I agree 100% with Troy, but for one big exception. This assumes you must choose one or the other. You can have both on the same TV! Roku can do the heavy lifting and easily handle 70-80 verified apps on is home page, leaving your Google device to only do 3rd party apps. Anyway that’s my preferred method. There are many ways to pair them. All my TVs have both Roku and Android.

why waste your time with so many devices that are not needed. You run a vpn on your device and your good.

This should have been a look into operating systems options on a new TV.
Here is the UK, you can add Tizen, WebOS,VIDAA,Fire tv, Titan OS and Sky OS
In general they should have all official apps for your region and are normally locked due to licensing for broadcasting content.
If you want freedom, then you need a streaming device and use VPN to access all content without region limits - this is where Android OS or Android / Google TV device is the better choice

I have both on my ONN. The nice thing about the ONN, it is so easy to add an otg cable and 32gb or more of extra memory.

I tried using a newer firestick on a newer Roku tv. Keep getting a “no signal “ error. Deleted the hdmi and reinstalled it. Unplugged and reset the tv.Tried different hdmi outputs, and hdmi cables.The firestick worked on my other older Lg tv. Would not signing into an account make a difference?
@Joe60….i have neither but a quick search on the “InterWeb” says you have to sign in to amazon ( if i’m reading it correctly 
)….
Yes, you can use an Amazon Fire Stick on a Roku TV. The Fire Stick connects to the HDMI port of the Roku TV, just like it would on any other TV. Here’s how to set it up:
-
Plug in the Fire Stick: Insert the Fire Stick into an available HDMI port on your Roku TV.
-
Power the Fire Stick: Connect the Fire Stick to a power source using the included USB cable and power adapter.
-
Switch Input: Use your Roku TV remote to switch the input to the HDMI port where the Fire Stick is connected.
-
Set Up the Fire Stick: Follow the on-screen instructions to connect the Fire Stick to your Wi-Fi network and sign in to your Amazon account.
Good Luck….
