Content is treated equally, voice search remote works well across available services, supports screen mirroring, the Roku app has voice search too
The voice search remote is the only new thing, Roku 2 is cheaper and has voice search through Roku app, no HDMI cable included in the box
The new Roku 3 is certainly a top-of-the-line streamer, but the Roku 2 is just as cool and even more affordable. Sure, the cheaper model doesn't have the voice search-enabled microphone or dedicated listening via the remote's headphone socket, thoug...
Speedy operation, An extensive features list, Remote control,
USB-file compatibility could be better,
We are very happy with the Roku 3. It is pricey compared with rivals, but its list of features is impressive, and leaves the similarly priced Apple TV far behind.Factor in the super-slick operational speeds and Roku is on to a winner...
Abstract: Last year we reviewed the Roku LT, a cute streamer with Wi-Fi hookup, slick interface and neat handset. It offers loads of on-demand content, arranged into a grid of channels that can be added to or removed from as you choose. Among them are BBC iPlayer, ...
Abstract: The thing that enticed me to look at Roku 3 was its ability to stream sound so that you can have no sound from your TV and still hear sound through the ROKU 3 unit to headphones or earbuds, ideal for those who don’t want to disturb others....
Abstract: On a recent visit to a UK preview of an American Consumer Electronics Show, I was introduced to a product designed to stream content from various sources. This product is Roku 3....
Overall, we rate this latest iteration as the best Roku yet made. But that $100/£100 price tag seems punishingly expensive given the lackadaisical attitude to file playback and lack of UK specific catch-up content. Remember, you can buy Sky's similar Rok...

Fantastically responsive interface, Remote control features are excellent, Very large selection of channels, Set up is a breeze, Dual band wifi is a plus, Top notch app for iOS and Android, Loads of flexibility
The platform needs more big hitters in the UK, Occasional interference with headphone socket
The Roku 3 is a well-crafted and polished bit of kit. It might be small but it's well appointed, in terms of connectivity, for the digital age. It would have been nice to have the option of a dedicated digital audio output and, for that matter, more gover...

Small, easy to setup, lots of services supported, microSD and USB support, headphone jack on remote for quiet listening, 1080p support
Lots of dross apps in app store, can't buy movies or shows, no 4oD or ITV player, nine tile limit in interface & not best use of interface space
The Roku 3 is a decent TV set-top box that will offer plenty to most people looking to "cut the cable" as Americans would say. While there are some annoyances with the interface layout and a lot of dross in the app store - do you really want to pay...

Abstract: Previously, I reviewed the Roku LT (£49.99), a tiny box that gives you access to streamed video content. The new Roku 3 is at the other end of the Roku range, costs twice as much for basically performing the same job somewhat more smartly. On first exposu...
