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.

DirectTV i share with friends who stay at US..1 id can unlock all directv sub apps like disney now,discoverygo,ahc go, etc..

hey man. No need VPN for US iTunes. You can buy US iTunes gift card at lazada. US Itunes update their sales every Tuesday & Friday (around 1pm MY time).
Or even cheaper, you can find digital code from US Bluray / 4k. I do this myself and I have around 300 4k movies in my US iTunes

this really depends, sometimes you can get it in the bargain section for like $1 but i could be mistaken tho. maybe its just the HD movie but if you did it consistently before they announce that users will get free 4k movie upgrade for all the movies they purchased before then you untung la...

Usually The cheapest is us$4.99 but sometimes some movies goes 3.99

Yeah sometimes. But some movies in MY iTunes are only HD. But in US iTunes they're 4k dolby vision dolby atmos...
US bluray  comes with digital codes (people selling codes around $5 - $10)  redeemable on US iTunes. So new releases like Joker, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, Gemini Man all 4k codes can be purchased around $7 each. And how much do they cost in MY iTunes?

They always do. Closed caption (CC) English...

And Avatar has CC as well

Is that for hollywood or foreign movies?
They all have subtitles, it's just a requirement like with the bluray
My god, now I know how our local itunes content differs

I read in other forums that YouTube 4K availability is like playing lottery. One user with multiple devices could get it to work on some but not all. Seems like it depends on YouTube and how they're actually rolling it out.

Just done update and try the color calibration for my Apple TV 4K and it show my TV color balance is accurate, no need to calibrate. lol.

Do you think A12 will slower than A10? Lol

Actually not many changes for new one, so I may not buying anymore.

That's true. There is no compelling reason to get a new ATV...
