I’m in the same boat with the previous gen ATV on an LG OLED. I don’t really feel like it’s worth the upgrade yet, perhaps the next ATV refresh.

Protip: hold play/pause button to bring up a list of audio devices to send the audio to without having to go into settings.

Passing it along because I think I read it here ages ago. It’s super handy! Interestingly the appletv will also output to sonos speakers directly too, I just noticed. Definitely didn’t use to do that. E: also does the amazon prime app play in 4k? (I have a non-4k 4 and play amazon stuff on my tv). The HDR stuff looks fantastic on shows like The Tick.

Does Crave air the HBO shows at about the same time as they show on cable? That was the biggest annoyance with stuff like itunes for hbo shows before..

I got mine a while back with Minecraft for apple tv which is now discontinued  I used to be able to play with my kid with him on an ipad and me on ATV. It was a great price at least.

One thing I have noticed is the ATV now only turns on when I press the home button on the remote or remote app. I like this better because it would always seize control via CEC if the touchpad on the remote got bumped and it was annoying. This is on the 13 beta I guess, didn’t realize I had a beta certificate on there after the last one but whatever.

Feenix posted:I mentioned this in the Arcade thread but I’d be real curious how much better the ATV4K performs in games than the ATVHD. I have the latter and it seems... fine but not great. Agreed, I was playing that game that is like a 3d version of spy hunter with a car and boat and it was not especially smooth on my non-4K. Need to check out the Arcade thread, arcade owns. Link?

It seems like the main touchpad for the ATV remote doesn't turn everything on anymore, I gotta hit the menu or tv screen button to turn it on, which is a big improvement imo. I keep the remote in a pouch hanging on the side of the couch and if the cat bumped the pouch before it would turn everything on.

I noticed holding play/pause no longer lets you select audio source so you can switch to airpods, did that function get moved? Having to go to the setttings bluetooth menu option sucks.

I can never find the drat remote so just always use my phone I would like some new homekit hub features from a new ATV as well, like building scenes with devices that don’t directly support them like the ikea tradfri bulbs.

I have a sonos soundbar that kinda sorta works ok and a homepod based one to replace it that just works with the tv remote or better yet controlled over the hdmi would be great. The sonos just has an optical in and an IR and it never seems that responsive to the remote inputs. It works, but eventually.

sonatinas posted:I can’t play The Pathless on my appletv HD. I tried it on my ipad pro and was extremely underwhelmed. It might just be me getting old or something but there are so few games on apple arcade that hold my attention it’s kind of a bummer. It’s a great platform just.. ehh. My kids and I have a blast playing sneaky sasquatch on Appletv though so worth it right there (in apple one bundle anyway)

That price is straight up bonkers. It should be in line with the sony flagship 1000s with maybe a $30 apple tax on top.

Just tried the new physics based puzzle game “Spire Blast” on appleTV, it’s an arcade game and great fun on my XS. Woof it rans horribly on my ATV, it’s the non 4K version. Really needs a cpu bump!

Yeah I think if apple keeps pushing Arcade they definitely need the ATV rev. Arcade is actually a really good solution for gaming with kids, with a bunch of really fun family friendly games. It has displaced the switch for us which never was that good for kids, apart from mario kart there aren’t a lot of games that younger kids can play. Even that 2d super mario where they can be nabbit is a stretch. Sneaky Sasquatch, butter royale and the lego brawl are all fun for kids though. Getting arcade as a freebie in the One plan is basically a bonus.

Violator posted:Wow, I’m surprised. I’m guessing your kids use a controller? I can’t imagine little hands swiping through games very well using the Siri controller. Yeah, the HD is really old but the 4K is getting long in the tooth too so I’m not super keen on getting one with a cpu 3-4 years old. I haven’t noticed too many Plex hiccups thankfully, and video playback is fine. Screens are like magnets for kids, mine got scary adept at using an ipad by like, 2. Now the 8 year old can operate the appletv pretty well. The trickiest thing is moderating the screen use because it is such a crutch to get some drat peace and quiet

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. Thanks for taking one for the team buddy

American McGay posted:My nephews play the game where you're a Sasquatch hanging out in the woods or something. Yeah Sneaky Sasquatch is great for kids. It's like a wholesome and adorable version of the original Grand Theft Auto games. It also runs fine on my ATV Gen4 non-4k. I'd just like a faster CPU for stuff like Spire Blast and any other physics games, even if it was the CPU from the iphone 10 or whatever that'd be great.

I have a few sonos too and drat I just hate having to use their app so much, but thankfully I can airplay to most. The 5 sounds drat good though.

I’ll probably just go with the minimum size ATV again like my HD, I don’t think 32GB is very limiting. Actually I should check mine to see what the space free is, I assume that is a menu option somewhere in settings?

japtor posted:I was following a thread on another forum where this came up, there wasn't a place to show storage, it was all just invisible to the user...but I guess that changed in 14.5 (or I completely missed it before), cause there's a Manage Storage thing now that shows you apps/sizes and can delete from there. Course I don't see anything showing free space, but all the apps I have (streaming stuff) are pretty small, like 20-100MB. The screensavers on the other hand can be like a gig each I think. Wild! I probably will just stick with the 32 although the 64 is only $20 more… hnnngh nah it’s probably fine. I hope there is some kind of xcloud app for the tv that lets me stream xbox games but I guess the one coming to ios is browser based so probably not

Something I just thought of was to check if the new ATV has Thread like the Homepod Mini, and it does! https://www.gearbrain.com/new-apple-tv-4k-thread-2652671227.html This is cool for low power homekit stuff. Made total sense it is in there I just hadn’t noticed it mentioned before.
