What's the best external tv hardware box these days? It needs to be something easy enough for my non-technical family to use, that's also stable enough that I don't have to worry about upgrading or debugging it, and provides all of the popular providers controlled by a remote -- or is at least compatible with a universal remote.
Up until recently, my Roku ticked all of the boxes -- Amazon Prime, Netflix, HBO Now/Go, Plex, CNN, Hulu, all controlled by a Logitech universal remote. But as of August 1st, HBO has pulled their apps from Roku.
Is one of these a better option?
- Android TV
- Amazon Fire
- Apple TV (without other iOS devices?)
- something else?
