Apple TV or a supported Google TV box? Compare the whole viewing setup

Prices checked October 22, 2026

Choose the viewing experience first, then compare the total annual cost of the equipment and services that fit it.

The device and the subscription are separate choices.

Apple TV can suit households that value Apple integration and its available apps. A supported Google TV device can suit a prepared TiviMate experience. Check that the exact model runs your chosen apps before buying.

Compare your own first-year total.

Add the delivered hardware price, any app licences not included in setup, the annual cost of subscriptions you select, StreamSolved setup and optional Support. Subscriptions are purchased directly from providers. Do not compare a bundled StreamSolved stream tariff: we recommend across providers to suit your household.

Keep costs you will retain.

Keeping an Apple or other subscription is a personal viewing decision. A device choice does not mean every subscription must be cancelled. Check the programmes you want, permitted simultaneous use and actual picture quality.

Where StreamSolved adds value.

We guide the provider referral, assess suitable hardware, configure supported apps and help you search and browse. A supported TiviMate configuration includes the prepared work available for that backbone; other services need their own checks.
