AppleTV would be my recommendation for people that want a clean interface with no ads and they don't want to or can't modify an android TV box to a custom launcher. It's just about a perfect experience right out of the box. It's a shame about the shitty remote though.
For people willing to get their hands dirty, androidtv having SmartTubeNext is a killer tool for YouTube and for me gives it the edge.
SmartTubeNext might be the greatest thing about AndroidTV just for the sponsor block. It's so amazing.
Pihole helps. If you have androidtv you can setup a custom launcher and avoid it on your interface.
I did the exact same thing. Also blocked androidtv updates in case Google starts pulling shit regarding custom launchers.
It's gross how ads are being crammed in every little nook of our lives. Not like the ShieldTv was a cheap device either.
Pretty sad to see Roku going down the same road. Guess forcing a third of the screen devoted to ads just wasn't enough.
Oh shit, I just started going to Aldi and sounds like I am one of the idiots doing it wrong. The store I am going to seems to be setup same as a typical SCO though. I don't know that I have noticed a bagging counter. Will be looking next trip I guess.
You got that right. It's so great walking right by everyone queued up at the registers.
Works for Russia. Window sales going to see a surge if Trump gets elected.
Not for a while, at least not on their flagships.
