Yes! Most people here probably won't agree (in the wrong subreddit lol), but I am looking to make the switch away from my Roku 3.
The Roku 3 was awesome when it came out, but the competition has surpassed it since it's launch. If you are very price sensitive and you can get a Roku 3 for ~$60 then I think it's justifiable. Otherwise hell no!
Here are the alternatives:
In my opinion ANY of the above devices are better than the Roku 3. I got mine before the Chromecast launched. Since then the Amazon Fire TV came out and now Google Player has launched. Don't get me wrong, I loved my Roku when I first got it and I think it was a damn good device in its day. But it is clearly in need of a refresh, and I'm not sure Roku is up to the task of competing with the 800lb gorillas that are fighting tooth and nail in this space.
Just for good measure here are some major gripes I have with my Roku 3:
TL;DR: There is no reason to buy a Roku 3 at this time.
Firstly I would get a "wifi channel scanner" app like Wifi Analyzer for Android, or anything that has a similar graphic to this. Find a channel that has the least amount of SSIDs on it, but try to stick to 1, 6, and 11 to avoid overlapping 2 channels at once. You can get a full signal but have horrible transfer ("tx") rates if it's too congested.
If that doesn't help you can look into something like Ethernet over power. Then you don't have to worry about only 1 device not working with wifi but everything else is fine. Plus better speed for video streaming.
Lastly, the most complicated option, installing DD-WRT on the router so you can get more control options and more in depth feedback, type in the model number here to see if it's supported, then check out some tutorials or videos on YouTube, it's very popular so there's going to be a lot of help available. Only do it if you're comfortable, and are ok with the possibility that it could "brick" the router. It's a fantastic tool even if you never use 90% of the added features, plus it's free.
On Kodi (not on Roku, but can be installed on cheap android sticks) there is an addon named Pseudotv that should do exactly this. It can also "build TV channels" around internet streams. Be sure not to stream illegal content (a lot of youtube videos showing how) and get your mother in law in trouble. Should work great for local content.
If you use a windows based HDMI stick (maybe with a cheap flash drive for storage, there is a nifty Pseudotv library tool.
Note, this can be accomplished without a windows stick for a lot cheaper, using an android stick, and you get better app support (windows 10 apps do not support remote controls out of the box. If you go that route use this to enable remote support in netflix)
There are a lot of options when it comes to client/server setup.
The quad-core streaming stick is currently $40 on Amazon. Be a good kid and buy them a new one. Looks like Best Buy has them for the same price. It will be a MUCH better experience than the purple one which I believe came out in 2012.
https://www.amazon.com/Roku-Streaming-Stick-3600R-Quad-Core/dp/B01DA0YCNC
still, it's very compelling even if you are not an amazon prime member. if i didn't already have a roku3 i would buy the amazon box, since i'm just watching a third party subscription on them (netflix+hulu), so who provides the $100 box means nothing as long as it's got the best possible specs inside.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CX5P8FC
amazon's comparison chart has a few obvious mistakes. i do get bloomberg tv and pandora on my roku, while hbo go only works in your house if you already have a cabletv subscription in your hose. i think roku will finally have to come out with a keyboard if they want to compete with voice recognition.
Watching OTA channels is as simple as hooking up an antenna to your TV. If you want to record OTA, you can build a MythTV box or buy something like this
Now if you want to be able to stream content to different TV's in your house, something like Simple.TV might be what you're looking for. The Simple.TV hardware is made my Silicon Dust (aka HDHomerun).
Thanks, man! Would chromecast be a just as good alternative as a roku 2? Pardon the stupid question.
Edit: Is this it? Like I said, I'm an absolute idiot. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01LZFXLZ1/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1485136947&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=chrome+cast&dpPl=1&dpID=411RNgayN8L&ref=plSrch
Or this

I have a Samsung Galaxy J7, btw. It supports mirror cast through wi-fi direct.
Which Roku are you using? That sounds a lot like my experiences with the CW app. I found our newer Roku 2 2720R, and the app seems to work fine there. I'm starting to wonder if the apps aren't backwards compatible, basically. Our older model was the the Roku 2 XS.
You can buy directly from Amazon these days. And as for power supply it supports 240 so you can just buy an adaptor if you don't want to shell out for a new one.
Edit: amazon link for roku on sale. AUD$97 shipped.

