    All I want to know is:

    1. Can I watch Twitch streams on it?
    2. Does it have a built in browser, I can watch videos from non-app services on?

    I’ve been using roku for what feels like 15 to 20 years. I’m finally ready to buy an Apple TV just to be able to watch Twitch on it. If Google TV Streamer either has an official Twitch app, or can install normal android apps, like the Twitch app from the play store, and has a web browser that can play videos from standard websites, I am sold.

    If someone has, or buys a streamer, please let me know with a reply.

    $100 and it doesn’t even include the HDMI cable?

    Now that every TV is a smart TV who’s the target audience?

      To be fair, smart TVs are terrible enough to leave disconnected from the internet…

      I buy devices like Apple TV to replace the built in shitty smart tv functionality on smart tvs. I do not want ads so I do not connect my tv to the internet, and instead connect my streaming box.

        Yes but this offers the exact same functionality and built-in ads/tracking that you will find in any androidtv based smarttv.

        They even list having ads (recommended shows on a service that you aren’t subscribed are ads, not recommendations) that cover 80% of the home screen as a feature

    Yeah no. 20 bucks for a pi zero and libreelec. No ads, you can play retro games on it and did I mention, NO ADS!
