TV Box Reviews - The Verge

The great trove of television and movie content is no longer restricted to the cable box. If streaming TV sans contract to a cable company is appealing to you, you’ll want a streaming box. Choosing between the latest Android TV box, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, and Apple TV box might seem like a hurdle, but a vast selection of programming (licensed and original) awaits you no matter which you choose. But if you’re looking for the box that offers the most, you’ll find it reviewed below.

This is a quietly big year for the Apple TV and tvOS

Instead of living by the whims of everyone involved in the streaming wars, Apple is refocusing on its own software and (finally) bringing features like FaceTime to the TV.

Walmart’s 4K Google TV box is the best $20 deal in streaming

Most big-name competitors can’t match this new Onn box when it comes to value and what you’re getting for the money. But Dolby Vision might be missed by some.

The new Apple TV is better in every way.

Apple’s latest Apple TV is available in stores today and it costs less and has more power than ever. If you’re looking at one, my recommendation is to splurge the extra Jackson and get the 128GB model with Ethernet and Thread support.

Be sure to check out Chris Welch’s review for all the info on it:

The new Apple TV 4K offers unmatched power at a better price

Packing more speed than ever (and now HDR10 Plus) at a cheaper price, the Apple TV 4K is the best overall streamer on the market — even if tvOS is falling behind in places
