After buying the ROKU 3 we no longer use our Apple TV. The ROKU is great at staying connected to the Wifi--much more stable than Apple TV. Also has a great i-phone app that allows the use of the keyboard when searching.
Pros: Fast Setup, Simple Controls
I would recommend this to a friend!

Initial setup had some bumps in my case as the Roku device was incompatible with my Rocketfish HDMI selector box (signal would come through initially and then the source would be dropped). Luckily, I had one more HDMI input directly on my receiver. Otherwise a great device. My only complaints are with some of the channel apps themselves. For instance, the Amazon streaming app doesn't provide a direct way to skip an episode of a TV series (the XBOX version of the app provides a way to do this). This has become by 'go to' streaming device because of its ability to add 3rd party channels; a feature not available on most game consoles or Bluray/DVD players.
Pros: Simple Controls, Overall Great
Cons: Interface Lacking, Difficult setup

With the Ethernet connected to our Comcast Business Internet at home, the video is always clear and never jitters or jumps. We watch NetFlix and Amazon Prime shows on it and a few old TV shows.
Pros: Fast Setup, Amazon Prime streaming, Easy to use, Netflix Capable
Cons: Needs cable channels, Needs Youtube Native

Only complaint is that the new interface sometimes get "jittery" and doesn't work smoothly. A restart seems to fix it for a while.
Pros: Fast Setup, Improved Audio/Video, Simple Controls, Attractive Design
