So years ago i had a Gen 1 Apple TV and then went a log time back. Since then I moved jobs a few times and now earn enough that I really committed to the eco system so we are an Apple house. All have iPhones, Apple Watches, iPads, i have a Mac Book Air, Airpods Pros and normal AirPods. so i thought, why not jump into Apple TV.

Main goal was to replace a Sky Mini box i had in the bedroom so i got the 64b wifi Apple TV 4k. Stunning and everything integrates as needed. Airpods hooked in so Wife watches at night and i can sleep, Ipad casts from Amazon as i have a VPN on that and works amazing, Sky Go App works 95% of the time, certainly enough for bedroom viewing. In fact it was so good i bought the 128gb version for the living room and replaced my Nvidea Shield.

the Living room version has stunning picture and sound although i need to either by a new TV or HD Fury for Dolby Vision and Atmos as i have Sonos speakers but again its flawless. Casting from MBA or Ipad or Phone is a breeze and i bloody love it. Should have done it ages ago.

    The only problem with Apple TV at the moment is the lack of integration of third party apps. Netflix, Disney+ Hotstar, HBO Go (these are what I get in my country) none of them appear in the TV app and changing TV profile to another person does not change the profile of these apps. So everyone just use my TV profile and pick their app specific profiles within each apps each time.

      Pretty much for everyone else in most other countries the only app that’s not integrated is Netflix.

    How do you like the widgets showing up on your phone Lock Screen and your watch when ATV is on?

    When you say you have vpn on iPad, do you use that to use another country contents and then stream them to apple tv? Is there way I can hide all the contents I watch to appear on the home page?

      I’ve actually found with recent updates the iPhone remote app is more likely to not find one or more of my Apple TV devices. On the same wifi network, the device is on, but when I open the app it only finds one of the Apple TVs, and that one isn’t even on.
