I basically just have streaming services. I’ll be adding Vuit when I get home from work. I’ll also be adding Infuse. Both of which I saw mentioned here. Other than that, just the streaming apps I tend to watch. I know a couple are redundant.
Apple TV+ hasn’t put out a decent show in months? Really? Are you on crack?
Apple TV+ is an app. ONE app. The Apple TV 4K is a streaming device for ALL your streaming services. No comparison.
I have the Apple TV 4k 3rd Gen from last year with the “new” usb -c remote. I got it Nov 14, 2022. Never had an issue with the remote disconnecting.
Apple TV 4K 3rd Gen was released 1 year ago (November 4, 2022).
Pretty much the same for me. AndroidTV/GoogleTV has been a mess since the first time I used it years ago. Whether through a built-in OS on a TV or through Chromecast w/GoogleTV. I have an iPad and a Mac Mini. I don’t know why it took me until the AppleTV 4K 3rd generation to buy one.
The lag with AndroidTV/GoogleTV is more than annoying. Whether it’s with the OS loading when turned on, or when scrolling, or when opening apps… it’s more than enough to piss me off. AppleTV’s OS is super quick, snappy, fast to load on first boot, apps open lightning quick, scrolling is buttery smooth, and picture is far superior to that of AndroidTV/GoogleTV.
I recently got a new Hisense 65" U6K TV. It has GoogleTV OS. Upon initial set-up, I signed in to GoogleTV just for the purpose of getting the TV ready to use. I installed none of my apps on GoogleTV. Once up and running, I plugged in my AppleTV 4K and set the TV to open on “last used input.” So when the TV is turned on, it opens directly to AppleTV.
On a side note… while ROKU TV is not as good as AppleTV, it’s a relatively close second. The ROKU TV Ultra is being used on my bedroom TV. Bottom line, AppleTV 4K is a joy to use. I could never see myself returning to the mess that is AndroidTV/GoogleTV.
