    So now I need a computer hooked up to my TV and I have to navigate using a keyboard and mouse, very user friendly.

    • So, you’re not complaining about having to have an Apple device, you’re complaining about is that Apple doesn’t have an Android app for whatever Android TV device you’re using?

      You can watch Apple TV on your Android phone, or your Android tablet, through a browser. You can watch it on your laptop or desktop through a browser. You could even watch it on your Android TV device… through a browser. You could cast it from your browser on your Android phone to your Android TV. Or, like a great many people do, you could - yes - hook a computer (laptop?) up to your TV and watch it that way. I bought a $10 mouse/keyboard remote for mine that works as well as any remote I’ve ever had. For a little more, you can get one that’s more remote-like in form factor, although I prefer typing on the larger one.

      Anyway, there are tons of ways to watch Apple TV on Android devices.

        So apps aren’t important anymore? Every other streaming platform I pay for has an app and I can easily use it to play all my content.

        Also is Apple TV still limited to 1080p when using a browser? Looks like maybe if I use Mac and Safari I can get 4K, but otherwise I’m limited to 1080p.

        Also, why am I jumping through all these hoops? How about I pay for something and I get good service?
