The entire android tv UI is garbage. Lose internet while Disney plus or Netflix are loading? There's a good chance you need to force close them to make them work again. That's like 5 menus deep and doesn't make a lot of sense how to get there. Long press to bring up app info? Yeah right!
And the hardware is often total junk. There's a reason people still recommend the Shield, a device which is 5 years old and runs Android 9.
People here don't want to hear it, but using an Apple TV will ruin the experience for everything else from a hardware perspective. Software aside, of course. There's no reason for Android devices to exist on such sub par hardware. And yet....
The Shield Software Experience is version 9. The Android version is 11.
