In Reply to: Roku? posted by stan2 on December 22, 2020 at 08:03:47:
I've got a few Rokus, a couple of older ones on the bedroom and patio TVs and a Roku Ultra on the living room set. I also have a 4K Sony OLED with Android TV. And an Nvidia Shield TV, which is Android-based. And an Oppo BDP with some apps as well. I like the Roku interface the best BY FAR.
I tried using Sony's Android TV for a while when we first got the new TV, but it was frustrating to the point where I wanted to throw the remote at the screen, so I went out and got the Roku Ultra and haven't looked back. The Sony Android TV interface is clunky and very sluggish compared to the Roku and Nvidia Shield. The TV guide app is practically unusable. I've had to troubleshoot issues after app updates introduce bugs with no way to revert. Multiple issues with Kodi. And generally crappy DLNA support in the Android TV ecosystem. Finally, the Sony keeps trying to put "push" content onto my home screen.
The Nvidia Shield has the same basic Android TV interface and the same apps, but no "push" content and it's A LOT more responsive. The Oppo is serviceable if you only need the mainstream streaming sources it supports, but it's pretty limited content-wise.
