Really? We have one on each tv in our summer home in Italy and most of our friends use them since they’re better than the crappy OS that comes with the tv.

Anywhere I went (Totals to France, Germany, Sweden, Austria, Cyprus and where I live, Turkey) it was people using stuff like Mi Boxes, Bravia or Philips TVs with preloaded Google TV or TVs with Amazon Fire OS. Although it is obvious that the usage count is not 0, from what I have seen, it is not widespread, although I can guess that there obviously are groups like you lot who use it.

I mean in the US I wouldn’t say it’s super widespread either. Most people just use whatever chrome OS comes on their TV.

Main reason to get one is the vastly better UI + responsiveness, proper HDR support, and sometimes better streaming quality.

I have two smart TVs and use an Apple TV on both of them for exactly those reasons.
