Go with Roku 2-4 unless you have money to burn and want the top level apple tv. The older gen apple tv's are garbage compared to the Rokus.
Speaking of the Texas game will they be doing that again this year? I am hoping that us out of state with Cyclones.tv will be able to stream it this time around.
Pretty sure he was talking about iOS (iphone), although the same may be true with android. The FAQ claims both apps will be available, but it sounds like they are a bit behind based on what he heard.

You are right. It was the agreement between Texas and ISU and ESPN that gave Iowa rights to show it in Iowa and Texas rights to show it everywhere else. I hope this year's game is on both but I have LHN so I will get it either way.
ATV is not better than the other. The top three media players on Consumer Reports are the Roku 4, 3 and 2, in that order. Apple TV is rated 10th, behind even the Roku Stick, which can be had for $30 if you shop around.
I have a 2, 3 and a stick in the bedroom (BAZINGA!). I think I paid $25 for the stick and both the 2 and the 3 I'm sure I got for less than $50.
I have Apple TV and it works great. I don't care what nerds in a lab say.
I'm sure it does work great. I just spent the weekend at my cousin's house and his works great. And for the same price he paid for one of his, I have three of mine. I certainly don't begrudge anyone who disagrees, Apple is great stuff.
I've got ATV 4, Roku 3 and a FireTV box on different tvs. AppleTV is by FAR the best of the three in our experience.
Many apps we've purchased for iPhone/iPad work with ATV as well.
You can also get a free Roku if you prepay for 3 months of Sling. https://www.sling.com/devices/offers
I see they are still having problems linking your account with the roku app. Have to activate it Everytime I try to watch it. Tech support says they are still working on the issue.
I bought a Roku 3 and signed up for Cyclones.tv today. So far with Cyclones.tv I have had to link my account each time I use it and the organization and appearance leaves a lot to be desired.
It has played the live feed and on demand videos flawlessly and the picture is great. Those were the 2 things that mattered most.

I was asking their support the app question in the context of the app being available on my iphone or ipad. Not sure about appleTV, maybe they plan to release an app for that as well. I was just hoping they would have the app completed for iphone/ipad by 9/3. Not looking good.
Yep, App by game times isnt going to happen. I just went on there and at 1 point you get a popup that prompts you to "tap it to add to your desktop." I did it and I obviously get an App look alike which will take me right to the Cyclones.TV webpage.....only through Safari. I believe those are my cards and I'm going to have to play them.
That really is messed up that they won't have it ready by 9/3 considering that is the only CTV game (other than LHN game). But, the good news is, if it works well out of a browser on any iOS device then it really doesn't matter for this 1 game. You can airplay it to your Appletv or just watch on your computer/iphone/ipad/whatever.
I assume the linking issue is due to the fact that you have to re-login on pc as well each time you want to watch. I hope they fix that, because it is really irritating.
