Is there a reason to prefer the Streaming Stick to the Roku 3 with this Oppo player?

You get the added benefit of the Oppo video processing, also you can control the player and roku from one remote as well. Ive moved my roku 3 tp a different room and used the streaming stick with the oppo.

I think so. I stream using a Roku so I don't have first-hand experience with this.

It provides NetFlix if you subscribe to it plus a lot of other apps. Pandora, HBOGo, etc.. The benefit of the stick is that you don't need the Roku box. Just plug the stick directly into your OPPO. We love it and get a lot of use with it. Check out the Roku website.

Roku 3 have: higher price tag, faster processor speed, USB port, only hd (hdmi only), ethernet port, ... But the same content.Roku 2 works fine only WiFi, no USB, rca sd output, both have headphone Jack in the remote control, for wireless listening. This us a conflict solver at bedroom ;-)

https://www.roku.com/products/compareRoku 3 has Ethernet, USB, MicroSD, faster processor, motion controller (presumably a remote that is like a Wii remote), and ability to 'cast' Netflix and YouTube from another device. And it's HDTV(HDMI) only (Roku2 has a composite video out AND HDMI)

If you don't already own the Streaming stick, Roku is coming out with a new one that goes in a regular HDMI port. You can "pre-order" one right now. If you do already have the streaming stick, this might help you identify the Roku Ready TVs. http://www.roku.com/roku-ready/devices#!/tv

It would depend on the hotel has both Wifi and HDTVs with a MHL port. MHL looks like USB ports but are only on some TVs and the Roku Streaming Stick will not work with a standard USB port. Apparently this is needed for the two devices to control each other.

It depends on what is important to you. If streaming movies in important to you I suggest the BDP-103. The BDP-83 does not have streaming capability built in. However, you can connect it to a router but then the money you save purchasing the 83 will be spent purchasing a router. I suggest that you call OPPO. They are extremely helpful and will not try to sell you something that you don't need. I must say that OPPO makes an excellent player. Don't be surprised of the weight. The case is made of metal which makes it heavier than most players on the market. Plus OPPO players are made in USA. I have two OPPO blu-ray players and I couldn't be happier.

I have never been able to stream with the Roku I purchased from Amazon a couple of years ago. It is just sitting by my television. I do have a smart TV now by Samsung so I really do not need the devise anymore. Sorry I cannot answer this question.

Jean, Sorry, but the EH6070 does not have the Smart features for a web interface, required for streaming video. I had a 6070 for a short time, for the 3D features. I tried several brands/models of 3D sets, but was just not that impressed. I ended up trading in for a Samsung UN46EH6000. It does not have 3D or Smart features, it is just a good basic LCD set. If you want 3D and Smart features, you will need to move up to the UN46ES6500 or better. If you want Smart features but don't really care about 3D, you could drop back to the UN46EH5300 2D set. Another alternative would be to keep the 6070 and by a Roku. I subscribe to Netflix and Amazon, and I have a Roku 2 XS for streaming. I chose the XS because I run wired Ethernet for my system and it has both wired and wireless interfaces. If you decide to get a Roku and you run wireless, there are cheaper models of Roku that are wireless only. Roku also supports Vudu, Hulu Plus, HBOGo (if your ISP supports HBOGo) and other paid services. There is also support for a huge number of free entertainment channels. I have been very happy with the Roku. The Roku units have HDMI output. I run mine through an AV receiver, but it could also be plugged directly into the second HDMI input on the TV. Sorry I could not give you good news about streaming with only the TV. Hope this helps. Charlie

O.K. I can not answer this question but thought maybe I could ask something along this line...I am NOT a tech person so don't laugh at me. What is a Fire/ROKU stick do? Maybe you Kathy can let me know...I get basic cable on it.

I rarely use my PLAir 2 anymore. They need to make additional updates for stability on the device as well as the remote software. Never tried it with MLB.TV. I'd just get another ROKU. The new ROKU stick is amazingly good.

No. You have to get a Roku streaming stick. A streaming stick like aroku 3400m. you don't need the player. I have not bought the stick yet but that is all you need

No you can't I highly suggest a roku box over this one... this one has the few apps listed and hasn't updated in the year or so I have had it

Yes it is ,,,But the Roku 3 is so small it can sit on the shelf or or any where close to your internet wireless signal and connect the HDMI cable to the TV. Unobtrusive

The differences are on the Roku site. The XD has exended range wireless, that's what I would go with. http://shop.roku.com/Roku-Streaming-Player-Options-W5.aspx
