I've got the latest and greatest Apple TV hooked up to a 4K TV.

You can control it via the Remote app on your iPhone, which can be a bit of an advantage.

I dropped cable TV last fall, went with playstation VUE, then switched to Hulu live when Sony pulled the plug on Playstation VUE. I mostly watch sports (well, maybe not for he last two months), so I'm as likely to use the ESPN app or FoxSportsGO app as I am the Hulu app, but they all seem to work. These days, I've been watching more movies and TV shows via iTunes, Amazon Prime and Disney+. Everything seems to work pretty well. I've got my AppleTV hooked up to ethernet and according to speedtest, I get over 900 mbps, so no problem streaming at all.

I also stream from my iMac (I make sure I download everything I buy from iTune). Comes in handy when the internet is down.

Over the past 6+ months some of the things that I've noticed is that streaming movies and TV shows from iTunes works very well. Prime Video seems to work well. Hulu can be a bit spotty at time. ESPN and FoxSportsGo seem to be very solid. Disney has some issues early on, but it's been pretty solid since the first month.
