Is Apple 4k TV the way to go?

[Barry Smalley]

Or you can do what most of us do and buy a digital code for it, it cost me $3.

What’s the score with this then mate? I’m always buying films from iTunes but wait for price drops and they are never that price.

It might not be for you as you’re buying your films on your UK account already and may not want to have films spread across both.

There’s a few of us now that buy digital codes in $ and have setup a US iTunes account for redeeming cheap films, all the info is in this thread I created.

Thank you mate. I’ll take a read through it.

The number of 4K movie torrents seem to have increased tremendously since the release of this Apple4K TV, can people just capture them directly from the box?

It's down to leaked 4k keys, so disc owners can legitimately (I believe) make copies for their personal streamers
eg http://www.avsforum.com/forum/39-ne...ng-uhd-4k-discs-makemkv-instructions-how.html

EDIT: even personal backup copies currently illegal

@Clovis - I did not realise AppleTV can download 4K

You can download the film from iTunes and convert it into MP4 or MKV if you wanted.

Apple use M4V and can only be played on Apple devices.

Apparently Movavi Video Converter will convert Apple M4V to MP4. Movies available on iTunes is definitely a source of movies available illegally.

The 4k releases are 99% from disc rather than iTunes.

reddit users concur how_can_i_download_4k_movies_from_itunes
so the only way in with A4K would be capture and re-encode hdmi stream - great PQ.

 

[varkanoid]

I didnt say 4k though

 

[jpaul]

I know - but the 4k context was Clovis saying 4k download was possible replying to Ayahuasca.
