alt Hacker NewsI've been aware of the Shield devices for some years now, as an Android user, but something always put me off them.
I lrecently bought the FireTV 4K in a last-ditched effort to find something I could at least have some control over; if I could replace the launcher with something that's just app icons and not all adverts it would have been perfect, but alas, Amazon has prevented that, so onto the next thing.
It's really sounding like Apple TV is the best option for something suitable for the whole family.
Can I ask; what is the purpose of the relatively large storage on an Apple TV, do they support "apps" of some kind?

I’d always assumed that was for rented media
You can play games decently on Apple TV, those require some storage and I believe at least the native Apple apps cache pretty heavily to local storage instead of relying on streaming.
There are "apps" too, but all of them are related to streaming video in some way, except for the games of course.
