Title says it all really, any good?

Not really an apple 'user' I'm sceptical but they're offering Apple TV 5G boxes for decently cheap monthly fees. Free movie subscription for first 12 months too.

Anyone have this? Any good?

Handy for streaming/mirroring my iPhone/iPad/Mac to it, but never use it as a content provider - the TV does that nicely on its own. It can go months in between being turned on. Wouldn't miss it if it died, probably wouldn't replace it. Same for our Amazon Fire TV.

Tend to use the cheapo DVD player more now, simply because it has a USB port in it and it plays every rip I've thrown at it so far.

sorry if I wasn't clear - I was referring to the Apple TV streaming service...

I’ve used it to watch The Long Way Up - it was the only way to see it and I had the free trial from buying an iPhone. One or two movies on there I want to watch but once the trial is up I’ll probably not pay for it as I have Sky Q, Amazon Prime and Netflix.

Got it ‘free’ with a purchase. I have watched “Greyhound”, which was ok, but there is little on there that appeals - Tehran might be ok but it is subtitled so might as well just buy a book - and most of the stuff I look at has a fee, most of it quite a lot.

I had a years free subscription when I bought my previous phone. I used it a total of zero times (actually cancelled it early despite the fact I’d lose access to the rest of the free time).

Aye, I got it free too with an iPad. Never launched it.
