Apple TV: Alternatives in different price ranges

Streaming is the entertainment of the modern age. Devices such as Apple TV are an indispensable helper for many people. However, the hardware is particularly suitable if you also otherwise rely on Apple devices. Otherwise, however, you still don't have to do without an Internet-capable TV, as there are numerous alternatives.

1. The most obvious alternative to Apple TV is Amazon's Fire TV. Whether as a box or a stick, Fire TV masters all streaming tasks with flying colors. The app selection also leaves nothing to be desired. You can also get the Fire TV for as little as about 25 euros.
2. Another option is to use the Chromecast. This also allows you to connect your TV to the Internet and then download apps to stream content.
3. A somewhat more expensive alternative is the purchase of a Smart TV. This is particularly suitable if you plan to buy a new device. A Smart TV already offers all the features that Chromecast and Co. offer for you.
4. Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are also fully equipped media centers. You connect your TV with the WLAN router, all important apps such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Sky and YouTube are available. An additional device like Apple TV or Fire TV is then no longer necessary. Gamers are therefore clearly at an advantage here, since the consoles kill many birds with one stone.
