Just plug in the included in-ear headphones to enter your own private listening
world.
It's perfect for cranking up that late-night action movie without waking the
spouse. Or kids. Or dog.
Fling those Angry Birds!
Need a break from the movies? The Roku 3 enhanced game remote features
game-ready buttons and motion-sensing technology that lets you play games with a
simple flick of your wrist.
Top titles available include Angry Birds Space and Jeopardy.
The enhanced gaming remote with motion control makes it easy to watch movies or
play games.
You’re in control
Choose between the simple remote that comes with all our players, or the ability
to control your player with your smartphone or tablet. Instantly start a TV
programme, replay a favourite movie moment, browse through the Channel Store -
all from the palm of your hand. There's even a useful virtual keyboard if you
prefer to type rather than swipe.

phone instantly on your TV? Ah, great minds think alike. Our free Roku app for

Say goodbye to the couch huddle.
It's ridiculously easy
From the simple, intuitive remote to the easy-to-use interface, Roku makes
streaming simple for everyone.
All you need to get started is a high-speed Internet connection (and a TV, of
course).
The built-in wireless and guided setup means you can be up and running in
minutes: you don't need to be a nerd!
Plug it in. Add to network. Enjoy!
What Internet connection do I need?
You need a high-speed Internet connection with a speed of at least 1.5 Mbps

If you are unable to connect the player directly to your cable or Broadband
