Taking the Jump... Sky TV

You don't need a USB port for Firestick or ROKU box. Just a HDMI connection. Does your current tv have one?
The USB port is convenient in that it will power the device from the TV, but you can use a usb plug in a normal outlet instead.
Also I'd definitely recommend a ROKU over a Firestick any day1 -
Thanks KxMx for this information. Yes I do have a HDMI connection.0

If you’re on the apple eco system I would recommend Apple TV 4K. They are expensive but the interaction between all your family’s devices is so good it’s worth the one off outlay I would say.If your android user then disregard this post!0

The "trouble" with many of these TV boxes/sticks is that their prices vary so much. If you're going to be paying c. £40, then a Roku device is probably better than a Firestick.
However, I got my 4K Firestick with offers/coupons for £15, which is much better VFM for a very fast and capable device.1 -

To lazy to go on youtube to find out;0
