The editors liked
Roku beat Google TV without even trying. The new interface makes the prospect of navigating hundreds of channels—thousands and thousands of shows and movies—a non-nightmare. It makes streaming music on Spotify or Pandora a cinch

Most of Roku's 700+ channels
Just like most apps

Are terrible. Obscure junk that nobody really needs or wants. But while Roku's gone for volume over quality

Fantastically responsive interface, Remote control features are excellent, Very large selection of channels, Set up is a breeze, Dual band wifi is a plus, Top notch app for iOS and Android, Loads of flexibility
The platform needs more big hitters in the UK, Occasional interference with headphone socket
The Roku 3 is a well-crafted and polished bit of kit. It might be small but it's well appointed, in terms of connectivity, for the digital age. It would have been nice to have the option of a dedicated digital audio output and, for that matter, more gover...

Small, easy to setup, lots of services supported, microSD and USB support, headphone jack on remote for quiet listening, 1080p support
Lots of dross apps in app store, can't buy movies or shows, no 4oD or ITV player, nine tile limit in interface & not best use of interface space
The Roku 3 is a decent TV set-top box that will offer plenty to most people looking to "cut the cable" as Americans would say. While there are some annoyances with the interface layout and a lot of dross in the app store - do you really want to pay...

Abstract: Previously, I reviewed the Roku LT (£49.99), a tiny box that gives you access to streamed video content. The new Roku 3 is at the other end of the Roku range, costs twice as much for basically performing the same job somewhat more smartly. On first exposu...
The Roku 3’s curves are new, but it’s just as small as other members of the roku family, and the black colouring means it’s even more subtle tucked away under your TV. It’s quiet as ever, and uses thirty times less power than some consoles, so you can leave it on around the clock, ready and waiting to go. It’s faster though, with a UI that whizzes around and loads up quickly.Roku hasn’t fixed wha
It’s hard to pick flaws in the Roku. Its USB playback app won’t open every video format there is (it doesn’t support commonly used .AVI files, for instance, and doesn’t support subtitles on .MKV containers), it doesn’t work with Apple’s AirPlay streaming standard, and it’s lacking a few services such as YouTube and Lovefilm. But if you have a computer on your network, you can bypass almost all of
Put simply, the Roku 3 is the finest media streamer on the market right now. It’s small, powerful, does almost everything, and its only real downside is its lack of AirPlay support. If you don’t live in a house filled with Macs and iPhones though, and ...
The Roku 3 has an updated remote with voice search, which works very well; as well as the unique headphone jack for private listening. The Roku platform delivers more apps than competitors, constant updates and doesn't favor one content provider over othe
The cheaper Streaming Stick is just as fast as Roku 3 and offers all of Roku's platform advantages, and you can add the voice-search and headphone jack remote for $30 more. The Fire TV offers a wider list of games
The Roku 3 is quick and easy to use for accessing online video services but it's pricey. It's also disappointing that it lacks support for key movie and catch up TV services including 4oD and Lovefilm....
The newer, faster Roku 3 adds an interface overhaul along with a nifty remote-mounted headphone jack for private listening. It's the best Roku box yet....
Abstract: Today Roku announced its new Roku 3 set-top box, and the company says it's the best streamer available on the market.The box, which retails for $99, comes equipped with a faster processor, HDMI, USB Ports, 1080p video, Ethernet, microSD, improved dual-ban...
Diversified apps selection, Incredibly responsive, Simple operation, Private experience using the headphone jack, Accurate results with voice search
Bland looking design, Relies on old school menu/list system, Weak gaming selection
Right there with the gang, the $100 cost of the Roku 3 is priced accordingly enough to make it a viable option if you're looking to pick up a versatile streaming box. The entire package, we feel, favors function over form. While some take pride in design...
