If the video was choppy, it is most likely that your ISP isn't giving you a steady feed. My boss has 30Mbps service in Hawaii and video from various sources is choppy there too.

I had initially considered that as a possibility. But video from the same source (Netflix) is smooth on my Tivo Series 3, and was choppy on the Roku. Same internet connection, different boxes, different results.
Both WiFi? Ethernet?
I'd say you may have had a bad box if it is not the connection. That is certainly not typical of a roku.

(Stand by for the most insignificant post ever about to be presented by ME)...
...Nice to have improved hardware (if my programming needs ask for it, probably not)....
...As long as they keep the built in "wall mount"...(why buy one, though I DO think the creativity of someone making them was purely genius of money making)...
So, I didn't want the heat from the roku 2 (warm, as you know) to ever cause an issue on the cool retro TV. It was originally setting on top of the plastic cabinet...
One small "zip tie" through the roku logo, one thumbtack, and one Roku, with GOOD, usable signal....HIDDEN!
(Couldn't put it under the set, it didn't get signal. Probably the jukebox metal blocking it from the left.)
There. A totally insignificant post about a totally insignificant thing...the placement of a Roku! (and no money spent for an official Roku "mount.")
IR remote still works fine, it bounces off the white walls, apparently.
Now back to our more important, "real" thread about new Roku hardware...

I tried it watching Netflix over ethernet for both the Tivo Series 3 and the Roku.
I called Roku and they didn't have a solution.
