If you like to have Roku know everything what you do through their device, I guess is fine. Privacy is important to me, so I'm sticking with Apple products.
I don’t see why people care about this though. I don’t use a Roku but that wouldn’t stop me. So they know my favorite tv shows? How does that matter?
I use it to stream offline content on a NAS to my smart TV using Firecore's Infuse. It works flawlessly.
Don’t know about you, but content load times have slowed down quite a bit. My parents wanted to buy my 2017 ATV4K (they currently have a Roku) so that makes the cost of the new one justifiable.
So I have a 2021 ATV4K and my 2022 is en route for delivery tomorrow, so I am clearly a fan of ATVs. But I also have an LG C1 OLED and it's ironic you posted this, because the exact opposite is true for Amazon Prime app. The ATV app does not support Dolby Vision, but the LG C1 prime app does. Also Netflix app has historically had problem with audio dropouts on Dolby Atmos being fed to AV receivers (I haven't used it for a few months now so I'm not sure if this has been fixed in the most recent versions) but the LG C1's Netflix app plays Atmos flawlessly to my Denon.
Right, ports need to optimized for the platform in order to run well. It shocks me as many games are ported from iOS to tvOS as it is because there's basically no market. I suppose the only reason we have any ports to TVos at all is likely because they aren't that expensive to release by forgoing optimization. The only issue would be supporting/optimizing touch controls and MFi. Apple is definitely not very serious about this market even though they constantly mention it just to keep the door open one presumes. Considering the small user base the Apple TV already has, which shrinks to almost nothing when you ask who plays games on it regularly, I just don't see them ever prioritizing this unless the underlying tech of small low power SOCs leaps forward in graphics performance. Personally every time I've tried playing games on Apple TV 4k(2nd gen) just to see how it is, it's reminiscent of using an Android device. Choppy, buggy, uneven performance. It lags the heck out of the box too if you leave the apps open in background.
I 100% agree. Can't tell you how many TV's I've owned from companies that suddenly have bugs because of some firmware update that they then never go back and fix because they've moved on to their next gen model which is also buggy. I've bought like 15 TCL, Hisense, Samsung, Vizio displays in last 5 years or so which is because I kept moving and sell my wall mounted sets to buyers for a good recovery price. TCL in particular has been VERY bad about this. Time will tell with HiSense, but I might leave them offline.
Here's an a example: https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Desig...Q==&sprefix=siri+remote+cover,aps,202&sr=8-16
Yes, it's a cover. So WHAT? I solves the problem.
I just picked up a C2 last month and what a magnificent beast it is! I pulled the trigger shortly after on a 4K ATV and I have to say that it surpasses the LG OS by leaps and bounds.
