I'm really surprised at just how much I like my Apple TV. I (wrongly) assumed it was a bit of a joke of a product for many years.

The latest 4k model is ridiculously fast (despite using an 'old' A12 SoC). Across the board it just works better than any Android TV, Fire TV or Roku I've ever used.

The Apple TV is really good, but have you tried the Nvidia Shield (Pro)? The launcher leaves something to be desired, and just mever felt entirely optimized for the remote and device even before this ads issue, but at least in my experience applications run extremely quickly even compared to my Apple TV which is already fast. On my Shield, that's while running a webcam recorder (NVR) with two simultaneous network streams 24/7 in the background, which makes it even more impressive to me.
