Poll: ** The official 2022 Apple TV 4K thread (it has the A15 chip, HDR10+ and everything!) **

You don't need the 128Gb version. I know it's only twenty quid or so more than the 64Gb one but the internal storage doesn't really serve any purpose except for downloading apps and 64Gb is plenty.

Has network too if you’re wanting to plug it in.

 

[Feek]

Ahh yes. Good point.

Worth getting the box over using the app on a 2022 model LG OLED?

Absolutely.

Bit the bullet and ordered the 128Gb as I have plans on adding a NAS in the future. Im expecting big UX jumps coming from my old XE9005 android tv

The Apple TV is amazing, especially if you have an iPhone/iPad and AirPods, if you go to search something on the Apple TV (on YouTube as an example), you get a prompt to type it in on your phone rather than using the remote. You can also use your AirPods which in my situation is gold as I can watch movies and loud TV shows (even with the wife with her using hers) while our boy is asleep without the worry of making a load of noise and waking him.

Picked it up today and done basic setup. Night and day difference in UI responsiveness.

Im missing the whole iphone/watch integration as i have an android but ill just live with it. Priority today is no lags.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting BBC iPlayer support.

I understand you have got in touch about why UHD content isn’t available on the Apple TV yet.

I checked this but I’m sorry I don’t have any updates to share. However, I have taken your comments about this and made them available to the Senior Management and the BBC iPlayer Product team. We constantly try to improve our services and hearing from our audience is a vital part of helping us do that, so thanks for getting in touch.

Hmm. That is a shame. Hopefully they improve it.

I guess if everyone keeps hounding them they’ll get the momo.

 

[Robert]

Ahh yes. Good point.

The 128 also acts as a thread border router

 

[BMox81]

It looks like - note a lot of the stuff I’ve been reading is from 2021 and 22 hardly anything up to date as it looks like people have just given up - it’s 720p rather than 1080p.

Lot of discussion was around the World Cup that I was reading. Looks like everyone just used the native app on their tv to get the UHD. That’s what I done/do.

Frustrating as the two of them should be aiming to push it up to 4K.

Yep - I have a 4K Max Fire Stick for anything HLG HDR that I want to watch on iPlayer. It's the same with Spotify - while every other platform will get the new updated UI, the ATV will be stuck on a bog standard one without profile support.

THE ATV is a great device don't get me wrong but it's not without flaws.

 

[Reuben klang]

We really shouldn’t have to have two separate devices for a public broadcaster though, that’s the most annoying/frustrating thing for me.

Doesn’t look like it’ll get sorted any time soon, it’s times like these I wish someone who hack it.

 

[Broken Hope]

I just don’t understand that if iOS or iPadOS supports HDR on iplayer then tvOS should too as it’s all the same frameworks.

 

[HACO]

I just don’t understand that if iOS or iPadOS supports HDR on iplayer then tvOS should too as it’s all the same frameworks.

It's probably because iOS/iPadOS iPlayer app doesn't share its codebase with tvOS.

And if you are using Infuse (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/infuse-video-player/id1136220934), you can easily run out of space for the database on the 64Gb version.

 

[ChrisD.]

Plus if you add iCloud Photos libraries on the ATV the extra space comes in handy for that.

 

[Cryfreeman]

Not sure I’m liking 17.2. They have moved the small banner for choosing TV+. Library etc from the top to a huge thing on the left that takes up 1/4 of the screen
