Nice! I love this version. The best part is since they used a beast of a chip it will be useable for years and years! I’m seriously considering picking up a second one since I gave my one of roommates my Gen 1 version for their room, and I miss having one in my bedroom.

Congrats. Every other type of TV available in the market is now ruined for you. 👍🏽

It’s the best for listening to podcasts if you’re into that and of course, Apple TV+ shows.

At first, I didn’t care that much for it. We had the latest Fire TV device (well, still do) and after we got it we converted to HomeKit. Now, I love it. The simplicity, lack of ads…I would like a couple more buttons for Netflix and Prime and maybe a customizable one or two. And would like the buttons backlit. Overall, it’s the most used one now and I love the doorbell video showing up on the TV when it is on.

Congrats! I love mine! Use to be a Roku guy and this is VASTLY superior!

Tips: many of us have discovered that the YouTubeTV app doesn’t work well in Dolby 5.1. For that app specifically, switch the device to Stereo audio setting. Oh yeah, consider doing this wireless audio sync when you start using it, it takes like one minute https://www.idownloadblog.com/2020/10/15/set-up-wireless-audio-sync-apple-tv/

Is there any benefits in streaming apps picture quality? Compared to tv’s own apps.

nice now pair two apple homepods for that awesome dolby atmos home theater system

its amazing. only thing that’s bothering me is this weird thing with spotify where the playback ALWAYS pauses at ALWAYS around the same time towards the end of a song. right around where a notification for the next song shows up.

5 months in, still no solution 🫠🫠🫠

I just got one 4 days ago and I actually can’t believe how I’ve gone this long without it. best money I’ve spent, I ordered them for the rest of the house within the first hour!

using your iPhone as a remote is incredible as I can never find the remote especially with my kids. I have one in ever room, 4 rooms and my phone can easily switch to control all 4. Make sure you set it up right with the right hdmi cord to the arch hdmi so you can control volume from your phone. You can even use your find to Find you remote (similar to find an AirTag) with new software update. When you put your airpods in the apple tv has a pop up that says to you want to switch auto to airpods… which is really cool. But, sometimes I’m watching tv at night and my wife starts to fall asleep, so I use this shortcut:

From the Apple TV’s home screen, press and hold down on the Play/Pause button on the Siri remote. After a few seconds you’ll see a screen like the one above. Simple select your bluetooth headphones and boom!

And second I set an accessible shortcut to reduce white point and it reduces the brightness of the tv screen. The shortcut for that is triple click the < button on remote or from iPhone control center remote its holding home button and selecting accessibility

Lastly, i love that how ever i configure the app layout on the screen, each tv in the house syncs and shows the exact same layout.

Love my ATV i have two HDs, and two 4k 2nd gen. Trying to find an excuse to get 4k 3rd gen.

Get ready for AirPlay not to work.

The inclusion of vpn on the Apple TV is a major game changer for me as DNS was a ballache

I like using the AppleTV to do my apple fitness workouts - ie…yoga, meditation. also, I like using my iPhone for the remote rather than the one that come with the AppleTV

I’m sorry.
