    I’m thinking about buying an Apple TV because I don’t like the built-in software on my TV, and “big corp that isn’t Google” sounds like a reasonable compromise between privacy and integration with big media providers.

      It’s the best available option. Which IMO describes almost all apple products. They are FAR from perfect. They are absolutely overpriced. The support has gone WAY downhill. But for privacy, durability, build quality, longevity, performance, reliability, ease of use, interoperability, and yes; support, they are the best thing out there.

      Apple TV is currently the best streaming box available and has been for a while. It’s also cheaper than other high-end options while providing excellent functionality.

      They’re pretty solid honestly. I chose a shield over one bc at the time I wanted some apps that required side loading, but now that I have an emby server that’s moot. The only thing I’m not a fan of is the touch remote, but they still have a remote app so I can just use my phone instead.
