Apple TV vs Firestick. (lemmy.world)

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 🦊

Assuming you're British ("telly"), consider a Mi Box (not Mi Stick, it's too sluggish). You'll get all the bells and whistles you need, but also possibility of sideloading stuff when needed because it's stock Android TV

In fact not British, but love that word 😅

either way, if you're outside US consider the Mi Box; I believe Xiaomi products have no official availability over there
