Abstract: Just so there's no ambiguity on this point, I'm definitely an Apple TV fan. The first-generation model was a (literally) hot mess, but Apple did a much better job with the streamlined second- and third-generation versions, which I use every day and have s...

Nice price. Plenty of online services available through channels. Headphone jack in remote control for private listening.
No wired network connection
The Roku 2 media hub keeps all of the best features of the excellent Roku 3 and takes out some seldom-used ones to offer an even-more-affordable price....

Abstract: The numbers don't lie. When Netflix accounts for more than a third of US internet bandwidth, when streaming services are racking up Emmys by the truckload, when cable subscriber numbers dwindle while Amazon Prime Video sign-ups soar, it's hard to avoid th...

Abstract: Media players and set top boxes are basically devices that act as gateways to these subscription-based streaming services, and that enable the provision of an increasingly dizzying array of to-the-set media that via the players is fast outstripping linear...
The Roku 2 is definitely a media streamer, as opposed to a true media player. Sure, the XS model can play some digital media files via its USB port, but it can't really compete with the Boxee Box or the Apple TV when it comes to playback of one's personal...

Plasticky remote, No headphone jack or mic
Sporting a new-and-improved processor powering a vast library of streaming content, the Roku 2 - like a fine wine - only gets better with age....

The Roku 2 is just as fast as the Roku 3. The best-in-class Roku platform delivers more apps than competitors, constant updates and doesn't favor one content provider over others. Its interface is lightning-quick, fully customizable and dead simple to use
The 2016 Streaming Stick is a better value overall. The Roku 2 loses the analog outputs and headphone jack remote of the original Roku 2 and the voice search remote of the Roku 3. Some app interfaces are less polished than on rival devices
The Roku 2 offers tons of content sources and an innovative remote with built-in headphone jack for just $80, but the Roku 3 is still our favorite pick....
Abstract: When Google unveiled its $35 Chromecast device to help consumers get web content on their TVs, it was perceived as bad news for competitors selling similar but more expensive products, including one of the market leaders, Roku.But Roku welcomes the compet...

Lo bueno, Interfaz personalizable, Descarga rápida de canales, Conexión Ethernet, Incluye control
Con un precio de 79 dólares en Estados Unidos o su equivalente en libras en UK, tenemos en mi opinión el mejor box tv del mercado, siendo por precio y prestaciones muy superior al Apple TV.Más de 1.000 canales, streaming local de nuestro contenido, casi t...
