SkyQ box or Apple TV to run streaming apps?

[Scam]

I have an AppleTV 4K and SkyQ box. We currently use the AppleTV for most streaming apps (Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+ etc.) but I do like the way they can all integrate into SkyQ. I'm going to ditch my Harmony remote so will be using the SkyQ remote going forward, which means maybe using voice control etc. (easier for my other half)

I was wondering, assuming I want to watch a 4k, HDR show/film with Dolby Atmos.. is there any difference in picture or sound offered between the SkyQ box and the AppleTV? Or any noticeable differences? I'm sure my colleague was complaining for example that the D+ app on SkyQ didn't offer Atmos for ages

Thanks.

Apple TV.

Why?

Electricity usage

Can't say I'm particularly bothered about that..

Thank you @lucid that’s the kind of info I was looking for. Do people really get those issues often with the SkyQ box? I’ll have a hunt around online this afternoon..

The other thing to consider is that the sky apps are also available through the skyq mini boxes which cuts down on additional streaming boxes elswhere in the home. So even though the majority of the appeal are sub par they have a use.

Having just upgraded the lounge to an OLED, my trusty plasma is going to be in the study where I can finally use my SkyQ mini box which has been sat gathering dust for a couple of years Good point re. the apps. I shall remind my girlfriend of that when she gets sent upstairs to watch Sex and The City or whatever guff she wants to nowadays
