Any roku owners here?
My Roku 3 arrived a couple of days ago, subscribed to Unblock-US and Netlfix and its now giving me sleepless nights! Quality of video depends o the capacity of your broadband, so far I am getting HD quality. I am yet to check other channels like HBO Go and Hulu Plus, so far I am very amazed with this very small but very capable device.
Roku 3 on top of my ever reliable Egreat R6s- maliit na yung R6 ha, pero mas maliit pa din ng di hamak yung Roku

Roku 1 owner here. Subscribed to Unotelly, then Hulu Plus. But eversince they included History Channel at the start of this year, i am just spending nights watching episodes of American Restoration, Pawn Stars, and other interesting H2 shows! Havent tried Netflix. Still waiting for Youtube to be available in my Roku. :)

how'd you get your VPN to play sa Roku? I used VPN and netflix before but via pc.

sakin sir Router--> Roku--> Netflix
I just set up my Router to have the supplied DNS ng Unblok-US, then set up Netlfix account first before turning the Roku player on then link them, that's it. I tried it with my xbox pero mas mataas ang cost kasi apart sa Netflix at vpn kelangan pa ng xbox gold live subscription, also tried it with my VT60 tv pero I cant change the Region of my TV kaya di ma-DL ang Netflix.

sir di mo ba kailangan I-link sa active subscription yung s History channel? I tried browsing, parang limited lang yung "ublocked" episodes

Korek sir, nagtya tyaga lang muna ako sa Unlocked Episodes. Medyo marami rami naman yung episodes nung mga popular shows nila na na access ko, so no complain here so far :)

Ano ang minimum internet speed required for this?

Ano ang minimum internet speed required for this?
Sir Nelson,
Yung PLDT-DSL namin sa bahay is 5-MBPS plan.
Kapag wala akong torrent DL walang buffer yung HD TV series or movies na pinapanood namin.
Pero kapag may torrent DL ako na around 600kbps ang DL speed, ayun gapang si Roku, hehehe ;D

Need mo ng mga 50mbps para di maglag yan kahit na namamax ung dl and sabayan ng streaming ng netflix walang problema sa lag ung streaming.

Naku kuntento na ko sa speed ko ngayon.
I won't pay more than 10K a month for that 50mbps speed para lang hindi magLAG yung video streaming ng ROKU ;D :P

sir louie u mean to say a 5mbps dsl ok na ang HD streaming w/dis device? and sorry for the OT folks if u have the xbox live gold subscription do u still have to pay for netflix, hulu plus etc. to avail their service?
-

pre yes, double cost ka sa Xbox- apart sa Netflix at DNS, bayad kappa sa live gold subscription mo. I initially wanted to go that route pero di ko tinuloy.
-
i see..mas mura pala if u go w/ roku or apple tv, thanks for your answer brod. anchit. now the question about the 5mbps dsl plan i was intrigue when sir louie state that his happy w/his current dsl 5mbps plan.
-
btw sir anchit bad ass tv you had there, i think it's a 65VT60 is that right sir? hehehe
-
I have a 5mbps plan at home. Wag mo lang sabayan ng download, ok na ok na ang streaming ng Roku with this speed.
-

Based from my experience brader ok samin yung 5mbps PLDT-DSL considering wala kang other downloads na ginagawa while watching through Roku ;)
-
wow..ok this is good news, currently my plan is the 999 only w/c is the 3mbps dsl.
-

Salamat sir. Oo iniraos lang, di pa bayad. XD

I just came upon this and some might be interested in adding private channels.

Thanks for sharing this titor. I recently added channels available at Roku website which i haven't explored all yet but it's nice to know i can still add more thru private channels.
Btw, my set up is PLDT fiber ONU Modem 8Mbps (Bridge mode)--> Extreme (on Unblock US) --> Roku 3. I'm still on the 7day free trial from Unblock us but will eventually subscribe.

