Thank you for the comment. I should've provided more context in the original post. Without getting too deep, I'm starting to reconsider my personal views on privacy, content ownership (vs. streaming), where / how I spend my money, etc.

I'm in the Apple ecosystem but wondering if going back to open source, purchased media (music, movies, etc.), donating to projects, etc. is "better". Which is highly subjective and personal, of course.

The reason for the question was to see what other folks may be doing.

Got it, and yes, current ATV is hardwired. Wi-Fi in my home wasn't too bad, but wired is definitely better. Appreciate the response / thoughts.

Thanks, this seems like a common theme as well as Roku and Plex. At least you can recoup a few dollars on the ATV if you sell it.

I'm seeing a few comments on the Nvidia. I know of them, but had not really given them a serious look. Thank you so much!

Understood about the ads / sponsored content. I've not used anything but an ATV, but I've heard similar (ads, interface, etc.). If I come up with a different solution, I will revive the post and let folks know. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. Seems Roku / Plex are a fairly common combination.

Appreciate your insights on how you use the Roku devices. Understood about gaming, my eyes can't handle mobile gaming :)
