Users are unimpressed, eager to toss devices if test sticks.

      Roku devices and fire sticks belong in the recycle bin.

      I switched everything to Apple TV .

        I got the shield too, it’s amazing. Upgraded from an old Chromecast and it’s night and day, didn’t realize how slow the Chromecast was, even on Ethernet.
