minus-squarepup_atlas@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·8 months agoApple TV seems to be doing just fine. Considering investing in one. I don’t think it’s likely they’ll start putting ads in the hone screen and such.
minus-squareMajestic@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8 months agoI really like the one I have. A relative has a much older model and it still works fine too. It’s very responsive and the 4k models are quite powerful and future proofed IMO. If you have an iPhone you can quickly use it as a remote too. Paired with infuse app it even does local streaming from my media server well. And it’s cheaper to get this year’s top of the line Apple TV than it is the 2019 Nividia shield pro.
minus-squareknotthatone@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 months agoI’m converting from Firesticks once the new Apple TVs come out. I’m sick of the constant upselling and Amazon’s been putting much more effort into blocking me from using a custom launcher than basic stability and usability.
