These latest 3rd gen 4K models come on a specific tvOS version (16.6) that is compatible with a software called TrollStore, which is essentially unlimited sideloading. I've loaded a few streaming apps on mine and it's awesome! Very rare these days to see anything jailbreak-esk available on current hardware much less from the factory! And for $100, this is a better streamer than my Fire Stick 4K (obviously) but also personally more enjoyable than I think an Nvidia shield would be. For me, all the ATV was missing was sideloading. I'm into the Apple ecosystem pretty deep too so this is the ultimate streaming machine for me.
Sideloading = installing an app without going through an "official" app store like the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

Trollstore = an unofficial app store that allows you to install apps that are not in the Apple App Store.

There's usually a lot of tutorials for these things on YouTube or Reddit

Yeah, mine is failing as well and I'm deliberating whether to replace the remote or just upgrade altogether. Leaning toward the latter since somebody would probably take my old first gen for $20 on marketplace
Forgot about selling the old one....let me know what you do. Will reply with what I do as well.

Well, it would cut down on a bunch of posts asking the same question, without a full answer.

Because some people prefer quality over cheap price tag. None of the other streaming devices deliver an experience like Apple TV.

I have recently had both the fire tv and apple tv. I settled with the $40 Fire TV 4k Max (recent sale) and notice no quality drop off in comparison to Apple device. In fact, I am thriving with the inclusion of the ability to sideload apps. I used a 77" Samsung S95c OLED for comparison purposes.

I have all of them

Typically they are all good

The appletv is better when you have an app like directv stream and are actually watching a 4k program. The others rarely get sound out of sync

This list is incorrect. That is why I didn't post it. Any DoD civilian can now be a member regardless of living domestically or OCONUS.

Quote from Doug5421 :
Could you briefly go into what TrollStore & SideLoading is? Total noob looking to buy one of these.

TrollStore uses a CoreTrust exploit to sign applications with entitlements they would not usually have with normal sideloading. This allows the user to sign apps with higher privileges, essentially installing them as system apps, so they never expire. It's not a jailbreak, but does use exploits like a jailbreak. It even persists through reboots so it's the best way you could hope to sideload.

Because Roku doesn't have a Steam Link app. Because this is the only powerful enough device to actually run Steam Link seamlessly (neither of my TVs with Android TV will run it smoothly anymore due to bloat and crappy hardware). Because Apple Arcade also run smoothly on this due to the fact that it has the same A15 bionic chip as my iPhone 13. This is the heart of the iPhone 13 in a small box and a very cheap price.

Since the 4K doesn't have usb, how do you sideload?

You use Xcode to connect to it over your local WiFi network

It was copied and pasted directly from the AAFES website. I would bring it up with them if it's incorrect.

Yes, and again, they need to fix it, as the information is out of date. I live here in the U.S. and I have an account, and can freely shop at the local exchange while at work.

Here's the press release for it from a few years ago.

https://www.defense.gov/News/Rele...exchanges/

Again, if anyone has questions on eligibility, all they have to do is go on the EX website and provide their SSN and date of birth to validate their eligibility.

Very good price for veterans/military repeated from amount a month ago. Likely a new version is coming out later this year, but still worthwhile to purchase this model at this price.
