Getting a dumb TV with an Apple TV box has been amazing.
No ads, just turn on, and play.
Of course you’d think “ew Apple”. I did but the Apple TV box is simply the best streaming device available right now. The only thing it can’t do easily is sideloading and VPNs, for those the Shield is still king.
I got most of my friends and family using AppleTVs. Every one of them loves it. Even the more hardcore Apple haters admit it’s a solid device.
It’s funny watching people complain all the problems they have with their TVs and here I am thinking “this has been solved problem for over 8 years”.
No UI ads. No tracking. Fluid UI. Dolby Vision. Great remote. Apps for playing back any file you want. Never going back. Get an AppleTV and enjoy using your TV again.

Arguably the most important things for most people. This is why I switched to Android in general, because sideloading has brought back apps that have updated and broke, or just simply stopped existing.
Sure, that makes sense for mobile devices but streaming boxes I highly recommend the Apple TV. You’re generally not gonna have the best experience trying to VPN to watch one single show on one single app compared to using other methods to watch that show instead.
