So. I just bought a new telly and to my surprise, not, the OS is rather bad and has very limited amount of apps. Therefore I'll invest further in either Apple TV or the Firestick. Anyone got any recommendations, tips or hot takes on this? Which has more adds, and can it be blocked via DNS? Further read that Firestick could be jailbreaked, that has my interest 🦊

I recommend Roku to people who don't want to pay for an Apple TV because the UI is very simple and easy to use. It's just an app grid. My parents weren't able to figure out how to use Fire TV or Android/Google TV because it throws too much at them making it difficult to find what they are looking for. I also dislike that a lot of the content recommendations are for services I don't pay for, which makes them useless and nothing but ads.
