DirecTV Now / Roku vs Apple TV. what is up guys my name is Milan on this video we're gonna check out which box
will work better with your activity now Roku premiere plus or Apple TV for
generation we're gonna do a quick comparison and see which one will have a
better user experience so stay tuned until the end of this video it is
important to mention that there is going to be a huge price difference now the
Roku premier plus is gonna cost you between $50 to $89 depending on where
when you check when it comes to the Apple TV for generation this one is
gonna cost you around $150 and it is harder to find for a cheaper price in
other stores now they both gonna offer the same functionality when it comes to
Wi-Fi connection you can connect the LAN port to both to them and the remotes are
gonna be a little bit different now when it comes to remote controls the Apple TV
remote is very sleek and modern design and the recruit control this feels a
little bit more bulky but feels better in the hand even though the Apple TV
remote it's very compact and only has minimum buttons it comes with a track
pack in the top that in my opinion is a little bit harder to actually swipe
through the channels or if you actually tried to go through the menu well at
least it would take some time getting used to it on the other hand the Roku
remote will have the physical buttons which makes it a lot easier to navigate
through the menus other than that they both both of the remotes will give you
the same functionality when it comes to the reactivity now now let's talk about
the user functionality and response time when you're using the DirecTV now app we
were Cooper Muir plus and the Apple TV while using Apple TV when I'm switching
through the channels I can see a way faster response time when I'm going from
one channel to the other on the other hand when I'm using Roku premiere plus I
can see a huge delay sometimes two to three seconds for the channel to load
and here's an example so you can compare the difference
now on the other hand if I want to swipe through the channels real fast
Roku premiere plus is gonna allow me to basically swipe through every channel
real fast as fast as I can push the button Apple TV I have to wait for the
channel to kind of load before it will allow me to go to the next channel but
when I stop on both of the devices the Apple TV loads the channel really fast
and recuperar plus will give a huge delay for the channel to low load
especially when I swipe through the channels real fast and I go through many
channels and sometimes it even causes the app to crash making me stop the
application and start all over while running this test I'm actually
connecting both of the devices to my home router using the LAN connection and
I'm getting about a hundred two megabytes per second on my download
speed of course that's gonna change as I'm showing right now on the speeds that
I'm currently getting now when it comes to the sound and picture quality I can't
really tell the difference I think both of them do a great job at this playing
the picture the brightness the contrast and the sound quality's always some
point I have used both of them for about three months now and I have been
alternating and I have noticed that Roku premier plus those tend to crash more
compared to the Apple TV so to wrap up this video guys so in my opinion at the
end of the day I think Apple TV is gonna give you a better user experience of
course if you actually get used to the remote I do find it that it's more
reliable the response times it's way faster when I'm swiping through the
channels I just get a better experience than when I'm using Roku premier plus
but again there's gonna be a huge price difference so that's something for you
to consider and I hope this video will help you make that decision on your next
purchase if you currently have DirecTV now or you're thinking about getting it
