NowTV box or stick?

I have a nowTV box.
I always wanted a stick! and now they do one, I'm thinking of getting one for my parents.
What are the disadvantages of the stick? Am I missing something?
Do they plug into a HDMI Port ?
Do I get anything different with the yellow button version?

I wouldn't bother with either. Get a Roku stick instead so you can access NowTV, Amazon, Netflix, Google Movies etc all on the same device.0

They are made by Roko
Just want it for catchup and YouTube0 -
Stick Wi-Fi only, box both Ethernet and Wi-Fi. Both plug into a HDMI socket except the early white box which had NTSC composite video output as well.0

Where do you get them ?
And are they (a lot)more than £150 -

The stick plugs into the an HDMI port and gets power via a supplied lead that plugs into a USB port. This cuts down on the number of power cables.
I've got both a stick and a box and find the box responds faster but otherwise they work the same way.0 -

Just an example
Amazon have the New Roku Express £30
Argos have the stick for £25
As you can see they are both more than £15, the prices for Roku sticks were expensive on Amazon.
Andy can you wait for Black Friday, maybe 1 would be discounted then.0 -
Yeah that’s an excellent idea. Just need to remember.
Was going to Order one on the spur of the moment.
I recall I purchased my box when it was on sale, sold the vouchers. It hardly cost me anything0 -
That roku does look better actually.
Saved in my Argos list.
