    Apple TV 4th Generation video quality

    I purchased an Apple TV 4th Generation for a Samsung HD TV (720p) I have in my bedroom. Yesterday I watched the first movie on it ("mother!") which I rented from iTunes movies. I really was expecting a better quality resolution at least like the one I get on my cable TV provider's HD channels...

    I’d like to watch the upcoming 2018 Rose Bowl parade, but I’m one of those much ballyhooed cord cutters. Does anyone know if the parade will be streaming in a channel or app that I can access on my 4th gen Apple TV?

    Apps Help push ITV to launch an Apple TV app (UK)

    I'm really REALLY bored of waiting for ITV to launch an 'ITV Hub' app for the Apple TV 4 in the U.K. Their refusal to do so seems obstinate at this point. To really go all in with an internet driven 'get All my TV through Apple TV' approach it is essential that ITV and Channel 4 release apps...
