Roku 3 review: our favorite media streamer, and the simplest to use, too
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 for set-top boxes, thanks to that wide selection of content and appeal, and now the company is back with its third iteration.
Its approach hasn't changed: the Roku 3 is still a simple $99 box that brings internet content including video, some simple apps and even games to your TV. But this one is touted as the most powerful Roku ever, and the team behind it has even dared to tweak that boring, but simple menu system. There have always been some rough edges that needed polishing and holes to fill in its arsenal, so join us after the break as we see if the best simple media streamer available can make the leap and become the best -- period.
