I've been an Apple TV user (3rd generation) for the last couple of years and found the installation and usage fairly straight-forward and simple. The remote and the interface were easy as well. However, this new (Gen 4) version moves you to a whole new level.

This is super easy to connect and super easy to use. I do wish that I had bought one with more memory. This isn't going to hold much. But we do like it!

It's been more than three years, but we finally have a new Apple TV ($149; 32GB). The last time Apple updated popular media streamer was back in 2012, and it has really started to show its age.

Simple, attractive tvOS interface; New app store greatly expands functionality; Excellent iOS device integration; Handy new remote with microphone for voice control

Pricey; No 4K support; Disappointing non-Apple music options

"The future of TV is here." It is not the world's most understated tagline for a new product, especially one from Apple. If you want to set sky-high expectations around a new TV product after years of rumors, well, that's how you do it.

Siri works well for TV and movies; Really fast; Games are a fun addition

Siri is extremely limited; Have to log in to every app individually; No 4K support

Apple lovers will swoon over the Apple TV.

Easy and fun to use; Fantastic remote control; Zippy operation; tvOS versions of apps are great; AirPlay mirroring

Does not support 4K; No optical digital audio port; Lacks some key apps; No expandable storage

Let's get one thing out of the way right from start regarding Apple's latest Apple TV streaming media player. It does not support 4K video playback. For some inexplicable reason, while Roku and Amazon were embracing things like HEVC decoding, HDMI 2.0, and HDCP 2.2 in their newest boxes, Apple chose...

Now into its fourth generation, the new Apple TV has its own operating system with the tvOS. It comes with its own App Store, so native apps can be installed in the device. The user interface is also as user-friendly as it is with iOS.There is also a new remote control, which comes with a built-in...

As underwhelming as some of the Apple TV improvements might be, the remote really pushes things on. You can now swipe gracefully to whizz through the alphabet. It's an effortless and intuitive bit of kit with a near instantaneous learning curve.

Considering it has been out for over a year now, the latest Apple TV hasn't been quite the do-all addition to my television setup I had hoped. In-fact, little has really changed with Apple's streamer and the competition has not only got cheaper, but significantly more appealing with 4K content.

Interface is easy to pick up; Siri Remote works well; Voice search and control brilliant

No 4K support; Sparse app store; Parental controls need tightening

Update: Amazon Video on an Apple TV? At one time this was an impossible dream, but it seems as though there's a good chance of it actually happening this summer now that the two companies have called a truce. Will we see Amazon on stage with Apple at WWDC 2017? We're crossing our fingers.
