If you have money, I would recommend AppleTV, especially if you have an iPhone. It's by far the best platform in terms of not being solely an advertising vessel and sucking up your data, and integration with the iPhone even just out of the box is pretty great. That said, they're the most expensive by 2-3x.
Runner up is def Roku, which is much worse, but still pretty good.
And then there's me with a Fire TV, mostly because I buy them when they're $25 for the max fire stick config, and you can automate through the android debug mode. So when I want to use the device, I rarely use the main interface, which is extremely garbage.
Thanks. My wife has an iPhone, but I'm an Android person.
What interface do you use? I have two of our Fire TVs connected to home assistant and can sort of control them (play, start, pause) but is there a way to open different apps and select programs?
Home Assistant allows you to select the source, so I tend towards using that. There are other remote specific apps that allow similar.
