Posted by Central MS on 3/18/24 at 10:03 am
Every since my older Fire TV cube died, I’ve had to use a Fire stick and performance is lacking in comparison.
Im considering the Apple TV box versus latest Fire TV cube.
Anyone tried the two - which works better?
I use LAN ethernet connection to a reliable older Panasonic Plasma.

A word of caution about taking it early- they wanted to “take back” $8,000 due to early retirement payouts the year I retired.

My wife does it every morning, and when she is out of town I do also.
