With its winning combination of solid performance, loads of content, and a pretty wide range of prices, Roku media players are among the most popular streaming choices.
This spring, Roku revamped the Roku 3 player (though it didn't change the name), adding a few new features, including voice search and "Roku Feed," which lets you track content you're interested in and get automatic pricing and availability updates. For example, the "Movies Coming Soon" section lets you track hit theatrical releases and then get alerts when they hit streaming services, along with info about how much they cost on each service.
Roku still has the most content of any tested player, including streaming movies and TV shows from Amazon, Blockbuster, HBO Go, Hulu, M-Go, Netflix, and Vudu. Like other Roku models, the Roku 3 has limited screen mirroring and casting capability, letting you cast Netflix and YouTube directly from a compatible phone or tablet to your TV. This year the Roku 3 is the only Roku model with a headphone jack on the remote, so you can plug into the remote for private listening.
Tomorrow Thunderbolt Electronics will tell you who the Winner of the Streaming Media Review is.
