i have 2 apple tv 4k 3rd gen just because of how great they are as jellyfin clients, specifically through infuse. honestly i would put it a step ahead of the nvidia shield just because of how great infuse is.
Hello Jimmy, Enjoyed your video, I'm thinking about buying the Apple TV 4K and wanted to ask you, is it okay to mount the unit behind my HDTV maybe sticking it on with velcro, would the siri remote still work good?
Yes it does. I have my apple TV just hanging behind the TV's wall mount. The remote doesn't give any issues. Just keep in mind that since the device is cooled passively, don't keep it in a cramped area.
I do like my Apple TV 4K a lot, but the user profile implementation is all jacked up and RUclips is horribly optimized for tvOS. It would be great to have different app pages and auto-user selections on Netflix/Hulu/etc. when you change the user profile in tvOS. That way, when Becky selects her tvOS profile, her own custom page appears on the Apple TV home screen and Becky’s Spotify account, Apple Music account, Netflix profile, etc. are defaulted when she’s on her profile. When Dion selects his user profile, then the same happens for him.
PlayStations always chug power. That’s why they have fans, dude. If they didn’t chug power they wouldn’t have fans. Chugging power equates to heat being released into your room. I use a PlayStation in the tropics and I literally don’t turn it on because the temperature in the room goes up several degrees just sitting on the menu… not even playing anything. The Apple TV literally has no fans. I’ve NEVER heard it running. NEVER. It’s literally no contest, the Apple TV is almost infinitely better than the PlayStation for streaming movies and videos. Period.
My PS5, even sitting on the dashboard doing nothing will be hot and I can easily notice it when I go right in front of the console. The Xbox Series X in the other hand is way less hotter, at least for me.
You forgot to mention it’s the best way to stream due to Dolby vision and atmos support. Developers also optimize their iOS apps better than the built in tv apps
Not Disney+ unfortunately. I bought it 2 days ago and never knew there's an issue with hdr content played in sdr on Disney+. I learned that it's been a problem for months looking at reddit posts but there's still no fix from Disney. The tvos work incredibly well tho and Siri integration is a game changer
@@Ventus7777 wait hey sorry so i use disney+ and am thinking about buying apple tv to stream it.. i have 4k tv.. are you saying disney+ content wont be hdr via apple tv?
I never considered the idea of Apple TV due to my Vizio tv just having the apps. But I kinda got tired of how Vizio tv runs so I decided to try an Apple TV out. Turns out I really did love it and it doesn’t have a lag to it like the tv does when loading or using apps.
I use Vizio too and my tv is a few years old now and it glitches quite a bit. Apps are slow sometimes and casting causes a ton of volume glitches for some reason. I can cast a Tubi movie and all of a sudden, my TV goes max volume in 3am. I’m about ready for a streaming device.
Had a Samsung Smart TV since 2017 and been using the default TV UI and Disney+ doesn't even load properly. Put in an Apple TV 4K and it's all smooth and the 7-year old TV looks brand new.
The reason I’ve went to Apple TVs is because the built in streaming devices in some tvs just don’t work anymore because they’re too laggy. The RUclips app on one of my Roku TV literally won’t load some videos. If you’re in the Apple system this is a nobrainer. Your movies, Apple Music, AirPod support and screen mirroring more than justifies it.
Apple music app is incredible. Being able to play music videos in Dolby Atmos is such a superior experience compared to playing it on RUclips. One thing that it's missing tho it's a hi-res lossless audio support. Long overdue but hopefully they will add it at some point
Since the AppleYV allows multiple users now, couldn't you set up a "guest" mode if you don't want guests having full access? I haven't tried it, but was just thinking. Also, I lost my 2nd AppleTV remote in my couch weeks ago and have been suffering with Sony's implementation of Android TV since then. It's no better than any of the rest. I didn't know about the "find your remote" feature. Thanks!
You're right! You could go that route if the goal is to just have a separate account. I was thinking more of an account that wipes once it's done being used, similar to how some hotels will let you sign in and it automatically wipes once you leave. That's a shame about Sony's UI. Was hoping since it uses Android TV it'd at least be better than the others.
The new LG interface is awful. My 77inch C9 has a apple tv because of it. All my TVs but one have apple tv boxes. Waiting for a new one so I can upgrade the one on my C9 and move that to my lviign tv that is struggling with android TVs updates that makes sense it slower and slower
i still use the nvidia shield tv pro, just because its one of the stronger tv boxes android has and just feels the most stable and fastest. also the 4k support feels more nice, using stremio mostly and browser search for some anime websites. it even can host its own plex server which is nice, as i connect it to my nas since then i can also use its hard drive. its a nice but old device, but its so flexible i like it. i feel like apple tv lacks to much features overal like browser support and airplay doesnt cut it for me, since it will degrade streaming website performance. its not the same at that point i rather connect a hdmi to my laptop much rather and use my laptop as a home cinema/gaming device, makes no sense to buy anything if its lacking too much features
Dope but meanwhile the shield TV is years old and doesn’t have as much bells and whistles but Is still super fast chrome cast and has every app one can want… including the 🏴☠️
I’ve had the Apple TV for many many years. I do not understand why people don’t buy them and they’re not used or popular. I have several connected to different TVs in the house. The guest account, press hold the home button and you can add multiple users. There is so much built-in even connecting to your network computers as well. You have to go in and be quite highly technical to use everything but it is a joy to use.
