    I got sick of all the ads on Google TV/ChromeCast and Fire TV. Not to mention the shitty layouts that get worse and worse every year.

    I got an Apple TV box and it has been fantastic. I still see some Apple TV ads when turn it on? But they are much less annoying and contained to one play. Not mixed in with the app I’m trying to open.

      I wanna add that Apple TV’s are seriously underrated for gaming on. I use mine mostly for Steam link. So nice to be able to comfortably play on the couch, and not have to listen to the pc fans screaming in the basement.

      I just wish we could sideload apps. This thing could do so much more, but Apple has it way too locked down.

      you can also just move the appleTV App away, so you wont see these ads, just put some other app at the first place

      If you ever go back to Google TV just install Projectivity launcher or something like that, much nicer interface and no ads
