Endless Mike posted:I would be very, very, very surprised if this thing is the only ATV thing available. Yeah same. The atv is a pretty popular product that is probably super cheap to make and doesn’t require a ton of attention from Apple, I don’t see why they’d axe it from the lineup. They have an entire dedicated TVOS, I doubt they’re gonna put all their eggs into one basket that could be a flop.

Binary Badger posted:Ya, that's me.. it took longer to upgrade to iOS 14.5 on my drat phone than the ATV 4K did. I think the front camera has a more accurate light sensor. So it’s probably better at measuring brightness.

njsykora posted:Also the Apple TV app is increasingly on those smart TV platforms now, and TV's support Airplay more and more as well. I got a new TV this week and I can just airplay to it, use the ATV app etc. But I'm still getting a 4K for the Arcade stuff, and because Roku TV is a pile of laggy rear end and also doesn't have a Twitch app. Yeah my parents just got a new Samsung smart tv last weekend and it’s got Apple Music, AppleTV+, and is Airplay2 compatible.

savesthedayrocks posted:How do we get traction for this like HBO? I have no idea what they were trying for, but removing the standings page makes me unreasonably mad. Not only that, but it shows you the current score for every game EXCEPT your team’s game. For that it only shows the matchup and the “Watch Live” button.

japtor posted:Yeah still iffy about the different layouts between my old and new ones. Mute could stand to be somewhere else and/or unique or less prominent, and Siri button on the side still feels kinda awkward. Power button isn't terribly useful, same as pressing whatever button to turn everything on, saves a click on turning off. It'd be more useful if it was programmable for non CEC setups.. The power button is still kinda useful in that you only have to hold it down for a second to turn everything off. Old remote required a button hold + an additional click.

Well they’re supposed to be launching a completely new app soon. After they got roasted on social media and the real media, they decided to toss the entire app and start from scratch. I think they said as early as December? But who knows.

Honestly I can’t believe they don’t make a soundbar/appletv combo about the size of a Sonos Beam. Hell even throw a camera on there for FaceTime like has been rumored for years. They could charge $500 for it easy.

Wouldn’t the point be that the HomePods are listening to the tv speaker and attempting to sync to that? Or am I misunderstanding what’s happening?

Yeah I also tried the FaceTime thing last night and it’s super cool. The way the camera sort of automatically pans and zooms in on you wherever you are in the shot. Seemed to work pretty seamlessly but I didn’t actually place a call, just did the preview.

I’ve had it happen 2 or 3 times in the past few months where the remote works fine EXCEPT for the volume controls. Every time I’ve just reset the remote and it works perfectly fine afterwards.

eightysixed posted:One day someone will tell me why people preface Ukraine with “the.” Ukraine means “border lands” or something like that. So you’re actually saying “the borderlands” in the same way you’d say “the Netherlands”. It’s not really proper to say it that way, but it’s been done for a long time and sometimes old habits die hard.

The problem I’ve been having lately, maybe the past 6 months or so, is that suddenly the volume on my sound bar will stop working with the AppleTV remote. The remote still works for the AppleTV itself, but no longer changes the volume. I tried resetting the sound bar and the AppleTV a few times, even tried re-syncing the IR back to the sound bar, to no avail. What I finally figured out is it’s the remote. The IR must just stop functioning randomly in the remote, and it takes resetting the remote for it to start working again. It’s a pain in the rear end as now it’s happening like every other week or so, but at least it’s an easy fix that takes like 1 minute. So yeah, if anyone else experiences that problem, make sure you try that as a fix. On the newer silver remotes you hold down the TV and the volume down button on the remote until the light on the front of the Appletv turns back on. After a few seconds just press any button on the remote and it’ll reconnect and start working again.

At the very least the purchase of a new Apple TV should come with a like one year subscription to AppleTV+

Speaking of the YouTube app on the appletv, they’ve added ads that pop up when you pause a video and, in true lovely fashion, pressing Play/Pause again does NOT start the video playing again. You have to either press the circle/select button or scroll over to the “Dismiss” button to dismiss the ad and THEN you can press play to restart it. The enshittification of everything continues…

The only thing rumored in the next AppleTV is a FaceTime camera so I doubt it will perform much better or faster or have any killer features that would make you regret buying a current gen model.
