Get Plex Media center, wow.... Good by cable box forever. No wonder Comcast is trying to block HBO Go from streaming on Roku, why would I ever want their bulky, slow, ad filled, corporate monitoring device plugged into my TV?
Pros: Improved Audio/Video, Simple Controls, Attractive Design, Fast Setup
I would recommend this to a friend!

I decided since I loved my first roku box so much, but it was getting slow and kept messing up with the HD on Netflix, and extremely slow on HBO Go I would try the new Roku 3. Loved how much smaller it was than the first Roku XD I had, and was very surprised the speed of it, it's a lot faster. The menu design has completely changed making it look a lot more attractive, and had no issues with the HD at all. Love the little headphone jack on the remote, comes in really handy if you want to watch a movie in private, or listen to pandora, or even play angry birds. First time I set it up tho, albeit extremely easy, the remote became unpaired, a quick restart and it was back on its feet, it has happened twice since I got it back in March or April so it's not really an issue. I recommend rokus to everyone I talk to regarding cutting cost and cable. I actually work for the cable company and use it for when customers call to say how expensive their cable bill is, and if I can't get it lowered I tell them to look into the roku, so much cheaper than cable. All in all excellent product will buy one for every tv eventually.
Pros: Simple Controls, Improved Audio/Video, Fast Setup, Attractive Design
Cons: Still Some Glitches

Roku 3 is the best and quickest yet

The Roku 3, my third Roku, improves on the others by being quicker than the LT and the Roku 2. When I bought mine, I also ordered an SC card to expand its memory because so many new channels are added each and every week that I knew I would soon need it. Roku outshines all others because it features apps to many program sources, including overseas TV and stations in many languages that other streaming media players just can't get. I love my Roku and watch several sources every single day.
Pros: Simple Controls, Improved Audio/Video, Attractive Design, Fast Setup

Great but missing audio connections....

from New York!
I could not imagine life without Roku, and I bought this to have a leg up on the new UI, which is a big improvement. That being said, the removal of the audio connections for connection to older receivers is a HUGE mistake in my opinion. Other than that, Roku rules!
Pros: Faster Wifi, Attractive Design, Fast Setup, Connections, Fast, Audio, Headphones In Remote
Cons: No Audio Conections

No YouTube :(

Verified Purchase:No
Some channels often require resetting the Roku box (unplug/replug) which is annoying. Do not like having to use Twonky to access YouTube (for videos >5 mins or so, often requires re-beaming).
Pros: Simple Controls, Fast Setup, Improved Audio/Video, Attractive Design
Cons: No youtube, Reset To Access Channels, No You Tube
