My Nvidia Shield TV from 2015 is still doing great
likewise... been exceedingly happy with mine... though I'm on my third remote, went with a non-nvidia one this time.
Wow, and on the heels of the disastrous price hike in Youtube TV because well gee those content guys are so MEAN they want all the dollarz. I also like Google Chat you know its like that thing we got rid of years ago, went through about six evolutions and came back to but without the interoperability with other systems that actually made the first one useful. It makes me wonder if there is anyone working at Google wh…
I also try to avoid being a panelist in behavior datasets. For this reason there are financial planning services I won't use and I won't buy a Vizio TV.
So, I'm very curious about your assertion that Roku is doing analytics for sale. I hadn't seen that before, so any further insight would be appreciated. Thanks.
Ok, I'm asking: what features does this (or the apple one, or the nvidia shield, or the roku stuff) give you that can't be given by a Raspberry Pi + libreelec + kodi?
Besides, a lot of these streaming sticks are cheaper that an RPi. The question is why should you use a Pi over the streaming stick, not the other way around.
I detest turning on my TV and getting ads from the TV itself (recommendations). I detest it even more of there is some show/celebrity I don't want to see but every day for a week/month whatever it's shoved in my face. I'm happy Apple TV (the device not the service) starts up with no ads. Android TV / Google TV is all ads (for shows). I managed to manually turn them off but now my is super ugly. You can't set a startu…
Spectre + Roku + Pi-hole is a really nice experience

Big Roku fan here. Was an early adopter, have had many versions of the device over the last dozen years and been a brand evangelist to my friends and family. I also try to avoid being a panelist in behavior datasets. For this reason there are financial planning services I won't use and I won't buy a Vizio TV.

Putting on my consumer hat, I really don't know why I need this over Android TV. Is it an upgrade? Does it have new features? Unclear. My Android TV already had Google Assistant on the remote and could "Hey Google, Play Tiger King."
"Android TV" isn't really a thing for consumers. You buy a media box or TV which is powered by it. If you like that device, great. If not, buy a Chromecast.

I literally stopped using Google Play Music for podcasts because that Adam Ruins Everything guy is always at the top of their recommendations. No problem with the guy or his content, just, hour after hour, day after day, year after year, seeing that guy, every time I switch podcasts, with no way not to see it.
Doesn't matter now anyway, Google Play Music is another service that lost the PM wars

Heh, that’s cute. And it still seems reasonably close to reality - the only thing I think it’s missing OTOH is Google One. Apple has Books, Pay, Wallet, Store, App Store, One, and TV. All they’re missing is Cast and Go!
Yes but Apple has one of each google has multiple of each.
