I really love ours (64 GB & 32 GB), save for the apps being behind those for the previous ATV's. I guess that's not an Apple thing, but an app developer thing. Neither HBO GO nor Showtime Anytime have autoplay on the ATV4.
I like to put my favorite shows on as I drift off to sleep. I'll start a Curb Your Enthusiasm on HBO GO, set the TV sleep timer, and off to dreamland it is. With the ATV3 it will play episode after episode continuously until the TV shuts off. The ATV4 will play one episode and then go back to the show's menu. The ATV4 has been out for about 7 months now, and the app developers can't get autoplay going(?) Netflix & Hulu have it. I have no idea why some of the others haven't gotten up to date.
So in my bedroom I keep an ATV3 and/or Amazon Fire TV hooked up, just so I can have the autoplay.
As far as the remote goes, it's touchy. I don't hate it, but it's got its drawbacks. Love Siri (makes getting to a movie or show much faster). I put white hockey tape around the bottom (non touch screen part) of the remote to make it easier to grasp, easier to find, and easier to tell which end is which. Works great. I didn't get the hate for the previous remote. I liked the look and the feel of the aluminum. My only gripes were that it was slick and, given the thinness, easy to lose.
