Jadoo TV 3 Box review

It seems like Jadoo TV has gained a lot of popularity in the recent years . When I purchased the first Jadoo TV back in 2007  it was very sluggish and I had to reboot the box several times to get it to work. I would also like to mention that I have Verizon FIOS at that time which was the fastest internet connection that I could get . But , today I own Jadoo TV 3 box and I am very impressed with it . There are several reasons for that and I will mention all of them in this post .
   
     The first and the most important reason for me to like the Jadoo TV 3 box is that it is very stylish and is slightly bigger and a bit heavier than the Jadoo TV 1 and 2 . It has a steel body and feels like a real HD box that can withstand the pressure from all the wires connected with it .

     The second reason is that it is truly a high definition box , because it has an HDMI output at the back of the box . In the past Jadoo TV has claimed to be HD , but to be honest I was not impressed with the picture quality until now.  The output is truly 1080p because my HD TV has no problems displaying the picture. Even if you do not have the HDMI connections in your TV set , there is no need to worry as the box provides the analog  video and audio outputs.

   Just like the older versions of Jadoo Tv , this one also has the ability to connect to the Internet via a Ethernet hardwired connection , or a USB wireless connection . So the user has a choice to pick either one . I personally recommend the hard wire Ethernet connection as it is more stable and it will produce the best speed .

   Jadoo TV software has introduced a few new things in the newer box and it is Jadoo Live , myJadoo , and Jadoo Flix . The interface is very user friendly and you can easily toggle around with the remote control . The display is very impressive as it not only displays the options , but also tells you about the current time , date and the weather conditions in your area. The categories are very well organized and  the best of all , most of the channels are streamed . The newer feature that Jadoo 3 box that I really like is that you can download third party apps on your box now and play your favorite content , this will give you option to download Netflix , facebook , youtube and much more .

    The new remote control is also very useful as it has many short cut keys on it . It is bigger than the older ones and also has the glowing LED buttons that can be used in dark . You can take a look at the new remote control here Jadoo TV Remote.

   In short , the new Jadoo TV is a great HD box and I personally recommend it to everyone . At the time of this post the price of Jadoo TV 3 is $199 with free shipping . There is still a lot of room for improvement , I would love my Jadoo box to be able to record a specific program , and to be able to toggle between channels at a faster rate . Hopefully in Jadoo Box 4 we can enjoy all these features and much more . Be sure to post your thoughts about the Jadoo 3 box here .
