We deal with the brand-new Roku 3 streaming media individual for a thirty day duration, together with the Apple Television set and WD Tv Live set finest containers to inspect every gamer’s strengths and weak points. No media banner is fantastic, however the brand-new Roku has some really eye-catching attributes that are genuinely important.

Amazing Video… You can also refer this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ir4gGDL6YHQ for Roku activation.
My Roku has problems connecting to the Hulu and Netflix servers frequently. It often cuts out in the middle of shows.
Check out that youtube thing again
because i watch youtube everyday on it.
will pthis play .avi / .mp4/ .mkv files?
I got mine for free XD
This video is a few years old YouTube and hbo go is supported
Which equipment plays the best MKV files from any player you tested before ?
If you value ethical business, and your privacy, do not buy one of these. We bought a Roku player to play movies from a USB thumb drive, as advertised. Not until it arrived, did we learn that Roku Inc holds the unit hostage until you register it online, and hand over your credit card information. Only after you either badger their customer service, or dig around online, do you find out that there's an alternate sign-up process. I understand why. They want my personal information for advertising and data mining. Because of this bullying bait and switch tactic, we don't trust the company, and we've decided to throw our brand new unit in the trash. We're getting an Android based media player instead.
It plays YouTube now! 🙂
I have for previous Rokus they work awesome for the cheaper price. just as fast. the interface is fast enough. if they wanted to improve,add a keyboard to input in search faster. no YouTube? definitely not an improvement. previous versions better

No youtube app on Roku 3? Then, it is a no buy! Thanks for your review.
Is there any live channels on Roku 3 +?
Are there any sports packages/channels like ESPN, Foxsports on this device?
You can download Youtube on the Roku 3
Norm is does play YouTube!
trust me everyone the roku is a waste of money. Buy the western digital. Roku can barely play any video file formats. Very finicky
Does anyone knoe if you can use the roku media player without internet using an external hard drive full of videos
Cool. Can the Roku-3 support a 2.0 flash drive to view video files?
You Tube IS available now.
Can I download vudu movies if I put a SD card into it?
I'm going to tell you right now. That interface isn't nearly as snappy as he's showing.
Meh. Â Waste of money. Â Raspberry PI or old PC + XBMC. Â
Forget about satellite tv and cable tv charges. The Roku 3 was something I would never see in my lifetime.
you can use YouTubee now
It do play youtube I have a roku 3
Subbed. Good review.
Blame Comcast for trying to extort cash from the makers of the Roku for the absence of HBO Go support. Â This is the same reason that you'll not find HBO Go on the PlayStation either; Sony refuses to pay Comcast.
Microsoft, playing a bit of the underdog, has coughed up the dough to Comcast for HBO Go support on the 360.
They have now added YouTube, so that's not an issue anymore
WDTV is also the worst thing I have ever used in my life… this review completely lost credit.
It does have youtube… maybe it is updated more recently.
Does it have a web browser?
Thus video is stupid it does have YouTube U need to add it as a channel
Does anyone know if, when you access your USB drive through the Roku, does the Roku see only individual files or also folders. I was hoping that I could plug an external hard drive full of videos and play them with the Roku 3, but if it doesn't organize them by folders, then it won't help much.
Anyone with information would be incredibly helpful! 😀
Great review. You just convinced me I don't need a Roku 3. Thanks!
Why do you have a drawing of frank from 'American Pickers' in the background? Maybe it's actually just the guy from tool time…
can i connect my laptop to the roku , like to see my laptop screen on my tv ?
Ok,im confused a bit. If I want to watch actual TV,like shows that would air on,lets say, channel 18 at 10pm, could I still watch those or do i have to use cable still? Thanks
What version of HDMI is on it?
Just bought the Roku 3 to replace my old Roku XD|S (2010).Â
I somewhat disagree on Norm's conclusion that if you have one, you won't need another.Â
The upgrade was worth it for me since I cut my cable in 2010 and I have a 2006 dumb Samsung 1080p.Â
The old XD|S had glitches launching apps, was very slow rendering thumbnails and crashed frequently if I try to play or rewind a HD video.Â
Roku 3 was fast with no crashes so far plus adding micro-USB for cache was a bonus. I happened to have 4Gb from old cellphone that did the job
I was always able to get YouTube through a private channel for Roku since the beginning along with my profile. Now, there's an official app for it but it's only a matter of time before there's ads.Â
Tested use to have an app on Roku before the split-up. I still have the icon on my channel. It's abandon app now. Here's hoping Tested gets a channel on Roku.Â
Giant Bomb is on Roku and not WD which is why I didn't purchase it.Â
Though it was still usable, the XD|S was always crashing at least once a day requiring a reboot. Sometimes, the software doesn't work and I had to physical unplug it to get the reboot to happen. The "delete" character glitch wasn't there but the iPhone app is clunky. No landscape mode. You can choose button or swipe. Swipe mode needs work. Good review, Norm. I miss the old days. Â
YouTube was actually just added in December (yaaaaaayyyyyyyy! :D) I have the roku 3 and it's the best streaming device ever!!! I am subscribed 2 comcast but idk if it supports comcast now. Maybe…
can roku play local files ( music/ videos ) Â from pc or external drive?
thanks …
Sort your cables out 🙂
It now got Youtube!
can we get to chiller and fx channels
As of december 2013 Roku does support YouTube natively, as for the remote, you can pair older remote to your roku (TL remote work on Roku 3) and some universal remote works via IR so you need line of sight to work.
Merry Christmas 😀 and I heard that roku can now get YouTube as a main channel! exciting news considering I got mine today lol
The Roku 3 can do more then even what's in the video , not only can you play Youtube with third party apps(like Playon,twonky,VideoBuzz,) , but I can also play any video format from my computer with some of the Roku apps , like Plex,Playon and more. You do a google search for Private Channels and you get a whole bunch more stuff you can do with it. Now let me plug in a usb flash drive with my family photo's and presto you have a nice screen saver of your family 🙂 .This is not just a stream box with a few apps , this thing now has over a 1,000 and growing everyday.Oh and the Roku app for your phone will also double as a remote plus steam your music/photos from your phone right to Roku. Merry Christmas all 🙂Â
