Hi and hope all are well today. First, thanks in advance for any / all responses. Second, apologies if this isn’t the best place to ask this question.

I’m curious if anyone, has moved completely from using an AppleTV to something else. Current use case for the ATV is a few streaming apps (Crunchyroll / HiDive, Tubi, etc.) and Apple Arcade (a few casual games).

If you did completely switch, what did you decide on using? Did you go back to buying movies / using a DVD/Blu-Ray player, setup a mini PC and stream from websites / rip music and movies, use a gaming console instead, etc.?

Exploring options and entertaining thoughts for right now. Again, thanks and have a good day / evening.

Edit - 2024/01/01 - Just wanted to thank everyone for the lively discussion and resources (links, recommendations, etc.) related to my question.

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I've seen in this thread:

Fewer Letters	More Letters
AP	WiFi Access Point
NAS	Network-Attached Storage
Plex	Brand of media server package

3 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 6 acronyms.

Roku ultra with the memory card. But no one in my household uses apple devices.

[–] randomcruft@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 10 months ago

Appreciate the comment. The Roku seems to be pretty popular and luckily it's just me, so I can experiment.

my go-to setup is

chromecast with googletv 4k
alldebrid membership (€3 a month)
stremio app + torrentio addon

Appreciate the info / response. I'll have to check out alldebrid, stremio, and torrentio; those are new to me.

debrid is basically "cloud torrenting", a server torrents the files and you download them from there. extremely useful if you live in a jurisdiction where p2p filesharing is illegal.

stremio is a netflix-like video player app, torrentio an addon that let's you crawl torrent sites and stream stuff via debrid.

Thank you for the info on these. As I figure out what I want to do, I will keep these in mind! Sounds like some good stuff.
