Not sure if this is allowed but if anyone has Apple TV and doesn't have a current subscription, you can get 2 free months via this promotional link.

Don't forget to cancel the sub after redeeming it so you don't ger charged.
I hate apple tv with a passion
their app sucks so bad, if you switch it on all the other apps are subsumed and you lose a lot of functions
If you search in their app they will always give the most expensive option or say what you want doesn't exist.
the controller also sucks
I’d rather use Apple TV than Stan any day of the week.
Or just acquire content from both and use Plex
You can train another remote to work. There's an option in the settings.
I have suggested that, husband was angry saying it's because I'm a luddite/old/stupid. ( No, the controller sucks. )
I would actually recommend replacing more than the controller. Look at one of these - Shield TV - this is the newer version, but I've had one since about 2018 and it hasn't missed a beat.
Agreed. Android boxes are way cheaper. I’m still using a 4 year old mibox s and it works great with the usual streaming apps. The only benefit appletv has is if you want to use airplay or whatever it’s called. I have an iPhone and can still stream Spotify to android with no issues.
Amazing thank you we were just discussing getting Apple TV last night
Also works if you've had Apple TV before. Thanks for this!
There's also another promotion if you own a ps4 or ps5, assuming you haven't used it in the past for an extra subscription by using the Apple TV app on said console.
I'm going to test it out when I get home to see if it works and if it can stack on top of this promotion.
