    I hate apple tv with a passion

    their app sucks so bad, if you switch it on all the other apps are subsumed and you lose a lot of functions

    If you search in their app they will always give the most expensive option or say what you want doesn’t exist.

    the controller also sucks

        I have suggested that, husband was angry saying it’s because I’m a luddite/old/stupid. ( No, the controller sucks. )

          I would actually recommend replacing more than the controller. Look at one of these - Shield TV - this is the newer version, but I’ve had one since about 2018 and it hasn’t missed a beat.

            Agreed. Android boxes are way cheaper. I’m still using a 4 year old mibox s and it works great with the usual streaming apps. The only benefit appletv has is if you want to use airplay or whatever it’s called. I have an iPhone and can still stream Spotify to android with no issues.
