Smart TVs are all well and good, but when ad-focused update lobotomized my new-ish Android TV, we hit a problem.

      I am not an Apple guy but AppleTV is the best “out of the box” streaming device on the market and it’s not even close. Really the only thing I have against it is that Apple changed IP control to require HomeKit.

      For us nerds, an HTPC is hard to beat…but for everyone else, I recommend an AppleTV.

      Absolutely. 4 or 5 years ago I got myself the current firetv stick 4K because my tv had an absolutely terrible smart tv platform (slow, almost no recognizable apps). After a month or so, I sold it to a friend, bought an AppleTV and never looked back.
