For someone who has never had cable television before, this is a god send, but for anyone who is a cable tv connesuir, it's useless unless you want to watch a lot of old stuff..
Pros: Lots of content
Cons: Remote Needs Backlit
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Roku Rocks? Yep, It DOES!

I tried to watch Iron Man yet again on netword TV last night. They actually made a movie thats an hour and a half into a three hour movie with commercials. When you first see 'em you'd better enjoy them because you'll be seeing them for the next 3 hours. I guess if there was a commercial that actually featured common sense I may enjoy it. Unfortunately, they're mind numbing and seem to be written for a 10 year old. I got Roku because I NEEDED a change. The only thing I'd like to see is an automatic advance feature when you're watching a season of your favorite TV episodes - that would make it pretty much perfect. I'm glad Roku sent me this invitation to share my thoughts on their product. Bottom Line -If you don't have it yet, get it.
Pros: Fast Setup, Improved Audio/Video, Attractive Design, Simple Controls, No Government Commercials

Not much more than a network enabled blueray without the blueray instead a pretty simple little game package. Regret we did not know more before we ordered it. Do your research so it fits your needs.
Pros: Fast Setup, Simple Controls

Great little box that helped finally cut the cable. Good selection of apps to get the content you want -- check those to see if this can work for you. Only wish there was a way to watch Premier League soccer!
Pros: East, Simple, Headphones, Remote, Apps

The Roku 3 is great. It basically functions seemlessly, and the new remote makes playing games much better than the Roku 2. The only thing I would still like to see would be Youtube. Keep up the great work Roku!

Great product, but when paired with Windstream ADSL it gets confused and has to be reset since the ADSL comes and goes when it pleases. The ROKU itself not having tested it on a reliable service. I believe is a very good product. My son bought one and as far as I know has had no problems. He is also on a different internet provider.

This is not a review, only Comments.....

A bargin Compared to Satelite, and Cable. The Roku3 players Software Design is very Slick... Major Con: lack of 3.5mm Audio output, on the player. Minor Con: placement of remote select button. If placement is best for games, then use two select buttons, one for the easier use of the keypad menu. Phyical Styling: Maybe a choice between Game system Syling or Standard Audio/Video System styling.
Pros: Attractive Design, Fast Setup, Improved Audio/Video
