1. We have 3mbps pldt dsl plan, is the HD stream going to be smooth?
I don't have a Roku 3 yet, but I'll be able to let you know in a week or two how it works out for me. As far as HD streaming per se is involved, I can stream 1050p with little or not buffering, while anything higher than that would definitely have some serious buffering. I am also on a PLDT 3mbps plan

2. can i buy non-overpriced roku 3 in manila?
Nope. I had to get mine from the States, particularly from Sir Oreoshake, and I had to pay for the Product and the shipping, but it's still cheaper comparing it to the Roku 3 player they have for sale on Sulit

3. anyone using roku 3? what are the free channels in it?

Post by: edgarryan on Sep 02, 2014 at 02:48 PM: I don't have a Roku 3 yet, but I'm currently using Amazon Fire TV and a 3 Mbps PLDT connection. In my experience, the quality depends on the service you're using. For example, I seldom get HD quality on Netflix. I even consider it sub-SD quality, like watching a VCD copy. Hulu, on the other hand, is so much better. The images are crisp and clear, with the quality deteriorating only once in a while. Amazon Prime movies are better than Netflix, so if the movie is available in both, I'd watch it on Amazon Prime.

Post by: froshie1 on Jan 13, 2016 at 12:16 AM: Does it need to really be a Roku 3? I got an older model of Roku and it works with Netflix seamlessly with my 3mbps plan before it became the 5mbps plan of PLDT today. :--]]]
