- scarface74 8y agoRoku’s interface is slow and ad ridden compared to the Apple TV. I have three Roku TVs and like them. But, I have two ATV 4Ks (free because of the DirecTVNow promotion) - one attached to our main TV. But Roku is the only non-Apple tv platform that I can stand.

I don’t have a text link, but he said it during an interview on the Recode podcast. https://www.recode.net/2018/9/13/17852908/roku-anthony-wood-apple-google-amazon-tv-competition-peter-kafka-media-podcast https://www.recode.net/2018/9/13/17852908/roku-anthony-wood-...
