Considering leaving Roku Ultra - eviltoast

Mods can remove if this breaks any rules…

What the title says. I don’t know if the Apple TV is sincerely better than the Ultra, but since I’ve built up what I’d consider a fairly standard home theater system (4K tv with HDR, soundbar w/ Dolby Atmos…no surround system or anything overly fancy) the Roku has caused some annoyances. Right now the hassle is the Paramount Roku app keeps blanking the screen when watching Dolby Vision content, sometimes requiring a tv power cycle.

Anyways, I know I’m asking the Apple crowd here but I’m considering the switch but don’t know if it’s a difference of preferences or if Apple TV (4K) is genuinely superior?

    Side question: for the iPhone as a remote thing…can multiple users do that? Like can my wife use her iPhone as a remote while I’m at work or is it tied to whoever’s Apple ID the Apple TV is registered with?

      Anyone with an iPhone that is connected to your WiFi network can use their phones as a remote. To setup, just open the remote app on your phone and select the name of your Apple TV. A 4-digit code will appear on your TV that you’ll need to enter on your phone. After that you’ll never need to do that again.
