What the title says. I don’t know if the Apple TV is sincerely better than the Ultra, but since I’ve built up what I’d consider a fairly standard home theater system (4K tv with HDR, soundbar w/ Dolby Atmos…no surround system or anything overly fancy) the Roku has caused some annoyances. Right now the hassle is the Paramount Roku app keeps blanking the screen when watching Dolby Vision content, sometimes requiring a tv power cycle.
Anyways, I know I’m asking the Apple crowd here but I’m considering the switch but don’t know if it’s a difference of preferences or if Apple TV (4K) is genuinely superior?
I own an Ultra upstairs and Appletv downstairs. Roku does have ads, but not as many in my opinion as Amazon. I find Air play works more consistently and faster on appletv than on the Roku. My young children enjoy using the remote on Roku more than Appletv. The find my remote sound on the remote on Roku is nice. I think the picture quality is slightly better on appletv than Roku. Appletv will probably faster longer than Roku. Appletv feels a bit more high end than Roku, if you care about that sort of thing.
