The watch isn't actually a big deal. I wear it just every once in a while.

I guess so…seems odd to me, but to each their own. I’m usually trying to stay

I’ve got both Roku Ultra and Apple TV 4K on all TVs. Apple TV vastly superior in

Negative. The remote control alone makes it worse. And it’s much more buggy.

The new Siri remote is much better. Never had a single bug with Apple TV. Color

Don’t get me wrong, Roku is a great device. I prefer Apple TV 4K though.

Is it just the 'green bubble'? i switch devices all the time without any issue
