Apple TV vs Firestick.

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? Which has more adds, and can it be blocked via DNS? Further read that Firestick could be jailbreaked, that has my interest 🦊

Assuming you’re British (“telly”), consider a Mi Box (not Mi Stick, it’s too sluggish). You’ll get all the bells and whistles you need, but also possibility of sideloading stuff when needed because it’s stock Android TV

In fact not British, but love that word 😅

either way, if you’re outside US consider the Mi Box; I believe Xiaomi products have no official availability over there

FireTV 4K is full of ads and is slow; also, the 3rd party apps vary greatly. Nebula crashes a lot, and Crunchyroll is a hot mess. I was thinking of replacing it with an Apple TV, but since I’d like a device for indie games and Honkai Star Rail, I’ve decided to get a mini PC instead. It’s arriving today, so I can’t tell you how it is, but price wise, it’s $185 and it runs on an Intel N100, so it’s energy efficient.

I mean to me Chromecast/Google TV is the obvious best choice of all of these.

Sorry but, Not in a million years 🙃

It just lets you literally cast all the apps from your phone right to the TV? I’m not really sure why you would be so against it.