It's the Roku 2 with the curvy shape instead of the more boxy one. It has the remote with the headphone jack. I can check in the morning for a model number.
Looks like this one, based on a quick Amazon search.
http://www.amazon.com/Roku-Streaming-Player-2720R-Headphone/dp/B00F5NB7MW/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Not directly from the headphone jack, but you can plug a SPDIF-to-headphone adapter into that jack and use that, something like https://www.amazon.com/PROZOR-Digital-Converter-Toslink-Adapter/dp/B00KNNSKV0
I see a few travel routers out there with vpn.

Edit. Not saying these are the best ones. But it's a start point.
The other option would be a raspberry pi based DIY variant.
Old link but proof of concept. https://makezine.com/projects/browse-anonymously-with-a-diy-raspberry-pi-vpntor-router/
I've heard good things about the Inteset INT-422, haven't used it myself though.
The Amazon Page lists the differences.
If you want to watch 1080p, you'll need at least the roku 1.
The main differences between the 1 and 3:
If those features are worth $40 to you, then go get the 3. If not, you can easily settle for a lesser model.
You can buy a "smart" power strip like this
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003P2UMQ2
so when the TV turns off it'll turn off everything else plugged into the strip.
>Roku HD Streaming Player
Does the device look like this one from 2012? https://www.amazon.com/Roku-Streaming-Player-Old-Model/dp/B007KEZMX4
I use this router with my VPN:
https://amzn.com/B01AL7P1FU
It work flawlessly.
And that's for "output"? No. In fact, looking a the specs, it seems to have SPDIF (optical) out though. Also says that it has a headphone jack (but I wonder if it's the crummy thing that might be on the remote, like with other Roku devices).
If so, you can buy devices to convert optical SPDIF to something else. In my case I wanted a mini-jack. I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KNNSKV0
The SD Card only stores programing info for the Roku's apps
If you want to view you media then you need a usb flash drive
I use this on my Roku 3
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BGTG2A0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The physical remotes use RF, not WiFi. The p607 supports the "enhanced" remote, which is RF, the p605 does not. I wish I had noticed that when I bought mine. I ended up using my Harmony + hub with the hub centered behind the TV because I ran into the same problem with the soundbar blocking the IR receiver.
Edit: Apparently the enhanced remote does work with the p605 according to comments on Amazon TCL BRC64 New Enhanced RF Remote Control Replacement for Roku TV

It's a Roku HD. This pre-dates the 1,2 and 3 naming scheme Roku now uses.
I have the same issues a have literally tried everything including hardwiring it. There is something seriously wrong with this firmware version. TV reset, Network reset, bought

The TV does the same thing. Nothing works and TCL said we can't repair your TV it's out of warranty. Umm it is not the TV it's the firmware.
This TV have been flawless till this firmware version.
Firmware v8.1.0 Build 4140
you could buy a smart power strip that senses when the TV is turned off, and thus cuts power to the Roku.
The phone app should work until you get something "better".
Here's something on Amazon I have no idea if it will work or not.
I can confirm that unfortunately global Roku search does not work on your Plex media.
When I moved my Roku to a bedroom I had to crank down the quality a bit (but still 1080p) to get it working reliably. This all depends on how good the signal is to your room.
An option to consider is that you can go with powerline adapters for a more reliable signal that would have no problem streaming the highest quality settings: http://smile.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-PA4010KIT-Powerline-Adapter-Starter/dp/B00AWRUICG/
I have three of these, no complaints.
