I was wondering if anyone on here owns one and if so could tell me how good they are and how easy to use they are.

Wow don't all answer at once.

Did it occur to you that nobody who's looked at this thread has one?

Would 122 individual people all replying "no" have been in any way helpful?

As it happens, I do have one. Yes, it works as intended and yes, it's easy to use.

I have a Roku 3, it works very well and I am happy with it. The only service that I would be interested in that is not on the Roku is Amazon Prime Video.

Your right of course but I did not answer because I have not got one but I do have three of them.

I’m a smart arse.

I've got one. I only use it for iplayer, ITV player, 4OD, demand 5 and Facebook. It does what I need.
Output is 720p 60.

Got a Roku 3 and 2XS, work well with streaming ripped movies from a networked drive, streaming films from Google, Flixster and Now TV. Also used for catchup on BBc, itv, ch4 and 5.

apart from facebook,. you can get all above on Now TV box (cutdown roku) for £10 - why bother with a roku 3, if that's all you need?

Most people are. therefore limiting the amount of replies you would get.

To be honest I would go for the Roku 2 over the Roku 3. Apart from gaming (which from judging from my Roku Stick is rubbish), It really offers little over the the 2. Or if you want to cast go for the Stick.
