More consistent HD streaming

Handles HD streaming much better than earlier models. It has yet to "downgrade" the signal to SD (480p)
Pros: Fast Setup, Improved Audio/Video, Simple Controls, Attractive Design
I would recommend this to a friend!

Needs some debugging

I have a Roku 2 which I've had no problem with. When I received the Roku 3 I was excited to use the new features like the remote control headphones. What I found is that when I turn on my TV and Roku 3, nothing happens.....Roku screen is frozen and won't respond to the remote control. When I reboot everthing works fine. I've had to do this over a half a dozon times so far. I was showing my brother Roku3 because he was interested in getting one and of course the screen was frozen and I had to reboot. He asked if that were normal so he obviously was concerned about it. I would recommend the Roku 2 but not the Roku 3 at this time. I don't know how to resolve this issue at this point.
Pros: Fast Setup, Attractive Design, Simple Controls, Improved Audio/Video
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Addition of subtitles invaluable to me

Watch movies and TV series. Addition of subtitles big help for people like me with hearing difficulties. I found game controller use awkward, and didn't use headphone outlet.
Pros: Improved Audio/Video, Attractive Design, Fast Setup, Simple Controls

I loved my little Roku box...

I loved the Roku box. It was cute, fast and easy to use. We got rid of it because we couldn't stream HBO Go from DirectTV. If we could have, I would have given it 5 stars. But we took it back to get an Apple TV instead. :( It didn't make sense to have both.
Pros: Fast Setup, Attractive Design, Tons of channels, Improved Audio/Video, Simple Controls
Cons: No youtube
I would recommend this to a friend!

What I really appreciate is when something I order online turns out to be exactly what I expected. This was my experience with the Roku 3. I must add that a few days before the Roku 3 arrived, I added a Netgear 900 dual band wireless router so as to take advantage of the dual band feature of the Roku 3. I don't know if it was the router or the Roku 3, but now my movies load in seconds, with no reloading or picture stuttering. I'm guessing it may be a little of both, and I'm guessing the 5 GHz band may help. FYI, the router and Roku are separated by about 50 feet and I've used the Roku 3 for about two months. The remote with headset is my favorite. I'm a night owl, and I can now watch the West Wing or whatever without fear of waking my wife. And, I also enjoy watching a slideshow of my iPhone photos on the TV, with music from my playlist. One thing to keep in mind is that one is actually using the remote a lot to listen to shows, music, etc., so the batteries need to be changed a little more frequently.
Pros: Attractive Design, Fast Setup
