Best streaming device for up to around £50?

My old firestick doesn't seem to like my Vodafone router, so I'm looking to try something new.

I only want it to occasionally stream from my phone to my TV, so don't want to spend a fortune.

I was thinking Chromecast Ultra, Roku Streaming Stick+, or possibly a Firestick 4k if it might be less problematic with my router? Cheers.

So just about 1 recommendation for each device, lol?

I'll do some more research, my TV has most of the apps I need, so a chromecast might be the simplest solution, as I shouldn't need to install any apps onto the stick.

I might wait and see how the new Google 'Sabrina' dongle is when it comes out, can't do any harm.

I've decided to order the Chromecast with Google TV, had anyone seen it for less than its £59.99 RRP yet? Thanks.

I've got a premium 4k Netflix sub, and I think that's just the standard HD sub, but I stand to be corrected.

I'd prefer to just buy the stick for now, hopefully it will drop in price, at £50 it would already have been ordered...

New Chromecast that's just been released is another option

That's the one I'm looking at, the Chromecast with Google TV, just looking for a decent deal on it as I think £60 is a little too much, should be £50.
