Just curious if I made a mistake snagging two 3rd gen Apple TVs. I didn't wanna spend $100+ so that was the main appeal. I was looking at FireTv, Chromecast, Roku boxes etc. Settled on the Apple TV since I own a lot of iTunes movies and TV shows. My question is... Will Netflix, Hulu, YouTube and others continue to work even if it doesn't get updated? Do older original Apple TVs still work? Still have lots of time to exchange it if needed.

Thanks in advance

Yes.

As long as the devs support it, it will work.
 
I think it should be ok. Depends whether or not you feel it is slow now or not.

I think it should be fine.


My family has an ATV3 and it runs awesome still.
