Streaming Box - Which one to buy?

Recommended Posts

I'm planning on buying a streaming box, but I can't decide between Apple TV and Roku 3, and I don't even know if there are other options, so I'm here to get a word from you guys. Any suggestions?

TIA.

I'd go for either the Roku 3 / 2

Since its UK launch with Netflix, the Roku player has gained a few tweaks and improvements. It’s also been rebadged and subsidised as Sky’s NowTV box. But we reckon that for most people the Roku 2 or Roku 3 is the best bet - the latter adds a faster processor and an Ethernet port. Both include a headphone socket on the remote, which is a neat idea that more firms should adopt, and can pump out 1080p.

Catch-up TV capabilities now include BBC iPlayer and Demand 5, and for a little extra each month you can try out Netflix or Sky’s new NowTV service, which includes access to sports and entertainment channels as well as movies.

The Roku is a great little box, but don’t believe the “450 channels” hype. Outside the big names, you’ll be hard pushed to find great mainstream content.

The Roku 3 is retailing around about £100, where the Roku 2 can be picked up for around £45.00
