    Confused about Siri and Apple TV 4K

    Hi. My set up is Apple TV 4K connected to Homepod Minis (watching on a Samsung TV). All apps are up to date. When I speak to Siri via the primary mini to control Apple TV, I have exchanges like: Hey, Siri, go to the home screen/Apple TV home screen: “Just swipe up from the home screen.”...

    Post your Apple Ecosystem!

    Hi all! I’m wondering what Apple products you use daily and can’t live without! I did something similar last year which was pretty fun so I thought I’d continued the yearly tradition to include new purchases. I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max (guess the colour 😂) Apple Watch Series 7 - Green...

    Apple TV 4K (1st Gen) Freezes

    So we have been dealing with a random issue on my Apple TV 4K (1st Gen) that seems to be getting worse. So we mostly watch Disney+ so that’s really the app I notice this on. But when I’m watching that the 4K device picture freezes. The sound will continue. When I try to turn it off it doesn’t...

    Seeking better sound + integration with the Apple TV 4K device and HomePod Mini

    I’m trying to find a good, economical sound solution for watching tv in my living room (15’ x 15’ with three walls. The other end is open to the dining room/kitchen.) I have a Samsung TV and I use an Apple TV 4K device and remote to control the tv. For audio I’m using a HomePod Mini, but I just...

    Apple TV 4K + HomePod pair: stream TV and play music simultaneously

    I have two second gen HomePods set up in "home theater audio" mode with my Apple TV 4K. Is it possible to stream video on the TV and play music on the HomePods at the same time? Currently, it pauses the video feed on the TV and the audio (with graphics) takes over. I don't mind there being no...

    Spatial audio / Dolby Atmos sound very different from iPhone & iPad

    Hello guys, I currently have an audio problem with my AirPods Pro and my Apple TV 4K 3rd gen. I’ve figured out that when I’m using my AirPods Pro, spatial audio sounds very different from my iPhone. It sounds like a reverb/fake Atmos. I don’t really know how to explain but it’s not clear...

    HDMI Audio with an Apple TV

    I have moved my LG UltraFine 32UN880-B monitor, where it is now close to my Kitchen Apple TV. This monitor has 2x HDMI ports, though neither are labelled as HDMI ARC or eARC. The Apple TV 4K itself only has 1 HDMI port. And my JBL 2.0 All In One Soundbar also has 1 HDMI port, which is labelled...

    Screensaver setting doesn't work

    tvOS has this screensaver setting: Problem is, it never works. It didn't work in my Apple TV 4K 2021, and it doesn't work in the 2022 (yes, I'm one of the suckers who bought the 2022 version that had barely anything new compared to the 2021, not even a decent DAC to output 96 Khz audio)...

    HomeKit Apple TV shows "Playing" in Home app while it's OFF

    This issue never occurred before last December when I updated to iOS 16.2 and tvOS 16.2. (I also took the optional new HomeKit architecture at this time.) In the Home app, my Apple TV (4K 2nd Gen) is showing status as "Playing" and yet it's shut OFF right now. And sometimes when it's ON...

    Sound bar rec for Apple TV 4K

    I’m looking for an inexpensive (sub-$350) sound bar to use exclusively with the most recent Apple TV 4K. It’s a small room, with a 55” TCL (2018). This is mostly for movies, TVs, and sports. Streaming music is secondary. Two new full size HPs are out of my price range, and the discussion on here...

    Apple Tv 3rd Gen 4k Remote issues

    I set up a new 3rd gen Apple TV on an 85” Sony Bravia tv. I mounted it to the top right corner of the tv. The Apple TV remote went bonkers scrolling left and down and generally not working. I paired a new unused remote and it did the same thing. I moved the Apple TV to the bottom of the tv and...

    Airplaying Video to Apple TV with HomePods as audio out

    Since a couple of months my Apple TV 4K (2) would stutter every couple of minutes (sometimes even less then that) when airplaying videos, be it from my MacBook Pro or from my iPhone or iPad; the source didn't matter: if I airplay video, the video wouldn't be smooth but pauze for seconds...

    Apple TV 4K 128GB to replace Philips Hue Bridge?

    Hi, I just got my first Apple TV, a 4K 128GB. It supports HomeKit. Did I understand correctly that I can do away with my Philips Hue Bridge device and use the Apple TV for that purpose instead? If so, how would I go about doing that? Thanks in advance for the advice.

    Apple TV 4K YouTube app missing my uploaded content

    Apple TV 4K YouTube app does not show all my uploaded content under "Your Videos." I do see some videos, but not all. However, all videos are visible when viewed from a computer or iPhone. This used to work about a month ago, so I'm not sure if the most recent update has some issues (assuming...

    Apple TV 4K order was cancelled and fully refunded but was delivered (arrived) today.

    I preordered the new Apple TV 4K, it took more time to arrive that promised by Apple. I contacted Apple by chat and they offered me a full refund and I accepted. That same day bought the ATV by Amazon and arrived next day without any problems. BUT, today just heading out of my apartment, I open...

    Apple TV 4k 2022 playing Dolby Vision content as HDR10+ on Samsung TV

    For context I have a 2020 Samsung 4K TV that is capable of playing HDR10+ and not Dolby Vision. Maybe I'm missing something but it seems that the new Apple TV 4K 2022 is streaming movies from Apple TV+ or in my purchased library that are marked as Dolby Vision in HDR10+. Are these two HDR...

    Is the new 2022 Apple TV 4K worth it? I already own the 2017 model.

    Let me start by saying that I don't expect another Apple TV upgrade for at least another 2-3 years, so if I am going to upgrade any time in the next year or two, I might as well get it now and reap the benefits, if there are any. I'll also disclose that my current Apple TV is connected to a...
