Me. As far as I know, no Android device will allow me to watch movies I've purchased from the Apple store. I can however watch Google purchased movies on the Apple TV.

You can stream iTunes content online, so it works on Android, just not as well.

I think that is just it - the Media Streamer on our main TV is a family device and anyone in the family should just be able to switch it on and it all works.
That is definitely the case with the Apple TV box - switch on, everything tiled, click and away you go. All content accessible. It really is good at what it does.

You can watch all AppleTV (including purchased content) on a Chromecast Ultra. I imagine it would work on any Google TV device.

I genuinely wasn't aware of that. So the AppleTV App does allow you to play back purchased movies from iTunes?
That opens up my options should Apple make it near impossible for me to keep on using the Apple TV box as my only Apple device.
Cheers.

Yup. Literally just checked it before I posted in case I was making an ass of myself. I don't have any purchased content from Apple so can't fully test it but there's a Library section which when selected tells me I haven't purchased anything.
