Hello!

I’m looking for a new streaming device (I have been waisting away using an xfinity box for way too long).

With the 2nd gen being so close in price I feel like the 3rd gen is the way to go. And it seems like the 128gb is the best option with the addition of the ethernet connection + it only being 20 more dollars at the end of the day for twice the storage.

It seems like there aren’t too many screaming deals coming up at stores other then for the older HD models (I know I missed out on the Walmart/costco/etc the last few months with the 100 offers for the new/older 4k 😔✊) But on apples site it’s going for 130 referbished which isint so bad and obviously the best spot to get it used. Also the 50$ gift card option for buying it new on Black Friday.

which of those options would you say would be my best bet - Im not sure when I’ll be purchasing another apple product (in relation to the gift card) but I have a Mac for my audio/video production work and am thinking of switching to the iPhone with the 15 coming out (USB C finally 🥲). So I’m well on my way to the cult of apple ecosystem immersion lmao.

Or has anyone heard of a better deal coming along or currently running? Should I just wait it out a little longer? Etc.

Appreciate the help everyone!

    We have 2x AppleTV 4K 3rd gen’s and 3x AppleTV 64Gb third gen’s in house. (Living Room, Master Bedroom, Home Office and the 2 kids bedroom).

    Honestly they’re fantastic - but only buy the 128GB if you need it. In our living room and master bedroom we’ve got allot of high end home audio equipment and I’m very picky on my 1:1 Remuxs on plex streaming properly…. So wanted the Ethernet but tbh I’ve found even the wireless ones work fine on them (we have ASUS XT8 mesh wifi system in house with 3 nodes)

    Also look for used on eBay or FB market. I got all the 64GBs for either £80 or £70 and the 128Gbs for £120 each.
