Television

Those of you who stream, what do you use?

If wanted to watch something on HBO Max on my Roku but the app is not streaming anything. I opened up Max on my phone and it plays fine. Too often Roku just shits the bed for different apps. It’s it’s not Max, it’s Netflix, or Hulu or Disney+. I really like the Roku Streambar but Roku itself is too unreliable.

What alternatives are there? I wouldn’t buy something ASAP but I have a Sony TV from 2017 which has some smart capabilities but could probably be upgraded within the next year.

Had similar issues and this fixes it. At least for a while. Give it a shot

Some cursory googling after asking has lots of people saying the same thing. It still has all the main apps? It doesn’t feel like you’re missing anything from what they have?
yeah, Apple TV is the way to go if you are an Apple person they have the best UI.

I’ve used Amazon TV in the past too and it’s solid as well.
 
Catching up on Bobs Burgers, and watched Season 13 / Episode 22 (Amelia) and Season 14 / Episode 2 (The Amazing Rudy) last night. It's going to take me a while to recover from these! Wasn't expecting a double whammy of emotional overload.
I just saw a Paste list of the best Bob’s Burgers episodes of all time and both these were on there. Saying something along the lines that it feels good that a show nearly a decade and a half old was still putting out such poignant episodes.
