I have one and run Sling on it as well as other apps. Apple TV+ provides streaming services that a free for a while if you buy an Apple device. While I was offered a free year of it, I have not signed up for it. Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov

Is it available as an application on her phone? I just want to watch it on my TV. I want to give them money to give me their streaming service. What problem is this?

Does not get more standard than this in the Android universe. So do I need an Apple device? And yes I have T-Mobile. I still need to install the app to get access.

Felt somewhat weird; surely it oughta work for something. -- Christian R. Conrad The Man Who Apparently Still Knows Fucking Everything Mail: Same username as at the top left of this post, at iki.fi

It's just like an Android TV with the OS in the display, only here the chip(s) that run it is (are) in a separate box. In effect, it pretty much is "the TV". -- Christian R.

Or, knowing Apple, they have a philosophical objection to supporting Android smartphones but Android in other things they will consider. I dunno. I don't work there. And I don't partake in that part of their ecosystem. Wade.
