OK, after my son taught me how to use the remote (you swipe the upper half, it is pretty cool) I like the remote. I taught it to control the volume of the TV and you can search with voice. I really like the remote better than Roku once I got used to it. Just swipe to skip ahead etc.
The video quality is the best of all the devices I am currently trying. Gold Rush never looked so good. It took some time for the Directv app to initialize and load the guide etc. I left it on for an hour and came back to it mostly working. I did have to upgrade the Apple TV software. I tried to watched some old episodes of The Profit and it would stop part way through with an apologetic error code on the screen. So, a bit buggy for archived content. Once they get the DVR function working, I think I will cancel SlingTV and Sony Playstation Vue. I really like using the voice command for usernames and passwords. Loaded up Netflix, Hulu, Showtime. Oddly, no Amazon app. Must be some bad blood between companies or something. Oh well, keeping the Tivo, it does Amazon and all my locals. Did not see any locals on Apple.

I couldn't tell the difference between it and the HD FiOS TV I have. But haven't moved it to my 4k TV yet. Although, I hate the remote. The Roku remote is so ergonomically friendly, just not happy with the Apple TV remote.

Be interesting to see the difference in the user experience as compared to viewing on the PC.