Think they might be too costly when most folks can use the TV OS options for free. Good call on the multi-user! Think I'm looking more for like a dedicated guest account though, that auto-wipes once they leave the user account or something similar.
I have an amazon fire tv and the os is super slow and glitchy. I will definitely look into getting the apple tv even though my cat uses the tv more than anyone to watch bird videos. It will be worth it!
Great video, thanks! At 1:50 you say that if you have the 128Gb version, it comes with an Ethernet port allowing Apple TV to become an Apple home hub. Doesn’t the 64Gb version (without Ethernet port) also allow for using Apple TV as an Apple home hub, via Wi-Fi? Or does home hub option require ethernet connectivity?
Great video! Just Subscribed to your Channel… i have recently purchased a mini led Samsung and a QD- OLED Samsung…. Picture on both are phenomenal…. But TIZEN their OS is complete trash…. Purchased Apple TV for both and now they’re complete. I absolutely love them and their userbility… i also love that my AirPods connect to them and Spatial Audio works very well with them!
I have an Nvidia Shield and it is Amazing. I am not a gamer other than a board gamer but I know there are killer games available. The Nvidia Shield is about the same price as Apple TV but I like it's layout use cases and ability to interact with iPhones and Google pixels as well. It can also serve as a home device for a Google home.
I have both, and both are great at what they do. The apple TV is better in being a pure content consumption device, whereas the shield is best if you want more niche stuff out of your device. Although yes if nvidia does bring out a new shield model, it will be superior to the apple tv.
My LG tv built in apps work great, even the Apple TV app for it. I find those easier for less tech savvy family members.. my wife can never figure out how to change hdmi for Apple TV
You don't need to change HDMI. Most TV now have CEC, so if they detect that you are trying to use your apple tv (or any device with CEC), itll switch to that source.
Can you watch MKV or MP4 files from a home server on VLC or KODI? My Nvidia Shield is going on 9 years old. Looking at replacements if it ever just stops working.
Infuse supports network shares and pretty much every codec with the exception of DTS audio. Apple TV does not support DTS so if your files use DTS audio your options are limited for streaming devices. If you use surround sound and your home server has the grunt I'd recommend serving the files via Jellyfin or Plex as devices are dropping support for older surround sound codecs and usually when they do have support for older surround sound it's Dolby and not DTS. Jellyfin and Plex will allow you to live transcode the audio (and video) to supported formats on whichever device is streaming.
Hi you've been posting some great content which i keep watching , I’ve got the marantz AV- 7706 Processor i want to hook-up the new apple tv 4k to my processor, want to know if I'll be able to stream 4k dolby atmos content from Netflix, Prime , Disney etc. to my processor which is hooked up to my LG G3-77 inch TV
I have an old plasma TV that used to belong to my grandad so no TV os so the Apple TV makes it more in keeping with modern times also the speakers in the TV sound a bit muddy so I linked a small Bluetooth speaker to the Apple TV and that’s generally how I consume a lot of media I think it would be nice if it have a USB connection so you can connect external drives or even an option for a SD card as some of the games get a bit big
How does AirPods Pro with Apple TV 4K compare with Tv audio swap on Sonos Ace / Arc? Which one you like best? Which one has got the best height channels? Thank you!
which version of iPhone do you have to have in order to be able to search for remote control on apple tv? I have been waiting for this function to search for the remote control. Thanks for a great RUclips video.
Jimmy, flip your PS5 the other way ("upside down"). It's probably chugging because the liquid on the CPU isn't properly touching it. It's the reason your PS5 shouldn't stand up either. Really stupid of Sony to design the PS5 this way.
I've had the Apple 4K TV for a while now, the model with the ethernet port. I have it paired with an Echo Studio speaker for sound, and use the Echo for managing the smart devices in my home. It's a very good combination.
The apple TV is now “old tech”! Apple needs to keep up. I will keep with my Roku 4k for the present as it is a superior streaming device for half the price. Apple now needs a bridge device to kill its opposition. I think a device that streams, facetime, a true homekit controller or even a mac mini hybrid. Thanks for the video. Regards Rob.
Its not. It depends on what setup you have as well. If its an entry level 4K TV, then might as well skip the apple tv, and use that money to increase your TV budget. But if you have a decent setup (a 4K TV with genuine HDR support and speakers/soundbar with dolby/DTS) and are in the apple ecosystem, then even at this price its actually decent value.
