Roku's differentiating feature has always been simplicity and universal search. Does Apple TV offer universal search across content providers? I'm asking, I don't know, but it's the one feature I can't give up.
- gonehome 5y agoYep - you can search across all installed apps.
- pchristensen 5y agoContent providers can choose what content to expose to the universal search. Most do, notably Netflix does not, so you can't find Netflix content using Siri.
- jjeaff 5y agoAndroid tv does. Which you can get on an Nvidia shield or a cheaper off brand device on Amazon. Just be sure to get one that is certified for Netflix. (I think it's some kind of DRM that has to be on the device for the Netflix app to work).
- lotsofpulp 5y agoThat is one reason I canceled Netflix, and will not re subscribe until they opt in. Here’s the list of content providers that do integrate: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208083 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208083
- rashkov 5y agoI really enjoy using JustWatch for this. Their service allows you to search across all the streaming services, and browsing through their suggestions is fun. I also like using it to keep track of what I’ve watched and what I’d like to watch in the future. Their mobile app is pretty solid too.
