Roku 3 VS Apple TV content

[jeanres]

I am pondering getting rid of my Apple TVs, what content does the Roku 3 have that the Apple TV does not have, or what channels do you subscribe to on the Roku 3?

Can't remember the difference, but after getting 2 Roku's I got an ATV3. Week later I sold it and have purchased another 2 Roku's. ATV was a pain in the butt.

The Amazon Fire TV is looking like a much more versatile device at this stage. Apparently XBMC is already running on the box which should allow access to a much wider range of streaming services than either the Apple TV or the Roku.

There is only one reason imo why you would buy an ATV and that is Airplay. If you don't have any Apple devices then I see no reason why you would want an ATV.

+1, airplay works like a dream I must say.

Only downside to the Roku is you can't set up unodns on the device. So if you have for example mweb"s FON router then you are snookered. Check before you change.
