Genuine question: what's better about the Netflix app? Haven't used Roku. Seems decent on Apple TV.
What really sucks on Apple TV is the YouTube app. It may be Google's single least competent publicly available software engineering.
edited to clarify question
- nawgz 6y ago> what's better about the Netflix app I can use it with the same remote as I turn my TV on with. In all honesty, these things all are just feature parity, they perform the exact same between the two devices, but I really feel like the UX of fast-forwarding, rewinding etc is completely MIA on Apple TV and therefore it isn't really superior to the native applications, despite the $200 price point
- nomel 6y ago> I can use it with the same remote as I turn my TV on with. Any modern TV will let the connected turn it on and off with HDMI-CEC. For Apple TV, you just use the volume or whatever button to turn it on, then hold the home button and tap sleep to turn it off. Roku supports this, too.
- nawgz 6y agoHaha, sure, thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, I hate using the Apple TV remote, so I’ll stick to the classic UX on my roku remote
- nickthegreek 6y agoI loathe the Apple TV remote. The Roku remote is my fav although I currently use a shield pro which has been great.
- robbiep 6y agoIf you have an I-device use the remote on that. iPhone controlling Apple TV is delightful (even allows 1pass access to passwords for accounts)
- TheCoelacanth 6y agoYou've obviously never tried GMail in Firefox, though that's probably intentional.
- ipaddr 6y agoIt makes gmail look bad not firefox. I've moved away from gmail based mainly around performance.
