The Roku stick is going back and I'm keeping the Apple TV in my living room and Chromecast in my bedroom. I’m sure a lot of the performance issues with the Roku stick are addressed with the much faster Roku 3. The Roku 3 also has an IR receiver (works with universal remotes), ethernet/usb/sd-card ports, a headphone jack on remote (great for late night viewing), and motion control remote for gaming (not a plus for me but it does come with Angry Birds).

Roku Streaming Stick - crippled bastard of the mighty Roku 3
+ cheap & small
+ can draw power from TV USB port
+ works with plex media server (no app required !!!)
+ hundreds of built in apps/channels
+ loads of free content
+ can cast from netflix/youtube apps
+ comes with physical remote (RF connection, no line of sight required)
- doesn’t work with logitech harmony remote
- no screen mirroring from computer or mobile device
- very slow powering on (maybe better to use AC adapter and leave on 24/7 ???)
- apps a bit slow to load, (Netflix is really bad)
- interface is a bit slow, also not aesthetically pleasing

dang i was thinking of the roku stick due to the remote on my 2nd TV, but the face it's slow is a killer. the only reason i didn't get a boxee box over a year ago is because it was slow/laggy to use in store

I downloaded AirMusic yesterday when I posted and it was still free. Maybe switched back to paid at midnight EST.

The Roku streaming stick may be useable for most but not it's not for me. I need a fast and slick looking interface, maybe I'm spoiled from using the Apple TV for so long. I bet the Roku 3 is nice and speedy!

ya i need fast as well. i have a logitech revue (1st gen google tv) and speed/lag at times is so frustrating. i dont' want to go back to that again. I might wait to see a roku on display in store before deciding on another chromecast

There's way too much content to go through. Kind of have to force yourself to scope out each one from time to time. I'm pretty set in the current shows that I am watching so not much value for me. I guess if I was without cable and a PVR box then I would be more excited. Check this short list out...

40 Best Roku Channels

NOTE: Showbox users, the app has advertising now. ad blockers will cause it to Force Close.

just disable the ad blocker when using and re enable when done.

Is there a way to cast your web broswer to the TV?

Afaik only from Chrome browser on PC/Mac... Maybe Android too? If not then it's in the works for mobile.

Amazon Fire TV > Roku

it can even load andriod apps like allcast
