Surprised by how much we like it. The interface is so much better for so many apps (including native apps on our SmarTV from Samsung). Additionally, its great to have so many shows and movies without having to use DVDs. Part of that is because my children are sticky fingered monsters whose mere presence causes cracks and smudges in DVDs to appear. And maybe other devices like Roku or firestick or chromecast are just as good, so can't really compare. But we've loved our AppleTV more than i thought we would.
