these two things are at complete odds. appletv is only marginally better, but it is better. anything google is going to spy on you for its own benefit and those of its advertisers.
- metadat 4y agoIt's about having some control, rather than attaching the entire TV to the network and letting it run completely wild until it eventually "updates" to degraded functionality.
- madeofpalk 4y agoWhat's your end goal? Do you want to watch Netflix or Hulu or whatever on a TV? If you don't then you probably don't need any of these dongles! Just connect your TV to OTA and you're fine!
- clairity 4y agopersonally, i don't watch enough tv to have cable and use an appletv on a restricted vlan (no internet to the tv) to watch streaming services, but also will occasionally watch broadcast tv OTA. google is completely blocked at the firewall. it's the least bad option right now (that still allows you to watch just about any content), not a great long-term one. as apple establishes itself more and more in the content business, i'm sure they'll eventually succumb to more invasive tracking and targeting for advertisers as well.
