Roku is the most wallet-friendly streaming brand out there and it still works great. All of the Roku devices are compatible with CBS All Access, but the HD, 4K, and HDR aren't compatible with the app. Regardless, 4K is a perfect feature to have in your home for any other streaming services you use. You can even plug a pair of headphones into the side of the remote to watch your favorite shows without disturbing roommates or waking up the kids!
The Chromecast brings you 4K streaming with HDR. You can't use the 4K streaming with CBS All Access, but its perfect for any of your other streaming services as well.

Any PlayStation 4 will be able to download the CBS All Access app, but you want the best one. The PlayStation Pro holds 1TB of memory, supports 4K TV for all the other streaming apps besides CBS All Access, and has the best HDR abilities that make this console display your favorite shows, games, and movies in the best possible way. It's upgraded system means that you'll also get smoother performance and less lagging!

With Xbox One S you can watch your 4K streaming, but also have a console in the house for your gaming pleasures.

Above all the PlayStation has to be my top pick. It's the perfect family console for streaming and gaming.

Besides, when you get tired of gaming or watching shows you can always hook up the PlayStation VR and have a grand ol' time.