@ Anchit Medyo OT: Same here, di ko rin ma-setup yung LG 3D smart tv to download the Netflix app and try to change Region. So yun pala yun. I can browse my Netflix account sa web browser ng TV but worn't play any movie. Pandora is working so i know connected yung TV sa Unblock US.

yes sir same na same tayo ng issue. i can also open netflix sa browser pero di nagpeplay ang mga files. so roku talaga ang sagot sa problema sa buhay. :) meorn dito sa isang forum na samsung users, they are able to change the region and DL Netflix,,

anong local store available to? would this be a better option for Netflix streaming than the minix neo7?
-
meron bang HGTV?
-

sadly its not available locally kasi most of its content are locked in the US region. im not sure about minix, in my perespective, Netflix works like a charm with Roku, parang ginawa sila for each other eh. and you dont just get netflix, dami pang ibang channel.

Will the Roku 3 detect/read/play HD movies stored in my NAS within the same network?
-
mga sir question on netflix subscription. paypal ang gamit nyo? meron ako paypal ph account.

mmmm i just used a Non US issued CC. havent tried paypal.
Pero ngayon mga sir, may problema ang roku at Netflix, ilang araw ng walang connection.
-
sirs, question lang po ... besides Netflix, are there a lot of other stations that you can access without needing a US IP address that would make Roku worth buying ... i'll be in US starting 2nd week of May and considering purchasing one if it's worth it, and i just don't want to depend on Netflix as source ... thanks in advance

Heto yung mga madalas ko na ginagamit na tingin ko hindi kelangan ng US IP:
CNET
Youtube
Pandora
News
Sir if you wont really get a US IP, baka pwede na yung Roku Stick sayo, its cheaper, 49usd lang.

hi, can you just use roku as a normal hd player? like playing downloaded movies from the hdd, or stream downloaded movies from a pc in the same network?

Sir, sorry newbie question.
I am using PLDTMYdsl, how do i configure my router for the unblok-us? I plan to get unblok-us, but dunno how to configure into my router.
Appreciate the help. Salamat!

A bit risky since you need to flash your router. I tried it and bricked it. bye bye... easiest way is to buy a dd-wrt router. but fyi hindi roku gamit ko i wanted to watch netflix using my ipad. but it should be the same (i think)
-
I bought a Roku 3 (c/o Sir Oreoshake), and I'm waiting for it to arrive here, I'll provide updates on how everything works out. As a safety measure, I've successfully blocked the DNS servers that Roku is known to access on my Linksys-Cisco router (keeping my fingers crossed).
I'm already subscribed to Unblock-us, and so far OK naman yung experience namin with watching Netflix, Hulu, PBS, etc. over iPad and Laptop.
I'll be getting my Roku 3 in a week or two, I'll keep you posted by then. :)
-
I have a question. Do you plug your Roku 3 straight into 220v or do you use a stepdown transformer? Thanks!

pards ang alam ko autovolt, yung sakin bought sa ebay US shipped dito sa australia, since magkaiba ng prong, adaptor lang ginamit ko. wala naman problema.

Guys,
Any of you using Globe DSL for your Roku/video streaming? I'll appreciate feedback. Thanks.
-
how'd you get your VPN to play sa Roku? I used VPN and netflix before but via pc.
Same here. We have Netflix Canada that sucks so I prefer US Netfllix. I can access US Netflix thru VPN via PC. Di ko alam kung paano i-tweak yong ISP supplied fiber optic router na diretso makaconnect sa US netflix without using VPN thru PC. Any tip how to DIY your router would be very much appreciated.
BTW, Roku 3 owner here and bought it just to watch 3ABN religious channel.

