Devices
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K
Wide app support and easy setup — the most common starting point for Irish streaming households.
Chromecast with Google TV
Google stopped making it in 2024 (the Google TV Streamer replaced it), but it still runs all the main Irish streaming apps if you find one in stock.
Roku Streaming Stick 4K
One of the most straightforward remotes and menus of any streaming device — good pick for less tech-confident households.
AKIYO O2 Projector
A compact projector for movie nights or match days on a wall — plug a streaming stick into its HDMI port for all your usual apps.
Glow in the Dark Remote Cover Case
Glow-in-the-dark covers for the Fire TV Alexa Voice Remote (3rd gen) — easier to find in a dark room and harder to drop.
Amazon Fire TV Cube Simplified
A plain-English setup and user guide for the Fire TV Cube — handy if you're new to Alexa voice control and the Fire TV menus.
Compact Travel Router
Useful for streaming reliably on holidays or in a second home, without depending on unfamiliar hotel Wi-Fi.
Amazon Echo Dot Alexa
Amazon's small Alexa speaker — pair it with a Fire TV to change channels, search and control playback by voice.
Google TV Streamer
Google's current streaming box, replacing the Chromecast with Google TV — 4K HDR, Dolby Vision, 32GB storage, casting and an Ethernet port.
Installation Guides
High-Speed HDMI 2.1 Cable
Worth having a spare on hand — older bundled cables often bottleneck 4K/HDR playback.
Adjustable TV Wall Mount
Tilting/swivel mounts make it much easier to angle the screen for glare-free streaming, especially in bright rooms.
Mesh Wi-Fi System (2-pack)
A bigger upgrade than a single extender, but the most reliable fix for houses where streaming boxes are far from the router.
HDMI Extender Adapter
Useful when a streaming stick sits too close to a wall or cabinet and needs a bit of clearance for good Wi-Fi reception.
Cable Management Clips
Keeps HDMI and power cables tidy behind the TV — small, cheap, and makes the whole setup look a lot less chaotic.
Saorview Set-Top Box
Adds free Saorview channels to any TV with an aerial — a simple backup for news and sport when broadband drops. Check it's Saorview-approved before buying.
Surge-Protected Extension Lead
Enough sockets for the TV, soundbar, router and streaming stick behind one cabinet, with surge protection for the lot.
Troubleshooting
Wi-Fi Range Extender
The most common fix for streaming boxes that are too far from the router — extends your signal without a full mesh system.
Long Ethernet Cable
A wired connection eliminates Wi-Fi buffering entirely if you can run a cable to your streaming device.
Mesh Wi-Fi System (2-pack)
For persistent buffering across multiple rooms, a mesh system solves it more thoroughly than a single extender.
TV Screen Cleaning Kit
A safe, streak-free way to keep your screen clear — worth having once you've got your setup looking sharp.
Rechargeable Remote Batteries (4-pack)
Dead remote batteries are one of the most common 'my streaming device isn't working' calls — a rechargeable set fixes it for good.
Amazon Ethernet Adapter for Fire TV
Plugs into your Fire TV Stick's power port and gives it a wired connection — the most reliable fix for buffering during live sport.
Powerline Adapter Kit
Sends your broadband through the home's electrical wiring, so a TV far from the router gets a wired-style connection without drilling.
News
TV Aerial Signal Booster
Worth knowing about if a broadcast rights or channel-lineup change affects your aerial reception — a simple fix for a weak signal.
Fire TV Remote
A no-frills starting point if a service or pricing change has you reconsidering your current setup.
Reviews
Fire TV Stick 4K Max
The higher-spec sibling of the standard 4K Stick — worth the extra cost if you want the fastest interface and Wi-Fi 6 support.
Roku Ultra
Roku's top-tier model — faster processor, Dolby Vision/Atmos support, and a lost-remote finder button, reviewed as the best of the Roku lineup.
Streaming Services
Compact Soundbar
TV speakers rarely do streaming audio justice — a simple soundbar is the most-requested upgrade.
Universal Remote Control
Cuts down on juggling three remotes to switch between your TV, streaming box, and soundbar.
Portable Bluetooth Speaker
A flexible alternative to a fixed soundbar if you want to move audio between rooms or take it outside for a match.
LG LED AI,32 inch HD Smart TV
A 2026 32-inch LG smart TV with webOS apps built in, plus Google Cast and AirPlay 2 for casting from your phone.
Wireless TV Headphones
Lets one person turn the volume up without disturbing the rest of the house — a favourite for late-night viewing and anyone hard of hearing.
Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer
A bigger upgrade than a compact soundbar — the separate subwoofer adds the depth that films and match-day crowds need.
Sports Streaming
Outdoor Digital TV Aerial
A proper outdoor aerial gives the most reliable free-to-air reception for big match days on RTÉ or TG4, when every stream is under strain.
3-in-1 HDMI Switch
Useful if your streaming box, games console, and set-top box are all fighting over one HDMI port on match day.
Watch Guides
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K
The easiest way to get every major streaming app — RTÉ Player, Netflix, Sky Stream — on one remote.
Roku Streaming Stick 4K
A straightforward remote and menu system if you just want to find your show and start watching.
HD Satellite Receiver
A free-to-air HD satellite receiver. It ships tuned to Astra 19.2E, and after a factory reset it can be retuned to Astra 28.2E for free-to-air Irish and UK channels.
Xiaomi TV,32 Inch Smart TV
A 32-inch smart TV running Fire OS, so the main Irish streaming apps are built in — no extra stick needed. Good for a bedroom or kitchen.
