the controller also sucks

You can train another remote to work. There's an option in the settings.

I have suggested that, husband was angry saying it's because I'm a luddite/old/stupid. ( No, the controller sucks. )

I would actually recommend replacing more than the controller. Look at one of these - Shield TV - this is the newer version, but I've had one since about 2018 and it hasn't missed a beat.

Agreed. Android boxes are way cheaper. I’m still using a 4 year old mibox s and it works great with the usual streaming apps. The only benefit appletv has is if you want to use airplay or whatever it’s called. I have an iPhone and can still stream Spotify to android with no issues.
