TOKYO: The Roku 2 is just as fast as the Roku 3 and its lower price makes it a better overall value. 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. Search is the best on the market, hitting 17 services and arranging results by price. Voice search is available from the free Roku app.
It loses the analog outputs and headphone jack remote of the original Roku 2 and the voice search remote of the Roku 3. The Fire TV offers a wider list of games and a captive portal feature for easy hotel Wi-Fi access.
A nearly perfect mix of speed, features, price and ecosystem make the Roku 2 favourite streaming device yet.
