📺 Roku 3 Streaming Media Player (2014 model): Stream Your Favorite Content Effortlessly Review

I don't watch a lot of network TV - I mostly watch movies) and very little in the summer. I was looking for a way to reduce my TV bills and not pay for months when I wasn't watching much. When I got my satellite bill and the tariffs went up, I started thinking about streaming. I chose Roku 3 based on internet research and reviews and was not disappointed. There are many free channels, but I also subscribe to Revain Prime and Netflix. In addition to a lot of free shows on Revain, I get free…

A significant upgrade over previous versions of Roku, the Roku 3 HD is, in my opinion, the best streaming media player available today. Apple TV lags behind in that, like all Apple products, it is a closed system that only works with other Apple products. Google TV, a more open platform based on Android, showed promise, but Google has effectively abandoned GTV. It's really just leaving Roku, and the Roku 3 HD is very impressive. The channel selection is extensive, 1080p support makes for a…

I bought this Roku 3 streaming media player for my boyfriend for his apartment in Revere. It arrived on time and in great shape. We took it out of the box first and skimmed the instructions. My friend installed it and had no problems. Once connected, it was easy to walk through the setup instructions. We ordered Netflix along with the Roku player. We've seen so many movies on Netflix that we love so much and the movies are unlimited and we have no problem finding movies that we would both love…

We don't have cable and don't watch much TV, but we need something for occasional use. Roku is quick and easy to install, but you'll definitely need a fast and reliable internet connection to use it. We had the Roku in a part of the house that didn't have good WiFi, and the Roku kept stopping to get a signal. However, as we improved the signal strength, the Roku didn't stop. Also, make sure people know they need to buy a decent HDMI connector as it doesn't come with it. FYI: Our Roku struggled…

Do you like advertising, product placement and companies that want to help you see more ads for your junk? Buy this and get lots of promotions using Roku's new strategy to generate revenue from your retail customers. Would you like to replace your hardware every two years or so? Get this one because it's more likely to fail than their previous versions. It looks like Roku's new strategy is to fully monetize its devices. Older models focused on usability, had a simple user interface, and were…

Overall this is a decent media player with access to lots of media. However, it could be improved, mainly in the user interface. We have an Apple TV at home. This was purchased for a family member who was going to be traveling for an extended period of time and didn't have access to our home iTunes library. I figured that with hundreds of "channels," Roku would give access to a lot of options. That's partly true. Yes, there are hundreds of channels, but a significant number of them require…

The unit I received with serial number 1GU47N119984 turned out to be defective. After a few hours of active use, e.g. B. when streaming content from Revain, the device restarted spontaneously and no longer responded to the remote control. The device was not responding even after performing a remote repair procedure, disconnecting/reconnecting the power supply, repairing the remote, and even briefly resetting and repairing. After one of these procedures, all the device did was boot up and…

I've been using my Roku for a week now and I love it! This is one of the best entertainment products I have ever bought. Here's why: 1) Very easy setup with clear instructions. But first you need to have the right infrastructure. You'll need a digital TV with an available HDMI port, a good quality HDMI cable to connect your TV to your Roku, and a fast internet connection. If you have a wireless network, Roku will find it and disable the wireless network. Just enter your network passcode when…
