Would an Apple TV be my best option for a fairly budget friendly streaming? - Blu-ray Forum

wattsndrive90 · 01-18-2024, 08:43 PM

I don't buy my films and TV on streaming but I would like to give Netflix - Hulu - and the movies I redeem from 4k Blus a try so I'm looking for a good device that has apps for-

Amazon Prime
Vudu
Netflix
Paramount+
Hulu

If Apple TV has all these on a 300mbps connection would the wired or wireless version be my best option. My wifi is good (wifi 6) but curious as to what you think.

Thanks!

Also whats your opinion on Amazon Fire TVs and Sticks...?

apple tv is the best streaming box option out there, it should give you access to everything you're needing, followed by either roku ultra or the nvidia shield. I wouldn't even bother with any amazon sticks.

Exactly.

Apple TV is the best, hands down, I’ve owned 4 of them. But don’t rule out the Chromecast with Google TV. The UI can be slightly sluggish at times but it’s a great value.

I can vouch for Roku, either in plug-in-USB-stick form or built-into-the-TV form. The UI is nice, and I have no problems with any of the streaming apps you mention.
