Many Problems with roku3
on January 28, 2014
Posted by: Anonymous
Gender:Male
I have a roku1, roku2, and a roku3. I would not recommend the 3 as it has been nothing but problems since i bought it a year ago. It looses sign in information regularly requiring re-entry of log in information. The netflix interface has changed 3 times and the current version is worthless and unreadable on a screen smaller than 40". Now every time I log in to netflix I have to pick between regular and kids version, one more click which is not necessary on roku 2 or 1. Quite honestly if my only choice is a roku3 I would look for another device for streaming. Roku has taken an excellent device and turned it into a piece of junk
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I purchased my Roku3 and was disappointed from the start when I was asked for a CC and could not go any further in the setup until I provided that info

I bought my roku 3 at best buy, I had a sony google product before and I loved it I thought id try this out because I heard good things, I ended up returning it because everything had some kind of fee or you had to sign up and I got charged for something that I didn't buy on my roku account.

We have two Roku 3. We bought an interior RCA antenna ($60, Radio Shack) we get local news & networks. Now there are no $1.99 fees, only our monthly internet charge. We are very pleased to be relieved of overpriced cable/fiber optic bills.
I would recommend this to a friend!

For the channels that wanted you could not get and really did not care for what they did offer. Returned to store that I bought it from.
