How likely is it that I'll be able to head to Best Buy/Target on Friday and grab one of these? I'm cautiously holding off on preordering in hopes I can get one faster from retail.

Could someone give me the rundown on why Plex is a thing I should start paying attention to?

So grabbing one of these at Best Buy tomorrow is definitely not happening, right? +thanks to everyone who explained a little about Plex. Sounds neat. If home sharing ends up going stale on me I'll check it out.

Whitezombi posted:Order from Best Buy says 11/4. Went ahead and ordered online like I should have on Monday. I'm excited! I use the Apple TV for everything tv related aside from gaming so I'm sure I'll like the new one just as much as the 3rd gen. Being able to sleep to Apple Music through the tv seems lovely.

Canceled my order last night and grabbed one at the local Best Buy. Sure it has it's day one issues and lack of content but it's a lot better than the 3rd one as a base. I'm really happy with the purchase. The animations linked with the touch controls are absolutely lovely. If you're freaking out and trying to cancel because ~bugs~ just relax. It's the best set top box I've used and I've messed with quite a few. The aerial photos are loving gorgeous

My biggest complaint about the new Apple TV is that they don't let Siri talk. Let my girl speak, Tim.

appropriatemetaphor posted:ATV is great so far, much better than my roku 2. As much as I appreciate the Roku for weird cooking channels, porn, and 24/7 80s music channels it's hilarious going from one to the Apple TV. The jump in overall polish and quality is staggering. I'm hoping with the App Store being a thing now we'll get more of those odd niche channels on the ATV.

I'm probably only using mine for AirPlay, Netflix, HBO, FXNow and a few other apps and there's no way I would go back to my 3. The 4 is so much more sleek and smooth in the interface and switching and opening apps is lightning fast.

Feenix posted:I'm debating taking my ATV4 back. Ideally for a replacement but maybe just for good. I love the ducking thing but it buffers and locks up like a bitch and my ATV3 never did. I did a factory restore to no avail. It really shouldn't do that, so at least try a replacement to check if the ATV4 just doesn't like your internet or something. Mine has been in use for at least 7-8 hours a day since launch and it has never crashed, buffered abnormally, froze, anything like that.

noirstronaut posted:I'm still debating if I want a new Apple TV. What is everyone doing with theirs that they didn't do on the old one? The old one feels like v.0000002 compared to this. The remote and interface alone are worth the price. The speed of app launching/switching is incredibly useful as well. One of my least favorite things is sitting down for a meal and wanting tv and having to spend a few minutes fumbling with a remote. The ATV4 makes that last a few seconds. I don't even care about games or most apps but I've been very happy with my purchase.

I may be wrong but I don't think there is an actual internal volume setting with the ATV. It's dependent on your setup.

Has anyone noticed the reduce loud sounds setting not working as well after the last update on the ATV4? I might be crazy or experiencing my stupid Sony soundbar freaking out for the millionth time but I feel like it's not keeping the sound as consistent as it used to.

I love our new Apple TV, the interface is so much better and it has an app for Shudder, a streaming service we use a lot. My dad wound up getting one, too. How is Shudder?

Any reasons you dislike it? It’s what convinced me on music streaming and it completely changed how I listen to music. The selection is huge even for stuff I would never expect, quality is great, interface is great after some rough years. If you have multiple Apple products it’s a no brainer.

That’s fair. The features and interface are exactly what I want and the suggestions and recommendations have gotten really good for me. It’s the only platform I’ve ever used that actually understands metal genres so that’s a pleasant surprise. I’m sure Spotify handles that fine now though too.

We just got our first 4K tv. It is awesome but all I have plugged into it is a base PS4 and a Apple TV from either one or two generations back. A PS4 Pro isn’t the best purchase considering the PS5 is probably dropping late next year + they could announce a Pro price drop at E3 next month. So that leaves the gf and I considering an Apple TV 4K. We currently have Prime + Hulu + non 4K Netflix so the options aren’t great but 4K rentals and 4K screensavers sound nice. Worth it?

WithoutTheFezOn posted:Whether your current one is one or two generations back makes a huge difference. AppleTV 3 doesn’t have an App Store or the TV app, while AppleTV 4 does. It’s a 4 yeah! MarcusSA posted:The Apple TV 4k is amazing. I don’t need directv and I’m definitely buying a PS5 at launch but yeah gently caress it, I think I’ll buy a ATV4K. It’s worth it in any situation I think and should be pretty future proof at this point. American McGay posted:I enjoy movies a lot and don't mind the occasional $5 iTunes rental and a nice 4K TV combined with a AppleTV4K is great. Your mileage may vary. I did manage to forget that we typically watch movies on the PS4 since we have wireless surround sound headphones for it. That complicated things a bit since we can’t with the Apple TV. Hm. Still probably worth it though.

I appreciate all the advice! I have realized though that gaming + movies (with wireless headphones) is our #1 focus so I think we might just go for the PS4 Pro. I’ll have an ATV4K eventually but in the near future I’m okay with doing big deal games movies and shows on the PS4 Pro and random background noise stuff on the ATV4. Thanks for teaching me about the the ATV4K though, it seems like a lovely box. I’m glad we’re so far past the first two iterations of the ATVs. Those were... not very good. The only downside of this is that the PS4 doesn’t have Criterion/Shudder so I still don’t have a reason to subscribe to those  Big Huski Boi posted:The ATV4K has Bluetooth, should work with your headphones. The PS4 headsets do wireless over a usb dongle. No Bluetooth unfortunately.

So before the last update it was possible to search through shows and movies and only include what you can stream. Is that gone now?

I’ve never had an issue with it remembering my place in shows/movies and I don’t mind the startup noise but WHYYY is everything moving to autoplaying previews. I can’t imagine anyone likes that and it honestly makes me want to use Netflix less every time.

Honestly my take is that I really loving hate subscriptions. It’s one of my least favorite trends of the modern age. I like things it’s attached to but the system as a whole, ugh. Apple at least doesn’t entirely gently caress me over though. Their stuff is usually high value with a consistent level of quality throughout. If I’m going to engage in modern entertainment/technology I may as well go with the company who has given me quality for my money for 10+ years.

I’m really thinking of just saying gently caress it and buying a 4K box. I’ve had a 4k tv for over a year and really, reaaally need to watch these 4k extended lotrs before the wait to do so with a new 4k Apple TV melts my soul. Plus I’m sure if I do the new one will drop immediately.

I don’t love it but it works fine for me and always responds how I expect it to. That’s all I ask for in a remote. I think it serves its purpose and nails a classic Apple minimalist design but I have a feeling I’ll like the new one quite a bit more.
