  • The Roku 3’s curves are new
  • But it’s just as small as other members of the roku family
  • And the black colouring means it’s even more subtle tucked away under your TV. It’s quiet as ever
  • And uses thirty times less power than some consoles

The editors didn't like

  • No HDMI cable included in the box
  • HDMI cable is not included. Needs to support more file formats. Though the remote offers a ton of features
  • It looks cheap

  • For instance
  • And doesn’t support subtitles on .MKV containers)
  • It doesn’t work with Apple’s AirPlay streaming standard

  • Abstract:  Roku probably didn't need to redesign the Roku 3 to stay on top of the market, but I'm glad it did. I do wish Roku's marketing team had given the new box a new name , so as not to confuse consumers, but what do I know about marketing. If you're shopping f...

  • Roku beat Google TV without even trying. The new interface makes the prospect of navigating hundreds of channels—thousands and thousands of shows and movies—a non-nightmare. It makes streaming music on Spotify or Pandora a cinch, without horrendous Androi
  • Most of Roku's 700+ channels, just like most apps, most art, and most people who raise their hands to comment in class, are terrible. Obscure junk that nobody really needs or wants. But while Roku's gone for volume over quality, none of these worthless ch
  • Do you already have a current Roku model? Yes? Then no, you shouldnt buy it, because the Roku 3s interface will be made available for all the older models Roku sells today starting in April. And those Rokus all have perfectly acceptable hardware. The 3...

  • Abstract:  En France, les constructeurs de box de streaming font face à la concurrence féroce des fournisseurs d'accès à internet. Quel est l'intérêt d'en rajouter encore autour du téléviseur, alors que le meuble ressemble déjà à un plat de spaghettis en passe de su...
