I gave up on Roku when they and/or NowTV unlawfully deleted a side-loaded app from my device.
Moved to FireTV which has plesk as a downloadable, that allows me to view photos off my local network as I was doing before ... Plex is awful now, the UX is terrible for me (it's geared to viewing Plex's content, which I have never used nor wanted), so I moved to just using VLC (clunky for photo viewing but good enough).
We only use Netflix, Youtube and free catch-up channels and only have 1080p, but FireTV was/is way better than the Roku device was.
What's garbage about FireTV?
- browningstreet 6y agoI wanted HBOMax and I had given away my AppleTV. I wasn't going to buy a new AppleTV until they upgraded it, so I bought a FireTV. Aside from the ads, it works really well and the remote is decent. I've gotten used to it, and now that the new AppleTV is out, I probably won't even bother upgrading. Or if I do, I'm on the fence about it. The Roku interface is easily the worst of the bunch.
- nvarsj 6y agoIt doesn't take much effort to unpin the Plex channels from your home page, or remove them completely from your account settings. It's annoying that they're the default, but it's not a huge deal either.
