Yeah cause I don’t represent apple, why would I care what device he chooses. Just get something besides your tv’s built in software. Nvidia shield, fireTV, appleTV… they all work.

You won’t “eventually have this problem” if you buy an AppleTV.

I guarantee you the issue is the software on your TCL. You can disagree and say it’s apple’s fault but you’re wrong. If you used an actual appleTV, or any high quality steaming device, you would not be having these issues. If you’ve been dealing with it for at least a year and a half wouldn’t it be worth it to invest in some real hardware?
