Hands down the best streaming device!

I migrated to Roku from being a hardcore apple tv user. Roku definitely has the biggest selection of channels for any streaming device on the market. The selection is large enough to satisfy any need. I mainly use hulu and netflix but my kid loves channels like disney, pbs kids, among others. The games are pretty basic but enough to entertain a child for a couple of hours. Prices are pretty steep for games though, with an average of $4 to $5. My favorite feature of the Roku 3 HAS to be the headphone jack in the remote control. It is simply amazing and sound is crystal clear. The included headphones are pretty basic but you can plug in your beats and enjoy wonderful sound. If I had to find a drawback it would definitely be the inability to stream dlna content. I own a buffalo linkstation NAS and cannot stream directly to my roku. I have been able to stream from Plex media server but it lags and it just isnt functional. The ability to stream content from ALL nas would be appreciated as easily as you can in the Western Digital Live tv. Overall, a 9 out of 10 for this amazing little box!
Pros: Improved Audio/Video, Simple Controls, Fast Setup, Attractive Design
