New interface is faster to navigate and is more intuitive than with previous Roku boxes. Quick menu navigation. Integrated/cross channel search is incredibly useful.
No out-of-the-box local streaming. App only currently available for iPhone/iPod Touch

Roku 3 has the largest channel support, which means more content. And if it is not enough, there is an equally large number of “private channels”. I found the pictures to be surprisingly good. The system is lag free which is a nice improvement from the R...
Abstract: The Amazon Fire TV brings the simple Amazon-focused interface of the Kindle Fire to the big screen. We decided to compare the Fire TV with the Roku 3 , another popular set-top box that streams video to a TV from the Internet.We already took a look at the ...

Easiest interface of all streaming set-top boxe, Far more online channels than rival, Excellent search and discovery capabilitie, Private listening use headphone-compatible remote
Many of the, 500+ channels have narrow appeal
The leader of the streaming player pack, the Roku 3 offers the most content choices, a comprehensive search feature and a remote that enables private listening. Roku was founded nearly a dozen years ago by one of the creators of the DVR, Anthon...

New UI is a welcome improvement, Upgraded CPU eliminates performance issues, Simple, capable and relatively cheap
Still no official YouTube or DLNA support, No analog AV output
The Roku 3 keeps everything that's made the brand successful and ushers in some welcome improvements, all without boosting the price or ruining the simple setup....

Abstract: It was heavy, it was expensive, and it took VHS tapes. The very idea of the VCR was tied directly to the notion that television was the main form of entertainment. Television came to the house via the airwaves, and the VCR let you record those events and ...

Requires credit card for setup, No backgrounding video or multitasking, No YouTube, No Airplay, HDMI cable not included, Requires HDTV with HDMI
Roku can most definitely sub-in for your cable box, but it requires heavily on your needs. It's not a perfect replacement, but instead a potentially amazing alternative. My best piece of advice is to check out all the channels it offers before canceli...
Rocksolid performance, best user experience in the business, and Bluray quality downloads
You need the disc vault to store your Blurays, the system is expensive, and the Kscape doesn't support HD music files (yet)
The Roku 3 streaming media player may have converted me from my Apple-centric ways. In addition to its extensive channel lineup, fast speed and great reliability, this player and its accessories offer many little perks that simply work the way they're sup...
