I know that companies have had Apple TV SDKs for some months now, but I think only got them right before WWDC.

I'd love to seriously try other TV devices, but so much iTunes content...

Suqit posted:Nothing is stopping you from using more than one. I use an apple TV and an amazon fire stick. Different inputs on the same TV. Yeah, it's just annoying to remember what's where. I have a Chromecast somewhere, I'll dig it out and try it again. Needing to use a phone for it was sort of annoying.

No way was TiVo going to compete with SciAtl and friends on hardware pricing. They were always a software play.

I'm looking forward to recording 4K video on my new iPhone and needing to use some non-ATV device to play it back on my TV.

Thwomp posted:Unless you bought a TV in the last year, good look getting your TV to play the 4K video from your non-ATV device. I, uh, did buy a TV in the last year, and it can take 3840x2160@30Hz input over HDMI, as well as directly streamed from Netflix/Amazon/YouTube and so forth. Do you think it's uncommon that people who buy Apple products have new TVs?

TheJoker138 posted:Question to 4k TV havers: Is your TV really either that close to you or over 60 inches so that you can actually tell the difference between it and 1080, or did you just get drawn in by buzzwords and need to buy a shiny new thing? I needed to buy a TV because I didn't own one, and the weird geometry of my room meant I wanted 75" or so. There weren't that many TVs with good display quality (local dimming, etc) that didn't have 4K, but looking at a few other displays running 1080 when I was shopping convinced me that I could tell the difference.

smackfu posted:People would expect games to run in 4K. The box could output 4K without the game running on 4K render targets, just like games scale up on consoles all the time. Or it could output 1080p like the consoles and people would be *perfectly* happy.

Triglav posted:I can see product management like that coming into play, yeah, but can the A8 chip inside the Apple TV handle 4K rendering and playback? iOS devices have specific hardware for H.264 decoding, so one would imagine that to be the case here as well. I very much doubt it's happening on the CPU.

When voice control works, it's fantastic. Definitely looking forward to doing that instead of the terrible pointer keyboard thing, even if I have to spell things out.

Bass Bottles posted:This probably IS them trying to negotiate down that % of income. They're not thinking that banning Apple TV will drive sales on the Fire TV, they're just trying to hurt Apple enough to get the upper-hand in discussions over the inevitable Prime app. Amazon is pretty aggressive at pushing those fees down. I had some entertaining conversations with them about affiliate fees when I was working on Firefox.

thrawn527 posted:I would absolutely love the Apple TV remote if it had a Home button. Being on an episode of a TV show in Netflix and wanting to back out to go to a movie or something not in Netflix takes a ton of Back clicks. Press and hold Menu for a couple of seconds.
