I have an older Sony with android.. Let me tell you that's not one of the better ones ;-)

having cut the cord - happily, I am now using Netflix, Prime, Fubo TV, Redbull (WRC), F1TV, Peacock (indy/IMSA/yellowstone), youtube and a couple others... All good... Except:

I find the TV atrocious in terms of switching from one app to another (not to mention the stupid sounds it makes doing so), in terms of app loading time for certain apps (peacock is the worst), the TV loses internet all the time (Wifi Gig mesh, very reliable) and often needs a reboot to reconnect, or it slows down so much interface wise it also needs a reboot to respond better, I mean I am rebooting the TV easily 3x a week or more. It's crap. It's fully up to date too, I tried that.. Oh also some apps lose ID/passwords periodically, very annoying ot re-enter - this is likely the apps themselves though.

It's on Android. I hear now Sony uses Google TV... Is that better ? I have an old gen 2 Apple TV unit and also an amazon firestick, may tru using these as point of entry instead (and load those apps on that) to see if it's any better. The native TV OS is crap...Smart? no. Any recommendation on solid TV OS you are truly happy with, or on best devices to use (roku, fire, apple, etc) that switch apps well and have quick interfaces, and rarely drop network ?
