX is not on the ROKU yet though recently added to the Amazon fire stick. Recently, I got a Chromecast for another tv which casts website videos and mobile apps really easily BUT (here we go with another but) it, too, works much better with a mobile device than a chrome browser on Windows. Some websites when casted from a nearby laptop chrome browser tab have garbled audio. I can cast the desktop to overcome that problem but using a mobile phone is so much easier.
