One thing that might be nice would be the ability to control the TV's volume with those side-mounted buttons, just to cut down on any potential remote swapping. The d-pad is responsive when navigating through menus, and the back and home buttons still function as consistently as ever within the apps. That's good news for existing users, who won't have to relearn anything, and its dreadfully simple setup is easy to pick up for newbies.
PS3 MEDIA SERVER ROKU PLUS
The switch to WiFi Direct for communication with the box, plus a headphone-out and small volume control buttons, have not noticeably affected the size, shape or feel.
The remote is how many users will interact with their Roku, and thankfully that remains largely unchanged.

There's also an upgraded CPU, but without detailed performance specs, we'll consider it later by judging how the software runs. The new Roku is packing dual antennas inside and we didn't have any problems connecting to home or hotel networks in our testing, although we'd never had a problem picking up a signal on the old box either. The SD card and USB ports remain, however the power adapter has changed slightly from the previous gen - it looks the same, but it won't plug into older models and vice versa. If you're living an all-HDMI lifestyle, you'll probably never notice, but owners of older TV or visitors to such forgotten hideaways should prepare for disappointment.
One element is missing this time around: the breakout port that provided support for analog video on the Roku 2 XS has disappeared. The grippy material on the bottom covers less area than the Roku 2's, but thanks to a slightly heavier weight, it seems to hold its placement better, where the 2 would occasionally fall victim to dangling HDMI cables and the like. It's still all black with just a small purple tag and painted-on "Roku 3" label - something you probably won't see again once it's hidden away within your entertainment center. The Roku 3's design is but a small departure from the miniature hockey puck that preceded it, with a shape that bulges and flows with fewer sharp edges.
