At this point, I’ve tried and tested almost every major streaming platform. I use Google TV On Xiaomi’s TV Box S, I have an Apple TV 4K (which I mostly keep in my mom and dad’s room), and I’ve spent time with Roku and<\/span> Samsung’s Tizen-based One UI for smart TVs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That said, at home I use a Sony TV and a Samsung Smart TV with a Xiaomi TV Box S plugged in, so most of my usage still revolves around Android TV and Google TV. It’s not that Google’s platforms are bad or missing key features compared to something like an Apple TV or Amazon Fire TV, but the overall experience hasn’t been great for me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And the more I’ve experimented with alternatives, sometimes even without meaning to, the more I’ve realized one very simple thing: Google TV just isn’t for me, and the option I’ve landed on is a little unconventional \u2014 but it might actually be a better replacement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Will you use a Windows-powered streaming device?<\/h3>\n
