I have a google chromecast (w GoogleTV) and the UI and lag is becoming a nuisance.
With Apple TV, do you get apps like Twitch and YouTube? Do livestreams work well? The most common apps I use are Twitch and YouTube but also Max, Netflix, Crunchyroll and Amazon Video.
Why bother casting? Just play the videos directly in the Youtube app.
I prefer to browse for something to watch on my phone. Then cast it seamlessly to the TV. Then maybe back to my phone without losing my place if I’m going into a different room.
Yeah, this would be solved if the pairing between YouTube apps on phone and tv were more reliable. When it works it is actually really great.
