Compared with the Roku XD, the Roku 3 seems absolutely fleet-footed, thanks to a new, faster dual-core processor that provides an ultra-responsive feel. Whether you're searching for content, moving through the various channels, or loading Netflix videos, the Roku 3 reacts to commands almost instantaneously. (It's possible that the 5-GHz Wi-Fi also helps to speed things up.) Late last year, the company upped its search capabilities: When you look for a movie or TV show, the player searches across all available channels. To widen the search, you can add more channels, since results are displayed only for those channels that are installed. The new interface has a more intuitive, graphically rich tile-based menu system. In addition to the faster processor, the Roku 3 features a simpler, more intuitive interface that's a joy to use. It's a definite upgrade from the previous interface, and one that all Roku owners will be able to be able to enjoy sometime in April, when an upgrade for other Roku players is released.
