You Don’t Need to Spend That Much Money
Let’s say that you do want new digital TV options; maybe you cut the cable cord at last and need a replacement for your old channels since you don’t have a gaming console or smart TV. In that case, a Roku or Chromecast device will get you everything you need at a much more affordable price: The latest Apple TV starts at $149, while you can get the other similar devices for ~$35. The primary reason to consider an Apple TV here is if you badly need the storage space for your content – but even then, getting an external SSD would probably be the cheaper option.
