Yeah I don’t see the point of making the panels if they already have the Apple TV. Every modern smart TVs can turn on directly to whatever input the Apple TV is on. I haven’t touched my Sony remote in months. Edit: I’m probably the outlier where the Apple TV is the only device I have plugged into the TV, no other inputs

Henrik Zetterberg posted:Oh my god, just announce a new ATV already. I've got a new TV waiting and I'm sick of using the stock apps. What does the current one not do that a new one would? Or is it just not wanting to buy a 4 year old device when a new one is around the corner if you could the last 2 years of rumors as one giant corner

Violator posted:I ended up upgrading to Apple One (or whatever the plan is called) because it was just a few dollars more than everything I was subscribing to already and I wanted to try Apple News and my wife wanted to try Apple Fitness anyway. So I have Apple Arcade but there is very little that interests me. It seems like a no brainer for them to dump a bunch of money and resources into this but it just seems like it hasn't taken off yet and their heart isn't really in it. If it's included free with your bundle, or if it's just $5 a month, then it seems like a good deal. But I was hoping for something that would grab me and there wasn't. But I'm a super casual gamer with very limited tastes related to what I grew up with (play experiences like Doom, Quake, MK, SF, Twisted Metal, Nintendo games, etc.) and I haven't gamed seriously in over a decade so I'm super behind the times. If you're an RPG fan or somebody who branches out more than me there might be something awesome on there. I assume people just sync whatever Bluetooth controllers they have from the last 3 generations of gaming consoles.

I bought a bright red silicon case for my ATV remote so now I can tell which end is up and easily spot it in the couch. Cheap fix that probably gives Johnny Ives an ulcer.

I like CableMatters stuff, I picked up this 3 pack of 8k HDMI cables for $20 and they've been fine. I am running them in the walls and wanted to not worry about swapping them out anytime soon https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-3-Pack-48Gbps-Support/dp/B081NXV3ZR/

Endless Mike posted:The idea was that the TV app would be your hub for all your viewing and you'd just go there to get recommendations and get whooshed right to whatever you wanted to watch. It didn't pan out well especially given that Netflix doesn't hook into it. Yeah, it was before they even launched AppleTV+ Also the first time you press it it asks if you want to use it as the home or as TV app now

Costco has the Apple TV 4K for $40 off when you buy two. Costco already has a cheaper price so they end up $150 each. If you buy 3 then it’s $80 off. Each capacity has a limit of two so you would have to buy two 32gb and one 64gb to get the discount, for example.

Martytoof posted:I moved to Chromecast w/GTV a while ago because I needed to sideload a Japanese IPTV app but man, the remote that came with my 4th gen ATV was a disaster if I wasn't staring directly at it. Perfectly symmetrical right side up and upside down, unless you happen to feel that you're thumbing an elongated button meaning you're holding it upside down. Yeah, I *guess* the texture was different on the touch section, but man, having to fondle my remote for ten seconds to determine if I'm holding it right is not my definition of a "good user experience" lol. I put a $2 silicone case on my 4th gen remote that easily tells me what side is up, and makes it easier to spot in the couch cushions too The new remote has a raised pad on the top so yeah, it's easier to instantly tell what side is what

We got a minimum 2 more years before a new ATV refresh. The last one was really just to fix the remote anyways. There's nothing the A12 current ATV 4k can't do that an A14 or better could.

I had something similar happen when my kids got some sticky substance under the buttons. If it’s an old remote you might try cleaning or replacing it.

The TV app was redesigned and the navigation menu moved from the top to the left side. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2023/12/redesigned-apple-tv-app-elevates-the-viewing-experience/ I like it a lot. I use the sports section to direct me to wherever the NFL games are, and if you have any streaming subs they pop up on the bar there as well.

Roku makes more money on selling ads than they do selling actual hardware now. Amazons hardware division is unprofitable. The AppleTV is priced fine, the rest of the field is artificially low to drive eyeballs for their ads.
