    Google TV is the least worst option in terms of open source optionality, Apple TV is best for privacy as is

        Because as of now their main financial structure isnt based on selling personal information for ads. They make most there money selling products and services. And I think trust isn’t the right word. Apple is normally the least shitty out of all the shitty big tech companies with modern day convenience.

          Again, how do you know that? Cook gave a gold bar to trump, they’re not a good company.

        They’re the only mainstream hardware company that takes user privacy seriously. Bad on right to repair and openness though

        Why tf does everyone trust apple for anything? They’re a pretty awful company.

          Why do you think that? Is that what you’ve heard or do you know that?

            They’re the only truly mainstream company with E2EE backups among other things. iOS is also much more secure than stock android, only Graphene OS is better.

      Is Apple TV hardware any good because the app is appallingly bad. Even on a gigabit network connection it will drop connectivity and lag out. If you pause for more than about 1 minute it crashes and kicks you back into the main menu. It never seems to keep track of current shows and just shows a bunch of irrelevant stuff at the top which you have to always scroll past in order to get to what you actually want.

      It makes Amazon TV look like a well polished product.

        The hardware is actually one of the better streaming boxes on the market. Good direct play support for most of the big codecs, so your Jellyfin/Plex server isn’t having to transcode things. And it was (not sure if it still is) one of the few that wasn’t completely riddled with ads.
