RM12.90 for weekly 4K movie
RM54.90 for highest price 4K movie
RM24.90/RM29.90 for special price 4K movie
Bundle movie range from RM15.00 for 4K movie

Malaysia is cheapest. US store too expensive and i will lol'ed if you bought movie in US store.

Not all is 4K

Just curious, how do you guys keep track or discover 4K (or even HD) movies that go on sale? Is there a website that conveniently lists down price cuts or we basically just need to keep browing the Itunes Movie app from time to time?

Hi, is anyone experiencing issues with Netflix app recently? I'm on the 2-stream subscription through a 30 Mbps Maxis FiberHome connection (Speed tests shows normal performance ~30 Mbps up and down). I'm on the latest 12.4.1 tvOS for the aTV 4K.

AFAIK, the 2-stream package does not include 4K video streaming, so 2 simultaneous streams should work fine.

Lately Netflix has been buffering for ~0.5-1 minute when starting any video, sometimes it gets stuck indefinitely. Playback after that point is smooth though. This didn't use to happen 2-3 months back, when playback was almost instantaneous.

There's also the problem with starting a video that is passcode protected (16+, after entering the passcode, it no longer autoplays the video. Pressing play does not respond either), but I figured that it is some bug with the program rather than an issue with buffering or starting videos.

Thanks for taking the time to test.

Not sure why it is happening myself, though there is a thread on MacRumors with a similar complaint.

I'm wondering if there is some DNS geo-location issues, or else IPv6 related routing issues (Maxis enables IPv6 nowadays, but I don't really know if Netflix uses it). Sometimes it gets better if I switch to one of the public DNS services (1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8), other times it is worse. Or it could be Maxis Fiber..... hmm.gif

Yes, various times. sleep/wake/restart - it doesn't solve the problem.

Ok, well i didn't reset it as it's also streaming to another device. However, Netflix on both devices will exhibit this delayed start quite often. I'll try that next time.

Thanks.

Either reset or the wifi router is just not able to cope. Or there's some interference with wifi signal. You can switch to 5Ghz band.

Ok ok. Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm using Ethernet from the aTV 4K to the router, however.

I've updated my aTV 4K to 13.0 and Netflix seems to be a bit better, though I still encounter buffering on start occasionally.
Strangely, sometimes it'll start video playback immediately which is much faster than previously where there is usually a few seconds delay. The problem with passcode protected videos not responding after entering the passcode seems to have been solved as well.

There is no consistently better performance, but I think the 13.0 upgrade is an improvement.
