(Repost ish, from Technology), So I just bought a new telly and to my surprise, not, the OS is rather bad and has very limited amount of apps. Therefore I’ll invest further in either Apple TV or the Firestick. Anyone got any recommendations, tips or hot takes on this in terms of pirated content? Which is more accessible and I reckon both support Jellyfin?

I love the Apple TV. It has a super fast ui. I use infuse on it to play content from a network share, and Plex.

Like most things when comparing Apples to Androids, the Apple product is typically cleaner and more performant throughout its longer lifespan.

My Apple TV 3 is still doing OK. My Firestick / Android / GoogleTV devices from the same time period (and some even later) are too slow to use.

Im on a First Generation Apple TV 4K. 6 years old and still works flawlessly.

Only reason I might get a newer one is to have another matter border router. Also the new remote looks nicer.

AppleTV + Infuse = zero transcoding. Add that Apple will be allowing VPN on device with the release of tvOS 17 and it’s pretty much the perfect kit if you’re willing to spend the extra dollars.

My friends who have them are also super satisfied, but obviously anything Android based has the advantage of sideloading apps to consider. Depends on what you want in the end, Apple has Plex and Jellyfin apps which I think is enough for the average pirate.
