Setting up an Apple TV.

Launch App Store.
Download a bunch of "Now Streaming" apps.
Never launch App Store a
gain.

@paul I don’t get the appeal of Apple TV anyways. Nowadays you can get dirt cheap Android TV sticks and they run all the same apps - so it’s basically the same thing. Unless you care about the iCloud implementation or Apple’s streaming offers, which are so lame and overpriced.

@renehupfer

Maybe one does not want “cheap hardware” but good integration. AppleTV can act as a HomeKit central and has good integration with iPhones (remote control, type on iPhones, stuff like this)

Also, your opinion of AppleTV+ as "lame" and "overpriced" is highly subjective. (For ME, it is the only recurring subscription streaming service (cheaper, higher quality).)

@paul

@maschinentraum @paul most smart home devices need an additional proprietary hub anyways. So I don’t understand why you’d need an Apple TV HomeKit Hub. Just use your phone? And/or Alexa/Siri device. Yes it’s subjective about TV+ as subjective and Netflix productions being goofy garbage renditions of already existing big classic Hollywood productions.
