Sweet little media player

I got this for Christmas. Took all of 10 minutes to setup, including signing up on the Roku website. So far there have been zero issues. It simply just works. Never gets hot. No noisy fan. Very compact. In fact, without the cable plugged in, I'd loose it!
You can go on the Roku website to see what channels are available. Understand, there are a lot of good channels available. My only minor disappointment is that I wish there were more useful adult educational or foreign channels available. I would like to be able to stream local channels and European television. Maybe in the future, who knows.
Regardless, I am VERY happy with my Roku unit.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What a let down; No Youtube; No Network

It is not that I was expecting a lot from Roku 3 when seeking two basic features in a "Streaming Player": 1. Youtube streaming - Come On, the largest video collection on the internet and Roku is unable to stream it? I just don't get it! 2. Home Network Streaming - Most of my home videos are now on my computers and other devices connected to my home network. If Roku, which brands itself as a "Streaming Player" cannot connect to my home network devices and play my home media, then why buy? I hope I am not alone in asking for two basic features that seemingly a lot of people use: Youtube and home videos. If I want to watch Netflix and a bunch of other streaming media, then my TV and Roku 2 have that capability, so to me the upgrade is useless. I will be returning mine as well as not recommending my friends, many of who have previous version Roku or other streaming players.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Beautiful Case, Disappointing Features

Verified Purchase:No
I bought this as a potential replacement to the venerable Apple TV I was using since 2006. The industrial design of Roku 3 and performance specs are great. I got it to play HD content, but the USB media player is unbelievably bad. It will technically play videos but the folder navigation UI is too basic to be useful. Do not buy pretty little box if you want to play your video collection. It's only useful for streaming services such as Netflix.
Pros: Looks Nice Cool Remote, Attractive Design
Cons: Difficult setup, Awful Usb Media Player
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Why did I ever buy this thing?
on July 28, 2013
Posted by: Disgruntled beyond belief
from Washington DC
I mainly use it for Netflix since I can't really use it for much else. I really wanted to use it for at least Youtube which even my handheld mp3/mp4 player streams, but for some reason Roku's brilliant marketing minds deemed it unimportant.
Pros: Attractive Design
Cons: No Fair Market System, Always on, Channels Removed Randomly, Sluggish After A Few Days
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought my Roku 3 a few months ago and I am glad that I did. It was easy to setup. I don't have cable and this using my Roku 3 is working for me. I have also recommended this little box to my friends.
