A streaming TV subscription won’t do much good unless you have a way to watch streaming shows and movies on the big screen. Thankfully, many popular streaming TV platforms are offering deep discounts on new streaming TV hardware.
One of the most-popular streaming TV platforms is Roku, and the company has several of its popular Roku players on sale for Cyber Monday.
