Apple TV, Fire TV or Roku?

Making the most of television viewing no longer means watching what programs TV stations are showing now.

Apple TV, Fire TV and Roku give you more to watch than just stations. But with all of the choices, the important thing is to find the one that works best for you.

※Apple TV

The new Apple TV has been available for about a month. The App Store has some apps for videos, gaming, travel and more. But not many apps are available for the Apple TV yet. You can link up your Mac computer, iPhone or iPad to Apple TV so that your television can show the program running on them.

Apple TV has a remote (遥控器) which helps you control what you watch. Apple TV does not run video in 4K.

Apple TV is best for those who have other Apple devices, such as Mac computers, iPhones and iPads.

Apple TV is available for $149 with 32 GB, and $199 wtih 64 GB of storage.
