My Roku 3 remote drained one pair of batteries coming with Roku box in 1/2 day. Then, it drained another pair of Durellcell in 3 days. Is this normal? The remote seems battery hunger even more than xbox360 stick. I haven't change the battery for apple TV remote over 2 years. I talked to Roku support. That lady tested…

I do not agree with everyone on here who states it is the head phone piece that is causing the batteries to go dead. I have had Roku 3 since it came out and I have noticed that if you leave the Roku 3 still connected to the box and No I do not use the earphones at all. My batteries are dead. I believe there is a defect in the remote because I have had to change batteries often compared to a regular tv remote. My tv remotes last over a year. My Roku 3 remote drains batteries no matter how you use it. I also have roku 2 stick and I have another roku 3 and the batteries do drain faster then a regular remote. This is a fact and the ear plugs or head phones have nothing to with the batteries draining on me since one Roku is in my living room and if I am watching it all day and night the batteries will die. My conclusion to this problem is First unplug the Roku 3 from the power cord or the second option is to take the batteries out once you are done watching the shows. We unplug the Roku 3 every night and place the cord under the box so we have easy access to it. What ever you decide to do Good luck!

will roku 3 stream computer screen content to tv

Yes, you should be able to do this if you have a laptop running Windows 8,1 with Miracast capabilities. In fact, I did this with the Roku 3 last night. I enabled Screen Mirroring in the Roku menu, and then went to the Charms bar on the laptop, Devices / Project, and clicked on the option to Add a wireless screen (your laptop must be connected to WiFi). It listed the Roku 3 as an option, I clicked on it, and a few seconds later my computer screen was showing on the TV.

what is the different between roku and tivo

TiVo is outstanding! I have a TiVo Bolt with external 14TB HD. I'm watching the Olympics and have over 1,000 hours recorded (at 30% full). The slow motion, freeze, freeze frame advance buttons are wonderful! I was watching various events and was able to see each call individually. The features allowed me to find the call and go frame by frame to see what occurred without any problem. I used to have both (different times) RCN 4K streaming and XFinity 4K streaming. Neither of them (nor any streaming box) allows for watching TV frame by frame or slow motion. TiVo is for those who love sports or other shows where the detail matters!

what is the difference between roku 2and 3

Roku 3 is meant for HD televisions only and Roku 2 can be used on virtually any TV.Roku has Ethernet, USB, and micro SD whereas Roku 2 does not have them. Roku 3 has motion control for games and Roku 2 does not. Roku is supposed to be able to stream faster than Roku 2, but that may be more of a matter of your Internet.
