(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?

    What about Chromecast Google TV 4k? I just got one and loving it. Installed Stremio and SmartTube and works great. Got a custom launcher as the default one focuses a lot on streaming services. Also tried Kodi but seems worse than my dedicated Vero 4k with OSMC / Kodi.

      This is the right answer.

      It has all the flexibility, wider compatibility and app support, and simply plays everything.

      Ya if you want cheaper this is it. Replaced an old 2015 shield and it does the job fine. Primary tv still 2019 shield pro though as it is simply the best.
