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 🦊

    Thanks for the insight, I’m actually able to get the Apple TV for the same price as the Firestick where I live. Second hand that is.

    Edit: No I cannot - i totally misunderstood the generations of Apple TV… 😅

      I have both and only use the firestick to watch YouTube because I side loaded a YouTube client that blocks ads

      I have an older Apple TV (I think I bought it in 2017-2018), and the only thing it’s missing is 4K support. It’s not slow at all and it gets updates just fine. Only real “bad” thing is that the controller is the older model which is a bit clunky to use but you can get a new one separately if you want.
