#Mirror for roku license ky mac update

Roku's Voice Remote Pro is the company's biggest update in years to its controller. Whereas interface and features were close, I like the Roku Voice Remote Pro a lot more than Apple's new remote. But Siri and the picture adjusting tools give Apple the edge. Roku's addition of AirPlay to older TVs and boxes back with Roku OS 10 and Apple's rollout of TVOS 15 recent examples that both still care about their users even years after they purchase the devices.Īs with the interface, the differences here are small. Unlike with Roku, you can also ask Siri questions like 'When is the next Yankees game?' or 'What are the NBA standings?' and 'What's the weather?' Not game-changing features, but nice to have nonetheless.īoth companies get points for supporting their devices with constant software updates. It's quick and responsive when asking to play movies like Avengers Endgame and even knows to go right into Disney Plus (so long as you have the app installed). Next, Apple wins for voice because Siri is a lot better than Roku's unnamed voice assistant. The Apple TV features recommendations from a variety of services, not just Apple's own TV Plus subscription service, but if you don't want to use it you won't need to. Navigation is a bit easier thanks to the addition of a directional 'clickpad' to the new Siri Remote and the A12 Bionic processor inside keeps things moving quickly. The Apple TV 4K has a similarly pretty and colorful menu filled with tiles.

The app store, found in the left-hand section labeled Streaming Channels, is just as quick and easy to navigate as the main menu. There are no big recommendation tabs of what to watch, or posters of shows or movies cluttering the tiles, though there are some ads on the right side when scrolling through the grid. Responses on the Ultra are super-quick - within seconds I was inside services like Netflix, Disney Plus, Hulu or Sling TV - but the cheaper Express 4K Plus seemed just as fast. A colorful array of app tiles are arrayed in a grid that you can arrange to taste. Roku's interface is as easy to use as it gets.
