Thinking of firing it up and trying Kirby air ride with my wife. My daughter is way to Needy for me to play anything real.

No. Apple TV is 2 different products with this name. Apple TV+ is a subscription based TV streaming service. Like Netflix and Disney+.

The other one, Apple TV, the one Sonos is copying, is a piece of hardware that plugs to your TV and downloads apps to connect to the other streaming services. This hardware piece is comparable to an Amazon Firestick, a Google Chromecast, Nvidia Sheild, Roku, and a slew of cheap Android TV boxes.

Load the whole movie into RAM and go to town.

Hardware is more capable... To do what?

I know some people play games and stuff, but as a streaming device, why? The newest Chromecast handles x264 and can support an Ethernet port just fine for like half the price.

Also supports miracast for the odd screen casting need

Roku comes preinstalled on a lot of the Chinese brands. I assumed the rest of the world bought those as well.

What are the transaction costs?

Is it to the point where I can feasibly purchase it with a credit card and spend it as Monero without paying 25% more?

Why is this 'Apple TV' like, and not Roku-like. Since it's by-far the most popular.

Not another streaming service. Another streaming OS.

Apple TV, the roku/firestick/android TV competitor.

Not Apple TV, the Netflix/Hulu competitor.
