Try this please!
Use Peacock app on Apple TV. Try the new Pokerface show. You will get an incredible amount of commercials.
Now I go to my Roku, or my LG tv built in app - not one commercial!!!
Same account, same show, same episode.
I want to love my Apple TV.
Not bashing the product, but just raising some questions that some people might have. I figure if you have a 4K TV, you most likely already have the app built in.
I got tired of unplugging the power to my "smart" Samsung, LG and then tcl tvs to get the Netflix or Prime streaming apps to load. I'm tired of then a year and a half after purchasing a Roku ultra, it freezes and I have to remove power to it to get it to work at all. I then buy the latest roku ultra, and a year later it also starts freezing.
My first Apple TV hasn't yet started locking up. I've talked with people who still use their 5 year old non-4k Apple TVs on their older 1080p tvs, and I went Apple TV. I still don't appreciate the interface, but at least it hasn't yet locked up.
One minor detail to add: this does have Thread, but does not support Matter.
If you don't know what Matter is (in the context of home automation and/or HomeKit) then it probably doesn't mean much to you.
Only the newest (3rd gen) 128GB AppleTV supports Matter. If you don't care, then this is the model to get.

The 128 GB 2022 Apple TV 4K (the one with Ethernet) supports Thread and Matter.
Thread is the networking technology. Matter runs over Thread so typically most devices that support Thread will support Matter as well.

With regard to Thread, Apple's page for the Apple TV 2nd gen says that model is "Not compatible with non-HomeKit Thread devices". See footnote 5 at bottom of page: https://support.apple.c
