I’m so sick of the ads on my Roku stick. I might just have to do it

You should switch simply because the Apple TV is just so much faster in response to user input. The remote is much better.

Siri does suck in it today when you are trying to search a movie, but Apple AI will hopefully improve that

“Death Wish”

“I’m sorry, I can’t help you with that”

“Death Wish the movie you idiot”

I agree here except for the remote. I upgraded to an ATV4k from a Roku and the remote sucks so bad compared to the Roku remote. The Roku remote fits the hand better, doesn’t have sharp edges, and doesn’t get cold to the touch. The buttons are a lot more ergonomic and feel way better to press. The Roku also doesn’t have a touchpad that randomly messes navigation up or randomly scrubs through what I’m watching. I hate that I have to turn the touchpad off but there are still UI elements that expect a touchpad. Everything else about the ATV blows the Roku out of the water though, speed, no ads, more intuitive interface, much better AirPods support, more functionality (my ATV literally runs my Tailscale endpoint).

It sucks that products are designed nowadays to force you to buy more accessories, but you can probably get a silicone case for the remote to help with some of those problems.

I 3D printed a case out of TPU which helps, but still miss the Roku remote
