[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1759897, member: 131855"] We currently have an Apple TV (generation 3) and recently pick up one of the cheap Roku setups (don't remember which one).Both have their pros and cons. We're just beginning to explore the Roku. I got it mainly so we could access Curiosity Stream content. There is some content available on the Roku that wasn't available for the ATV 3. That will probably change a bit as more stuff becomes available for the ATV 4. If you have a lot of content in an iTunes library or want access to the iTunes store you'll need the Apple TV box. AFAIK Roku doesn't handle that yet. You might find these reviews interesting: [URL]http://fieldguide.gizmodo.com/battle-of-the-tv-boxes-android-vs-apple-vs-amazon-vs-r-1795501336[/URL] [URL]http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2490937,00.asp[/URL] BTW If you are planning to use the Apple TV for streaming music, keep in mind the ATV 4 no longer has the Tosslink digital connection. IIRC the connection to the stereo can only be made via HDMI. I suppose you could use an HDMI to RCA cable to make the connection [/QUOTE]
