How are all of these devices Roku, ATV, ChromeCast, FireTV, etc... still around? Don't most TV now come with built in SmartTV at fraction of the cost they use to be a few years ago. I have a Samsung LED SmartTV that I purchased a few year ago has built-in wifi, and just about all the same channels as the competitors devices. Now that same TV that I spent $700+ is now less than $300.
I got a FireTV Stick for $19 during the Prime member pre-order deal... but I have zero clue what to do with, why because all my devices (Macbook Pro, Mac Mini, iPad, iPhone, Windows Computers, XBoxOne, Smart TVs) do the exact same thing as this Stick. Brings me back to Apple TV, I want one but its not doing anything unique or am I overlooking something?
I have two smart TVs and a Blu-Ray player that has all the same apps that my TVs do. I rarely use the apps though and just watch what I have purchased through iTunes on my ATV.
This function is the one thing none of those other boxes can do.
