But why would they? They can't put anything meaningful on a tiny device like this that is powered by HDMI. TV+ is available on Smart TVs. What kind of niche audience would this have?
Folks in want of an AirPlay receiver, perhaps?
Yes this. Plus I’m tired of fucking firetv sticks.
then stop fucking firetv sticks.
Ok this made me chuckle out loud.
The ports are actually kinda small.
I’m not seeing the issue here
This is built into Roku now. I can AirPlay to all my TVs, and I’ve never had an Apple TV.
My experience with Airplaying to a Roku-based TV is that it isn’t as smooth. E.g., screen mirroring a Mac had noticeable mouse lag, whereas it was pretty buttery smooth with an AppleTV.
Maybe newer Rokus have addressed that problem, though.
I haven’t tried with a Mac, but it works well with my iPhone. My TVs are at least a couple years old.
