    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...

    HomePod HomePod Mini pair works for music but not TV

    I have set up a HomePod Minis as a pair. This works wonderfully with music! Sound comes out of both speakers to create a stereo effect as you would expect. The problem starts when I watch tv. Everything is only playing out of one speaker. It's annoying! I'm using Apple TV so I assumed this...

    AppleTV 4k (2nd) - Randomly Goes into Stand By Mode

    My loved Apple TV has seen better days. It recently (over the past few days) has decided to randomly and without notice, go into stand-by mode. Occasionally it will happen after seeing this pop-up: "Press and hold the power button to shut down." Other times... it gets me in the middle of a...

    "This library contains no local media content"

    I've always shared my Photos/iPhotos from my computer to the ATV so we can all enjoy them together on a bigger screen. I haven't done it for a while and now when I wanted to, it doesn't work. I can share other images but it doesn't work when I choose the Photos app in the "Share" part of the...

    1st Gen Siri Remote on the 2nd Gen ATV4k?

    One of my ATV4K1s has been having issues lately, leading to having to restart it a few times a day. It might be due to the latest tvOS software, or maybe HW issues. Either way, I was thinking about purchasing a new ATV4k2, and moving the problematic ATV4K to a less used TV. But, I was curious...

    YouTube Playback Speed from Apple TV 4K Paired to HomePod mini

    On my Apple TV 4K (1st gen), which I have set up to pair with one HomePod mini, when I play YouTube videos at double the playback speed, I don't get the sound to properly sync since I am doubled on my speed of playback. The whole sound experience gets real choppy. Is it something people here...

    I've had 2 different cases in the past week where purchased movies/TV shows do not launch. Once on the last version and once on the current of the OS. I have to reboot the Apple TV in order to get them to launch. Anyone else having this issue?

    Whenever I try to watch my videos I shot on my iPhone 13 Pro Max (yes it’s 4K60 Dolby Vision HDR), they are blown out and look absolutely awful, even though my Apple TV is set to support 4K60 Dolby Vision. Is there a way to fix this? AirPlaying is also pretty awful (actually, even worse) cause...

    Apple TV 4k 2021 remote buttons unresponsive requiring power cycle

    I am having 2 issues with the ATV 4k 2021. About 10% of the time when I turn the ATV on with the remote the scroll/touch wheel works, but none of the buttons work. The only way to fix it is to unplug the ATV and it starts working again. The other issue is that the HDMI CEC randomly stops...

    iPhone 13 Pro Max I caved in......

    Well as always I could not control myself 😂 I managed to get a hold of a Sierra Blue iPhone 13 Pro Max in 128GB yesterday. Immediately I noticed how stunning the device is and the build quality is exceptional. I instantly noticed the 120HZ refresh rate on the display. Not as noticeable like...

    Hi, I'm using the new Apple TV with my projector and then using airplay to stream the audio to Sonos.
