Media players discussed:
“Smart”/Streaming TVs: Inexpensive way of accessing content (included in most current TV’s)…but please no! Save yourself and your family from this frustrating experience! Apple TV (HD or 4K versions): Expensive, very good user experience, ideal for Apple ecosystem users. Roku: Various price and set-up options (~$30-75), good user experience. Best option for those not in the Apple ecosystem and/or need a less expensive option. Fire TV: Inexpensive (~$25-50), but limited and clunky interface. Chromecast: Inexpensive (~$35), but limited (stream from computer/mobile device, Google ecosystem). Good for those living alone who consume most content through the phone (and want to ‘beam’ content to the TV). Brothers’ recommendation: Apple TV (if you are willing to shell out the $$) and Roku (if you want a less expensive option…and don’t mind updating your device every couple years).
