My sister needs a streaming device but they all seem to be awful. The only one that seems somewhat decent is the Apple TV but that's too expensive. Out of the cheaper ones which one is the least worst? I'm currently leaning towards a Firestick because it seems marginally better than Roku and Chromecast have apparently been discontinued

How technical are you and your sister? Kodi is an excellent media center app that can run on as little as a Raspberry Pi. With it, I've been able to use all of the major streaming apps, plus avoiding ads on YouTube to boot. Setting it up can be a bit of a pain though.

    I'm fairly technical so I don't mind if there's a bit of a setup, she's not though so it needs to just work after that. Also does Kodo run into the issue of Netflix etc not allowing HD content?
