Small, quick and simply works!

It doesn't get much simpler than this! Only a couple of times it has become unresponsive and a quick power cycle fixes it every time. Absolutely awesome with the included headphones. Very quick interface compared to previous model.
Pros: Attractive Design, Simple Controls, Love The Headphones, Fast Setup
I would recommend this to a friend!

Super simple set up. Interface is intuitive and visually pleasing. Kids love Angry Birds and neat to have headphone option on the remote. This has allowed us to cut our cable by teaming this up with Hulu Plus to watch lots of shows on demand. Great product!
Pros: Attractive Design, Fast Setup, Simple Controls

Needs sleep timer
on July 27, 2013
Posted by: Anna
from Nickerson, KS
Previously owned Apple TV, and I am deep in the Mac web. Ie 2 iPhones, iPad, and Mac. The fact that you can plug in a hard drive and do not have to be connected to the Internet is the main selling point for me. I do wish desperately that there was a sleep timer. I use an air card and falling asleep with pandora running is killing my data. I also wish the remote was a little more ergonomic.
Pros: Simple Controls, I Really Like The Roku 3, Better Than Apple Tv Lag, Attractive Design
Cons: No Sleep Time Is Huge, Online Codes Is A Pain

If the unit sits for more than a few minutes I have to pull the power and let it recycle, frustrating! I love the sound in the remote. I also have ROKU 2 and I like the ability to plug in an ethernet cable.
Pros: Attractive Design, Improved Audio/Video, Simple Controls, Fast Setup
Cons: Poor Design

Just works!

The Roku is a neat little player that delivers on what it sets out to do. I'm using it mainly with the Plex channel and the performance is great! USB device support is very limited and it's odd that there is no Youtube channel (although Plex gets around this). Also, as an international purchaser, it's annoying that there is no timezone support outside of the US. Why should there be such a limitation?
Pros: Fast Setup, Simple Controls, Attractive Design
Cons: Usb Device Support, International Support, No youtube channel

Nice product, needs a few enhancements

We use it in place of a Time Warner cable box, watch Netflix, Hulu plus, Pandora, and some angry birds. I did have some glitches with the Roku3 where it would not work correctly with the controller, unpluging the power fixed it. I would like a sleep timer so the Roku would return to the main menu/screensaver.
Pros: Attractive Design, Improved Audio/Video, Lots of channels to pick, Fast Setup, Simple Controls
Cons: Needs Sleep Timer
