Roku has been a popular name in the digital media streaming industry for quite some time now. Having launched more than 10 models of digital streaming boxes since 2008, Roku was the first company to launch a digital player capable of streaming movies from Netflix. In March, 2013, Roku added a newly designed streaming player to the far-famed lineup of media players. Roku 3, the third generation media player, was launched exclusively for HDTVs. Boasting a central processing unit that is five times faster than Roku 2 XD and Roku 2 XS, Roku 3 has a Wi-Fi Direct compatible remote with an earphone jack.
