Problem with pairing remote. *Potential solution*

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is our 3rd Roku 3, in addition to a Roku 2 (which came in very handy, more about that below).

The remotes on 2 of the 3 paired immediately and automatically on startup. Those were the first and third units, purchased April 2016 and January 2017. The second unit, purchased November 2016 would not pair. On power up, it stuck on the choose language screen and I couldn't choose a language because the remote wasn't paired (it is not an infrared like almost every other remote, it connects thru wifi so you don't need to aim it at the unit). The remote paired easily with one of the other Roku 3 units so that wasn't the problem. The problem was that the unit wasn't connecting to wifi and wouldn't connect even when connected via ethernet cable.

Googling the problem I discovered that the unit needed to update firmware before it would automatically connect to wifi but I obviously couldn't get past the first screen because in order for the remote to pair, the unit needs to connect to wifi. This is a fatal flaw in the software design.

Enter the Roku 2. Someone said they had used that remote to get past the initial setup and connect to wifi to get the update and that's exactly what I did. It's IR so the unit need not be connected to wifi. If you don't have an IR Roku remote, an IR universal remote (with Roku capability) would also work or there may be an app for a Roku compatible IR remote if your phone has IR capability (mine does not). Everything is up and running fine now but if I didn't have the 2, my only choice would have been to return it and try another unit (which others have tried and still had pairing problems). I did have to pair the 3 remote manually using the Roku 2 remote.

It still gets 5 stars The unit is great. The wifi remote (and Roku app) are very cool. With the app, I can be in another room and get Hulu or whatever else up and running so I don't have to wait when I sit down to watch. Hopefully they get this problem worked out and new units will ship with the proper firmware or at least the capability to connect and download on startup.

Why did I wait so long?

Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2017

I purposely searched for a Roku 3 after reading a hefty number of negative reviews on the 4th gen model. It's only been a couple of weeks, but we absolutely love our Roku! Our BluRay players do not let us add apps to them and we did not want to purchase another BluRay with two already functioning ones in the house, so our best option for trying out Sling TV was to order a Roku. I wish I'd bought one sooner! The apps load much more quickly than on the BluRay, the picture quality is better, the interface is even cleaner on some of the apps. The remote has the "cheat" buttons to go directly to specific apps, if you're feeling lazy. Its sleek design is a nice fit for a smaller hand, and the RF feature means you don't need to struggle to aim the remote at just the right angle to get the device to respond. I especially love the headphone option, though the sound can sometimes be crackly, and I discovered you can't walk too far away from the Roku without the sound jumping back to the TV from the earbuds. The only downside to this device is that there is no OFF button; it is always on unless you unplug the unit directly. Overall, I'm so happy I purchased this, and will likely purchase another to replace the other BluRay player upstairs.

This is our sixth Roku and our 2nd Roku 3. The 3 is signifiantly faster than the earlier units and works better playing content in HD, especially on Apps other than Netflix. Youtube in particular tended to freeze up and have issues on the older Roku's. In general the 3 moves faster through the menu and loads screens faster. The wi-fi remote works great and does not need line-of-sight to work so you can place the box behind the TV or whatever. With the older boxes our cats seem to have a sixth sense of just where to stand to block the remote. I did not realize when I first got the 3 how valuble the ability to plug headphones into the remote would be. I work at night and am usually watching TV when the rest of the house is asleep. The wi-fi remote does use batteries much faster than the IR remotes.
One note, I have several hand-me-down Plasma TV's in my house and while the older Roku's had HDMI AND analog audio out, the 3 and most of the other current Roku's only have HDMI. My plasmas only have DVI or VGA inputs and so I waited a long time to upgrade because I could not see a way to get audio to the TV. I stumbled on a solution at work with an HDMI audio breakout box and sure enough, a quick search on Amazon turned up the ViewHD HDMI Audio Extractor for about $30 that works perfectly and would also be a good solution for people using older projectors or other devices that do not have HDMI inputs. It is an additional cost, but for me it was well worth it for the extra performance of the Roku 3 and be able to keep the old plasma's working as I still think they have a better picture/refresh rate than most of the newer TV's.

Great but Not Without Glitches

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2016

I used a Netgear NeoTV device before this Roku and the Neo never once updated in those three years. In fact there didn't even appear to be an update available when I checked it shortly before replacing it. The Roku is just the opposite; it updates constantly, so much so that there's no on/off switch for it! It just goes dormant but is always connected.

Setting aside the vastly superior channel selection (about which I honestly don't care because what I really wanted was HBO Now), the things that distinguish the Roku are speed and usability. It is light years faster than the Neo, which is nice, and the point-anywhere remote is pretty cool. Awfully hard to shake the habit of pointing a remote at the TV, though.

Alas, as much as I have enjoyed this device thus far, it is not perfect. The headphone jack on the remote is a cool idea, but I have twice been using it and had the sound start to stutter and break up. Another time it failed to work entirely until I rebooted the device. And another time a program I was watching locked up and I could not get it to respond until I did a reboot. All that said, rebooting the Netgear was a frequent-enough task as well. The Roku is still superior by leaps and bounds.
