Hi,

Not sure if I am in the right forum or looking at the right devices but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

Basically I got rid if sky sports last week but managed to hook the laptop up to the Tv to watch Sky Sports on a streaming site on Monday evening.
In the long term I would prefer not to have to have the laptop sitting in front of the tv when I want to watch something and I started looking for a device that would essentially do the same thing but be nice and small and just fit neatly beside the Sky box.

I came across these two boxes, but am not sure if they will stream random websites (eg mypremium.tv) etc.

Can either of these two boxes do this? I am edging towards the Roku as its cheaper, but would gladly take advice as to which to choose.

Thanks
