That's pretty funny, as a long-time Roku user. The search couldn't be easier, whether you're inside a specific app, or using the cross platform search feature.

That's pretty funny, as a long-time Roku user. The search couldn't be easier, whether you're inside a specific app, or using the cross platform search feature. Performance is snappier than these services on a desktop browser, and the ecosystem is as open as anyone could want.
- fixedd 13y agoAs a long-time Roku user I curse ours almost every day. Performance is slower than every other device we own (except the Chromecast). They constantly "reset" themselves while trying to navigate through the Netflix and Amazon listings. Videos will just sporadically stop playing or run into constant buffering issues. There are no parental controls. They didn't support DLNA until a few months ago.
- officemonkey 13y ago"long-time Roku user." How old is your box? I'm still happy with mine, despite it being a couple of years old. I was thinking of getting a new one, but if the new ones are of poorer quality...
- fixedd 13y agoWe own a Roku 2 XD and a Roku LT, both about 2.5 years old. Both worked great for ~ 6 months and then... something changed and they haven't worked well since. I used to have one of the originals, it was great.
- officemonkey 13y agoI did notice that the UI gets slower and less responsive, but I blame myself for being a cheapo and expecting a $70 box to last years. I'm waiting a bit to see if the next RokuBox or AmazonBox ends up supporting iTunes videos (which is a nice to have, but not a must have.)
- com2kid 13y agoSeriously? There is a lag moving between characters. Typing is painful. The UI is horrible. I am getting ready to dump a good $500 on a brand new setup just to replace my Roku because it is so bloody painful to use.
