I have a 3rd gen and it works ok. It seems to buffer a lot lately, though, and I've been having an increasingly difficult time with streaming from my iPhone 7 plus via airplay with YouTube videos and other videos. Will upgrading to the 4th gen help with the issues I'm having with the 3rd gen?
Got a tip for us?

Thinking of buying 4th Gen Apple TV

I have three 3rd gens and one 4th gen in our media room. The 4th gen is a good amount quicker to load everything than the 3rd gens are. Also, since I cut cable I have noticed that a lot of companies are starting to only support the 4th gen because of the available App Store. For example, Sling TV, Direct TV Now, etc. Its been somewhat annoying but I guess its bound to happen sooner than later.
