Hi, I bought a couple of Google Chrome devices for family members, for Xmas, for 35 dollars each at Amazon. There is a free Google Chrome app for the IOS devices, on the app store, called Google Chrome, and I am pleased to report that the device is at least indirectly usable by a Blind person using VoiceOver from their IOS device. There are two parts of setting it up, one is plugging it into your TV and then connecting to your router. This part is not doable by a Blind person, because TVs don't yet have screenreaders. The other part is to open the Google Chrome app on your IOS device, and you will find the Google Chrome device if you are connected to the same router it is connected to. A funny thing about this is, if someone is watching a program, you can change what they are watching from your device. You can watch content from your device, like videos and YouTube content, and NetFlix and other similar content. Since I don't have an Apple TV device, I cannot compare the two except to say that I suspect that a person using VoiceOver can probably set it up completely, where connecting the device to the router is not possible since it has no speakers, and no touch-screen and I don't think there would be a way to run TalkBack on it.
Anyway, I hope some find this useful.
