" ...  The picture quality is magnificent, especially in 4K, but also with upscaled 1080p. ... Having used the latest AppleTV with my previous 1080p TV, and having been extremely happy with that setup, I can say that I don't like Android TV very much.  ...  "

" ...  Second, using the IR Blaster in conjunction with a Tivo, I was amazed and happy, that I could stick with one remote, and have it control the Tivo, meaning we could continue to use our Tivo while enjoying the more advanced features on the TV. ... Hopefully this will be corrected in the future, without me having to look into a harmony remote or something similar (in regards to the remote issues).  ...  "
