Roku .  The good
The Roku 3 's excellent interface and speedy processor makes it feel quicker and more responsive than any other streaming box. More than 1,000 channels are supported, including Netflix, Amazon Instant, HBO Go, Hulu Plus, Pandora, MLB.TV, Amazon Cloud Player, Vudu and (finally) Youtube. It also has cross-platform search that scours several major TV and movie services to find content. And Roku's nifty remote has a built-in headphone jack that lets you listen without disturbing others.
The bad.
The Apple TV still works better within the Apple ecosystem. And the Roku 3 isn't the best option if you're mostly looking to stream your personal digital media collection.
The bottom line
The Roku 3 is the best streaming-video box yet, with tons of content sources, lightning-fast performance, and an innovative remote with built-in headphone jack

How do you get someone to buy your streaming-video puck when everything already streams Netflix?


That's the question Roku has answered definitively with the Roku 3 ($99), by serving up more content sources than anyone else, with lightning-fast navigation and an onscreen interface that's finally competitive with the Apple TV. The Roku 3's updated processor and always-on design means you go from "TV off" to "House of Cards" much faster than alternative streamers, and the overhauled interface and improved cross-platform search lets you quickly find the content you want to watch. And there's a lot to watch, with more than 1,000 channels including Netflix, Amazon Instant, HBO Go, Pandora, Hulu Plus, MLB.TV, PBS, and ( finally ) YouTube. Add in the Roku's neat remote with a built-in headphone jack -- a killer feature for anyone with roommates or a late-night movie habit -- and there are more than enough reasons buy the Roku 3 when you can already stream Netflix.


The Roku 3 isn't without faults. Those with hard drives full of digital media will also find the Roku 3's paltry file-format support lacking, and Apple fans will still want to give a long look at the Apple TV ($99), which is so tightly integrated with the Apple ecosystem.


But those faults are easily forgotten once you pick up the remote, start streaming, and maybe even plug in the included earbuds. The Roku 3 is the best streaming-video box yet, earning CNET's Editors' Choice Award for the category.
