I guess I'm just frustrated because it seems like another sort of useless thing that is going to draw a lot of money and developer time and effort for what I view as not terribly important, especially for the amount it costs.
Didn't mean to project my frustrations onto you or attack you/your parents personally. Just trying to get to the bottom of why people purchase and use Apple TV, and I see why now. It's easy and requires no thought, which is exactly what you need when you're getting in the mood to relax and watch some shows.
- eddieroger 11y agoIt's all good - I enjoy the dialog. I didn't read an attack, and we can still be anonymous Internet friends. I get your point, too, and I'm very glad you see mine now. Other than being easy, there's really functionally little else that the AppleTV does for me (notable exception - HomeKit bridge). I'm willing to pay the convenience fee, though, so I don't have to deal with the rest of those things. I spend all day with computers, most of the time fighting to make them work the way I want them to (bug fixes, learning new stuff, etc). When it's TV time, it's TV time, not "oh man, Plex was running fine last night, what happened..." time.
- jalencas 11y agoIt may seem frustrating at first. But when tv networks (and not just them, but also newspapers, big brands, podcast networks…) switch from having 'channels' to having 'apps', you'll see the genius behind it, and why it's worth the developer time. That's what I'm looking forward to.
