Why are people even using these kind of sticks any more rather than the apps on their TVs?
Are people actually using the built in apps over a dedicated box? I figured most people had a dedicated streaming device for at least their main TV. So much faster, better updates, more consistent (and with things like Apple TV I think the only way to access the platform)
apple ported their streaming services to everything, it's not only available on apple hardware fwiw
but no, most people just use whatever their tv does. tech people don't obviously but most people do
Hmm, guess I've just influenced everyone I know enough to use the boxes. The only people who don't that I know are also traditional cable only people and don't use streaming services at all.
