Engadget - Roku's media streamers have carved out a notable niche for themselves, with what started out as a Netflix box, but quickly grew to include hundreds of other entertainment options. Whatever they've lacked in style, they've always made up for with an easy-to-navigate menu and remote, not to mention low prices. In fact, they've become our default recommendation in the media streamer category, and now the company is back with its third iteration.
Cord Cutters News: Roku just released update 6.1 for Roku set top boxes. Here is our best list of everything that was changed.
The Man Cave Cinema writes; What can I say that hasn't been said already about Roku. The simplicity of the hardware and great software make this the best over the top box to have. Also realistically speaking, if you want to cut the cord, this is the box to get.
Brian S Hall from ReadWrite says: "Tim Cook and Apple may be constructing their "grand vision" for television but I'm not waiting, not even if Cook announces something awesome at the company's WWDC next week. I've switched from Apple TV to Roku 3 and am happy I did. More options, more content, slightly better terms, a remote control that doesn't feel like a cheap toy and, most surprisingly, an overall superior television experience."
It's unfortunate that after all these years there isn't a single device on the market that does it all. Lack of YouTube on the Roku is perplexing and definitely limits its usefulness.
