The Roku 2 is just as fast as the Roku 3. The best-in-class Roku platform delivers more apps than competitors, constant updates and doesn't favor one content provider over others. Its interface is lightning-quick, fully customizable and dead simple to use
The 2016 Streaming Stick is a better value overall. The Roku 2 loses the analog outputs and headphone jack remote of the original Roku 2 and the voice search remote of the Roku 3. Some app interfaces are less polished than on rival devices
A nearly perfect mix of speed, features, price and ecosystem make the Roku 2 our favorite streaming device yet....

Sammanfattning: Just so there's no ambiguity on this point, I'm definitely an Apple TV fan. The first-generation model was a (literally) hot mess, but Apple did a much better job with the streamlined second- and third-generation versions, which I use every day and have s...

Nice price. Plenty of online services available through channels. Headphone jack in remote control for private listening.
No wired network connection
The Roku 2 media hub keeps all of the best features of the excellent Roku 3 and takes out some seldom-used ones to offer an even-more-affordable price....

Sammanfattning: The numbers don't lie. When Netflix accounts for more than a third of US internet bandwidth, when streaming services are racking up Emmys by the truckload, when cable subscriber numbers dwindle while Amazon Prime Video sign-ups soar, it's hard to avoid th...

Sammanfattning: Media players and set top boxes are basically devices that act as gateways to these subscription-based streaming services, and that enable the provision of an increasingly dizzying array of to-the-set media that via the players is fast outstripping linear...
The Roku 2 is definitely a media streamer, as opposed to a true media player. Sure, the XS model can play some digital media files via its USB port, but it can't really compete with the Boxee Box or the Apple TV when it comes to playback of one's personal...
Simple and straightforward to navigate, Smartphone app lets you control the Roku if the remote control isn't easily available, Roku Feed not only lets you select movies and TV shows that are coming soon to receive notifications when they become available
Can only mirror your screen from an Android or Windows device, not an iOS device, Doesn't come with an HDMI cable to connect it to your TV, The remote control doesn't support motion gaming or come with a headphone jack like the Roku 3 does, Lacks any voic
The Roku 2 is an ideal buy if you're only after a TV streaming device just so you can watch a wide choice of online services through your TV. It may lack the motion-enabled remote control suitable for gaming that its big brother the Roku 3 boasts, but its...
Sammanfattning: The box is black with a matt black ‘2' on the top. The left side has what looks like a ‘pull away' Roku fabric logo on the left side. The top is clear as is the base apart from rubber insets to stop the unit moving on a shiny surface. The front is also cl...

Reliable streaming, Speedy processor, Simple to set up and use, Huge app support and platform agnostic
No headphone jack, Limited gaming potential, Universal search a letdown
The Roku 2 works well, but lacks the unique features of its predecessor, or the Roku 3. If you just want a Netflix, YouTube and catch-up TV box then you won't be disappointed. If you want more, then try the Roku 3 or Amazon Fire TV instead...
