Roku 3 review: The best streaming box you can buy, period!
I don't mind telling you I have three Roku boxes in my house.
That's not me being boastful; it's me revealing how much I love
Roku boxes.
The new $99.99 Roku 3 takes the place of the Roku 2 XS as the high-end model in the line, and it's without a doubt the company's best box yet. But questions remain: Is it worth the extra cash, and does it beat the Apple TV at its own media-streaming game?
For the uninitiated, a Roku box plugs into one of your TV's HDMI ports, then serves up nearly every video and audio service known to man: Amazon Instant Video, Hulu Plus, HBO Go, Netflix, Pandora, Slacker, Spotify, TuneIn Radio, Vudu, and literally hundreds of others.
