I would like to say this little Roku 3 Streaming box is amazing! The remote acts like a Wii remote, and also includes a headphone jack. I am able to listen and stream my music during the day with the tv off and be able to listen to my headphones while surfing the web or walking around my house doing chores.

I can also switch the input on the tv, so I can still stream and listen to my music while he plays xbox or watches tv. Pretty cool. The Roku 3 Streaming Player  also has games to play and the playability is comparable to the Wii remote. Very responsive remote. Also a neat feature is the Roku app that you can download for either Iphone/android.

You can show a slideshow of your pic's on the tv, by using the Roku and the app. Pretty slick! This Roku 3 Stream and responds to your every command without a hitch! That way we can still stream our tv/movies/music AND be able to keep the kids entertained by playing games!So we will not be spending more $$ on tv/games while in hotels. So total win win!
