My sister needs a streaming device but they all seem to be awful. The only one that seems somewhat decent is the Apple TV but that’s too expensive. Out of the cheaper ones which one is the least worst? I’m currently leaning towards a Firestick because it seems marginally better than Roku and Chromecast have apparently been discontinued

    The chromecast is now called the google tv streamer.

    I ditched chromecast for the apple TV when google started ramping up the ads across the UI. Quite happy with it, and great integration if you have iphones/airpods/etc.

    I would not trust amazon. Roku is getting ad-heavy too.

    Perhaps you can find a used apple TV?

      I did see that, it’s a lot more expensive than the old Chromecast were though and doesn’t seem to offer much that they didn’t. Used Apple TV isn’t the worst idea if I can find one at a decent price
