Spot on Keith. My boss has an android and its a nightmare to navigate. Apple software is so much more user friendly.
I use both, and its not that Apple is any easier to navigate, it's what you get used to using. So if you are an Ipad user you would say it is more difficult to use the android, but it's not, its just different.
You can pick up the leads Scunner has pictured above cheaper on Amazon (or a similar non tax cheat website!) they are not apple products but in my experience just as good, don't forget you'll also need an HDMI lead to go with it to connect to the TV
As Scunner points out you can't use Sky Go through the cable to the TV, nor 4OD, but you can view both on the Ipad/tablet through the appropriate App.
