Has anyone looked at or tried using the 3rd gen as a "travel" AppleTV? I currently bring a HDMI cable and the Lightning-HDMI adapter when I travel, but being able to Airplay and use the video apps is appealing. I just suspect I'll run into hotel Wifi issues. Just a thought since I'm probably going to pick up a 4th gen Apple TV on my way home tonight.

Mahoning posted:Holy poo poo, there's a QVC app. I don't watch QVC or buy poo poo from there, but it is the absolute perfect fit for the ATV. It plays the live feed of QVC and has a "speed buy" button. Are they giving up 30% to Apple?

Important safety tip, don't idle in the app store. I did, fell asleep, Apple TV goes to sleep and turns off TV, touching the remote later ended up buying an app even with the TV off. Yes, a bit of shooting myself in the foot since I don't require a password to purchase, and I was able to cancel the purchase, but..

Settings>Apps has the ability to turn on and off "Automatically Update Apps;" it defaults to Apple's preferred "On."

Both the PS4 and Apple TV 4 will tell the TV to tune to their inputs if the TV is capable.

EL BROMANCE posted:As a Comcast customer like myself, you have to know this is undoubtedly due to Comcast being the most stubborn and useless communications company on the planet. Hence we don’t even get the Viacom channels. Comcast has said that they're interested in an open and platform-agnostic standard for authentication rather than Apple's closed one which doesn't strike me as a terrible thing. Plus Comcast already knows Apple wants to eat their lunch since they reportedly had talks about partnering to do a video subscription service that broke down, so the desire to help Apple TV supplant the X1 settop box as the home video solution isn't real strong.

OldSenileGuy posted:Is the “Apple updates your HD iTunes purchases to 4K HDR” policy a permanent, ongoing thing? Or was that a one time thing to promote the AppleTV 4K release? Also note that if you get movies in your library via Movies Anywhere matching then you won’t get the 4K version unless you bought the 4K version from Vudu or the other participating stores. Or at least so I’ve seen online. I now own an AppleTV 4K along with my ATV 3rd gen thanks to the DirecTV Now promo but still don’t own a 4K tv. Don’t understand why Apple won’t let me stream 4K to my 5K iMac.
