Roku setup

[TrentonWendell]

I have a Roku Streaming Stick + on my current tv and have purchased a new smart tv. Do I need to use my streaming stick on the smart tv or can I access it directly on the smart tv without using the streaming stick?

If your Smart TV is a Roku TV, the stick would be redundant.  If it's something else, it has its own apps that are unrelated to the stick and its Roku apps.  You may or may not like the way the TV works if you're used to using Roku devices.  You can always connect the stick to the TV much the same way you'd connect something like a Blu-ray player to get the Roku experience on a non-Roku "smart" TV.
