The Roku 3 is a premium player with a superior feature set to rivals. The wireless headphones are a boon and the UK content selection is superb, although we experienced lip-sync issues and network media playback is too unreliable....
If you want a streaming device between now and November, this is the one for you. Unless of course you are an Apple fanboi but then you were going to buy the Apple TV anyway. ®...
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...
