Hi and hope all are well today. First, thanks in advance for any / all responses. Second, apologies if this isn’t the best place to ask this question.

I’m curious if anyone, has moved completely from using an AppleTV to something else. Current use case for the ATV is a few streaming apps (Crunchyroll / HiDive, Tubi, etc.) and Apple Arcade (a few casual games).

If you did completely switch, what did you decide on using? Did you go back to buying movies / using a DVD/Blu-Ray player, setup a mini PC and stream from websites / rip music and movies, use a gaming console instead, etc.?

Exploring options and entertaining thoughts for right now. Again, thanks and have a good day / evening.

Edit - 2024/01/01 - Just wanted to thank everyone for the lively discussion and resources (links, recommendations, etc.) related to my question.

    I hope the close app tip works, but I don’t have an iPhone and my remote doesn’t have a power button.

    I appreciate it though because closing an app is necessary sometimes and was quite annoying.

      ? You hold the TV button on the remote and a menu opens with the power off button on the screen.

      Dead simple.

        Where is that departure from standard practice explained? And it isnt that simple given they added more buttons, including a power button, to the newer gen.
