To recap
The Roku 3 is a decent TV set-top box with the main catch-up TV services on hand, such as Netflix, Now and BBC iPlayer, although there are some omissions - 4 On Demand and ITV Player being two. It’s worth its £100 cover price though because there’s a USB socket for localised file support and Ethernet port for speedy streaming support. It might not be possible to download and store local content, like with Apple TV, but the added microSD card slot, the motion controller and faster processor make Roku 3 a worthwhile upgrade that fills in some of the omissions of its predecessor.
