Hi, I'm trying to set up a Plex compatible device for a TV, it's just going to be streaming HD content from a local plex server so hoping to find an older (and cheaper) Apple TV which will still do the job.

 

Auckland preferred as I'm only in town for a few days before I have to head off again.

 

Thanks!

Might one or both of these meet your need?

 

Identify your Apple TV model
https://support.apple.com/en-nz/101605

Apple TV 4K (1st generation) (with Siri Remote (1st generation))
Model A1842  (2017)
$30

Apple TV (2nd generation)
Model A1378  (2010)
$15

$40 for both?

 

I live in Auckland Central 1010.

I'd be interested in the Apple TV 4K if the OP passes. ;-)

I'd install the Plex app on Chromecast.....far less restrictive than Apple TV..:)
