Which device do you use for streaming?

My go to device is the Apple TV4K for everything except Hulu (as Hulu doesn’t do 5.1 audio on the ATV). My 2nd choice is the Fire TV 4K Stick.

I also have a Roku Premiere+, gaming consoles and my Sony 4K HDR TV is an Android TV, but rarely use those for streaming.

 

My go to device is the AT&T TV Osprey, primarily because that is the streaming service I use and it works better with it.

My secondary device is a FireTV Cube.

 

I have an actual 5.1 speaker set up, with rear speakers mounted to the ceiling behind the seating area, and the other four speakers placed appropriately, with all of them calibrated. And I honestly don't know/notice/care when something is coming in with real Dolby Digital 5.1 audio versus stereo audio that my Yamaha receiver just turns into pseudo-5.1 audio via Dolby Pro-Logic II. I mean, I assume that real DD 5.1 is better, but eh, whatever. It all sounds good enough on my system. (I'm FAR more of a stickler on picture quality than I am audio quality.)

I use my T3 Bolt for Netflix and Prime and PLEX.
Use my LG Smart TV for Hulu, Peacock and if I ever feel the need HBO+ and Disney+ or any others.

Hulu on the Bolt is problematic at best, can start watching something, but it always fails around the 3rd commercial break and refuses to play further.

 

Nvidia Shield Pro and TiVo 4K Android, 4K FireTV are my go to options, each is actually pretty darn good with Nvidia being the best.

Where's the "I don't stream" or "None" option?

 

Roku tv here.

 

Another ATV 4K user here. I have Rokus for the rare Xfinity streaming and smart TV apps — so rarely used that I didn’t select them in the poll.

 

My Sony Smart TV, which has the apps for Prime and AppleTV+. Those are the two I'm currently paying for.

 

I belong to a Twilight Zone Fan Facebook page. I asked a similar question about how people are watching the episodes. Surprisingly, most still watch it on OTA television (MeTV channel, etc). Tied for second was DVD/Blu-ray and Streaming.

So you may see some on here that are watching either OTA, cable or satellite, and still not streaming anything.

 

Mostly I use my wired Roku for streaming services like Vudu, Amazon Prime, Paramount +, etc., with my TiVo Stream as a backup. For YouTube it is this Win 10 computer which is attached to my TV as I tend to play YouTube stuff while doing other things.

 

That would be in a poll done a decade ago.

 

Looks like 22% at the moment:

We mostly use 2019 NVIDIA Shield/Shield Pro. I have to use a Firestick 4K for watching with BT headphones that cause problems on the Shield and AppleTV 4K. All my Rokus are unplugged at this point after various compatibility issues with my Sony and Samsung TVs.

 

In the living room, I just use the apps on my Samsung TV. It has everything. Only exception is that if I want to watch HBO Max's 4K movie content, I use a Chromecast since the Samsung's app hasn't been updated (yet?) to do 4K.

In the bedroom, I have a Tivo Stream 4K attached to the TV which is pretty old and apps are pretty much a no-go on it.
