Similar to Roku with exception of a few more apps
My home was had a Roku 4, Roku 3, Roku TV and two Roku sticks (Express). I replaced the 3 with the Apple TV. There are pros and cons with both, mostly one having certain apps that the other doesn't. For instance, I wanted to have access to a Nest app that Apple TV has and Roku doesn't. Besides that, both function much the same as far as the interface goes. The Arial screensavers on the Apple TV are stunning when the device is asleep. The Roku screensavers, although not likely important for most people, are boring imho. The difference between the two will likely come down to apps as many of the popular iPhone apps can be used with the Apple TV, giving you more variety. Still most of the favorites like Sling TV, DirecTV Now, Vue, Hulu, NetFlix, YouTube are all here.
