Based on what you are describing, the problem lies with the very long HDMI cable. I bet a Roku 4 player will give you the same results you have seen with your Roku 3. Consider replacing the HDMI cable with a higher speed HDMI cable (or use an HDMI amplifier) and you should be able to get 1080p to work fine. As an alternative, I read you could do HDMI over Ethernet (Cat-6 or higher; Cat 5e is not good enough) for long distances. (Anything greater than 25ft is considered a long distance)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I cannot specifically speak to your configuration; however, I have a Roku Ultra connected via HDMI and displaying through a Denon receiver at 1080p with no flicker. I run across a 1Gbps switched (wired) network with 400Mbps internet connection.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Roku Ultra has a much faster process and more memory but I think your issue may be with the length of your HDMI cable. I would try to use a 6`-10' cable and see if they fix the issue. If it does then you may need to get a signal amp to booth your HD signal. Then the decision is just if you want the newer Roku or not.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I can say my Roku Elite has no flicker at 1080 and I find the picture quality beter, but sorry to say my HDMI cord is much shorter, I so enjoy this Elite, hopefully that wasn't to vague and encourages you to give it a try, you won't be disappointed with the new upgrade and the speak into remote rocks. And knowing Best Buy as I do they would take the Roku back if it did not work correctly and give the best picture for you..
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