Meron mga nagbebenta sa OLX and TPC. Even saw a Roku 4 for sale.

use a smart DNS over VPN like Getflix. I think its a better option for Roku

I bought the new Chromecast, kasi nadala ako sa reviews. But on second thought, dapat yata Roku 3 (2015) pala mas gusto ko (Roku 4 is 4K, pero hindi naman 4K ang mga TV ko).
- Makaka tipid ba talaga ako? I plan to disconnect my Sky Dual Def (~1.2k monthly). Will use Roku for movies, NBA, US TV shows, etc, and rely on ABS CBN Blackbox for my local channels. Pero I need to subscribe to VPN, and NBA League Pass. I may need to subscribe to Netflix pa, or other services. Hindi kaya ako mapa-mahal?
- I'm also worried about bandwidth. I'm already on Fibr, but baka ma affect ang Roku viewing ko when others start using the internet. Malakas pa naman mag YouTube mga anak ko. I was thinking of setting aside 10Mbps for the Roku sa QOS nang router.
- Lastly, yung mga Netflix movies ba discreet 5.1 ba? If stereo lang ang mga Roku content, medyo deal breaker for me. I also want to rely on Roku for movies, to reduce my HDD/torrent use.
Sana mag maka sagot. Thanks.

- Tama, mapapamahal ka. NGA league pass, Hulu, HBO, ESPN Netflix, lahat yan nasa 12dollars per month.

- kayang kaya, ako madalas 2 kameng naka Netflix, naka youtube etc kaya naan ng cable internet ditto na 10mbps.

- hindi pa ako nakakasubok kasi wala akong set up ditto sa OZland.

Mukha ngang dapat Roku binili mo brader. Chromecast is taga bato lang naman ng content ng phone mo to your tv. At least Roku stick, kesa Chromecast.

Thank you sir! Sana may maka confirm if meron discrete audio ang Roku. I would assume yes, kasi meron naman toslink out.

Im planning to buy a Roku stick +, marami pa rin bang channel apps ang gagana, pati yung mga movies and tv show free streaming channels sa Roku? The likes of PlutoTV, etc. ng hindi gagamitan ng VPN?

Roku here is pretty much useless without a VPN. Cant access the USA shows.
-
not if you're just after netflix and youtube, both in 4k.

bro, hows the performance? i believe this can passthrough the Atmos to the receiver.

yes sir, it can pass through Atmos over HDMI ... I have both an Ultra and Premiere Plus ... both models can pass through Atmos signals ... yung main difference lang na nakikita ko is mas responsive yung Ultra and have more internal memory - yung Premiere Plus would require you to have an SD card if you are installing a lot of apps/channels ... been using the device for probably 2 years, very satisfied
only drawback ng mga Roku's is the battery life of the remote - make sure to have spare batteries on standby ... option is use a mobile app for remote

Got now the Roku Ultra. yes nice video. my netflix account is premium but i cant seem to have the roku stream dolby atmos. my windows can do it nicely to my DA capable receiver.

Any advice on how to get my Roku stream Netflix Dolby Atmos? My laptop and Desktop can do it, bakit ito hindi? Naka auto detect audio ko sa Roku.
-
AFAIK kaunting devices lang nagsusupport ng Netflix ATMOS
-
Netflix Dolby Atmos playback is currently only supported via the Apple TV 4K (with tvOS 12 or later), LG OLED TVs (2017 or newer), Sony BRAVIA Android TVs (2018 models), the Pixela 4K Smart Tuner, the Windows 10 app (requires Windows 10 RS3 Build 16299 or later), or Xbox One, Xbox One S, and Xbox One X game consoles. - from Hifidigest

I have a Roku Ultra LT and it is nice. When I used it for the first time, I do not have access on US channels. So I have set-up a Smart DNS on my TP Link 5400 router but I think i have to reset (reconfigure back to stock) my Roku since it is still regionally restricted. Am I right?

I have a couple of Roku devices at home. As long as you have Smart DNS configured with the region of the apps you plan to use pointed at the right country, Roku would work. I used to have my Hulu, SlingTV, and Pluto TV setup on Roku, but with the advent of IPTV's, Netflix, and Disney+, I stopped using my Roku's and are just sitting idle at home.
-
was given a Roku stick recently. got nothing showing on it but Netflix and Youtube. Can't get any other apps installed like HBO, Disney+ etc....
after ko ma-enable ang developer option nawalan na din ako gana to explore pa how i can sideload apps. its too restricted and outclassed by other streaming devices.
