Users are unimpressed, eager to toss devices if test sticks.

    We use Moonlight instead of Steam Link. It requires a little more setting up at the PC end, but overall seems to be a more smooth result.

      I’ll take a look, but I haven’t noticed any performance issues with Steam link.

        Moonlight blows steam out of the water. I can’t even tell I’m streaming when I use it.

          Can you give me some examples for what’s really all that noticeable?

      Witch brands have moonlight available natively? I think I remember Samsung. Anything else? LG doesn’t…

        I can only speak for Apple TV, I’m afraid.

        Anything that runs android, but still, just get an old laptop with a broken screen and duct tape it to the back of the screen

          Can we install stuff outside of the play store? Like NewPipe?
