If you want actually zero ads, the Apple TV does exactly what it says on the box and nothing more. I know hating on apple is big. I’m not saying to go all in on the ecosystem. They just genuinely have the best product in this space right now.
I am not an Apple guy but AppleTV is the best "out of the box" streaming device on the market and it's not even close. Really the only thing I have against it is that Apple changed IP control to require HomeKit.
For us nerds, an HTPC is hard to beat....but for everyone else, I recommend an AppleTV.
The only downside is that they aren't giving away Apple TVs for free at my job lol I guess I got what I paid for 🤷♂️
You are the product. I wouldn’t be surprised if your company got paid to give them out. They almost certainly got them for free at least. If they didn’t, they’re fools.
They’re free to you because Amazon is getting paid for the ads you see. You’re also working for Amazon, now.
Absolutely. 4 or 5 years ago I got myself the current firetv stick 4K because my tv had an absolutely terrible smart tv platform (slow, almost no recognizable apps). After a month or so, I sold it to a friend, bought an AppleTV and never looked back.
