Lacks Support for Full Disc Rips (.iso)
on July 29, 2013
Posted by: Loubat
from Jackson, MS
Does almost exactly what I was expecting and wanting. Great little box for streaming video from all the big streaming services. Availability of hundreds of channels to fit most needs. Sadly, cannot handle the menus in full DVD/Bluray rips (.iso or video_ts folders) meaning that I would have to convert EVERY video I own in order for it to play on the Roku. Considering moving the Roku to the bedroom and bringing the box I was replacing back to the Living Room so the kids can watch all our backed-up dvd's in full quality/full content.
Pros: Attractive Design, Simple Controls, Fast Setup, Customizable
Cons: Lacks Full Format Support
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best one yet.

I use it mainly to watch Netflix and have noticed a vastly improved ability to stream without having to wait for loading of content. I have used Roku products from the beginning one and this one is far and wide the best one. I also liked the inclusion of my local PBS station content.
Pros: Earbuds For Quiet Listen, Improved Audio/Video, Loads Of Applications, Simple Controls, Lots of free stuff, No Delays In Streaming, Attractive Design, Plays Super Hd On Hd Tv, Great for Netflix, Improved Keyboard, Motion Control For Games, Free Local Pbs Programs, Fast Setup, 2 Angry Birds Games
Cons: None

Very easy set up and learning curve due to simple controls. Love the earphone connection on the remote. I use it a lot but it runs the battery down fast (2-3 days of normal use). Keep lots of spare batteries around.
Pros: Simple Controls
Cons: Low Battery Life

Best option so far

This was a definite improvement over the LT I was using. New interface is much easier to navigate and search is a nice feature. I tried both this and Google TV, before eventually deciding on the Roku. The lack of a native YouTube app and local streaming app were overcome by GoogleTV's lack of Hulu.
Pros: Improved Audio/Video, Simple Controls, Fast Setup
Cons: No Native Youtube, No Local Streaming Video

Easy Set Up

Verified Purchase:No
Too many random choices. Not enough choices of programs from KCET. Would like A&E, AMC, TNT, FX, HGTV. If these are available I find it very difficult to find them among all the random sites available. I would like to know how many of these random sites are actually watched. I would like to see access/search simplified.
Cons: Lacks Main Stream Program
