Mahoning posted:The only thing hardware-wise that could possibly make Siri not work as well as it does on every other Apple device is either the quality of the mic in the controller, or the Bluetooth connection to the device itself. The former is possible but not likely considering Apple's track record with quality components, the latter is not likely considering Bluetooth is otherwise super reliable. I agree with this. It just doesn't seem likely that Apple would release something with its core functionality essentially broken.

All the bits get delivered the same way... via download... So I'm not sure how it makes a difference overall. 200mb downloaded from the App Store and 2gb downloaded once the app launches is still 2gb and 200mb of bandwidth.  e.pilot posted:I was just in the Apple Store today picking up an iPad and completely forgot to check out the new ATV. I don't think you would have seen anything.

I meant to ask earlier. I placed my order at like 7:00 am PDT and chose the fastest shipping option. Did any one get told "Oct 30th" specifically? Mine says Oct 30th-Nov 3rd.

Those complaints don't seem too bad. I could see Siri api expansion via fw update. I can also see this not being a yearly product so let's say even 2 years, it seems worth it to me. But even if it DOES get yearly hardware updates it'll be a cool year.

ATV initial impressions: Heard SimpleX may be having issues. Haven't downloaded yet. Remote is cool so far. Takes some getting used to. My iPhone 6S+ set everything up via bluetooth. I HOPE there is a night mode buried in there somewhere (or coming soon). My plasma TV BUZZES like a motherfucker with all that white.

Of course it' going to. Grunt level phone operators never know poo poo about future plans. They just fix what they can and keep you from expecting something they aren't sure will happen. I wouldn't worry.

Anyone have the Simplex App? I respect that it mirrors the AppleTv UI, but Plex's themes are dark. And like I said, my not-at-all-old Plasma TV buzzes the brighter/whiter the screen gets. Does SimpleX have different themes or a dark background/UI?

fordan posted: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. This is intriguing. I wonder if that's not a really great idea. Vacation house or hotel or friend's house. Does Airplay use Wifi or does it use an ad-hoc direct connection?

Lots of little niggles posted but one I have that's a little more than minor is whenever I boot up the ATV the ATV remote is nonresponsive for about 15 seconds and then I see a little pop up in the upper right that says "remote connected" and the. It works. Anyone else?

I let always wakes up and connects fast enough that it hasn't effected my use. Thanks for letting me know at least it's not me. It definitely affects my usage. But in a first world problems way.

Phone: she talks and confirms and reads back. Especially hands/eyes-free. You're watching a movie: What did they just say? *rewinds back 15 seconds* Vs. What did they just say? " I will rewind it back 15 seconds and add subtitles" *rewinds back 15 seconds

Man I'd say a good 90% of the games I have played on ATV run with a bad stutter or similar performance issues. I guess I don't blame Apple for that but rather bad ports or general bad "fits" for the platform. Makes you wonder what the ongoing relevance of gaming will be like on the ATV4 if the games of next week/month/year are more demanding...

Im finding a lot of games disappointing with the remote (not totally surprised) but Rayman is not bad. Silly fun that works *mostly* well except if you click to jump and then your finger lingers on the touchpad even a nanosecond too long you do the fast stomp move which wrecks what you are doing often. I don't expect to be a serious ATV Gamer but I am considering an MFI controller if I can find a good one.

noirstronaut posted:Did people not use PlexConnect before? Not that this isn't somewhat exciting news, but the amusement over the news seems really outlandish as if there weren't solutions towards using Plex before the 4th gen ATV. I used plex connect religiously. It was amazing. It also hosed up, a lot, and required fiddling. This is better.

Craptacular! posted:I wonder if there will be any discounts on these after thanksgiving. I kind of want one, but with a Roku stick and two Fire sticks already I have enough similar devices even though they're not as polished in the software UX department. There will not be discounts on these by thanksgiving, or next thanksgiving. Apple stuff doesn't really go on sale. The 99 dollar ATV3 became 69 dollars years later (recently) when the ATV4 was revealed.

But the weak link would still be the Signal quality to my antenna, right?

I'm getting a fair bit of buffering/loading using Simplex and Plex. It had me at 1080p / 20mbps. Is that like, too high or something? I set it to 1080p / 12 just now which *seems* fine so far... (Not sure if it's my mind but the sound feels a little flatter...?) Anyone else experiencing this or have insight on settings? My network is ample, etc... [Ed] even at /12 it's buffering.
