My Apple TV 4K 32GB storage also never passed 10GB of usage.

Shouldve made the 32GB one more affordable la so that more people will join the bandwagon and maybe more local contents would appear there.

I think if you only care about video streaming (e.g. Netflix), 32 GB is more than enough. 64 GB is needed for people using Apple Arcade or other games frequently.

I'm getting one (64GB) to replace the existing AppleTV4K which will then move to my bedroom biggrin.gif

AppleTV can only use Media Streamer to bypass Geolock.

If only they ExpressVPN app, it would be perfect - media streamer is a hit and miss for me, depends on server load.

I have another router set up entirely on ExpressVPN so whatever devices connect to its wifi automatically VPNed.

Maybe you can try this. Just get an AC86U solely for VPN, should be very cheap by now and able to hit up 200++ Mbps on LA Server.

That's the reason Apple remove the gyroscope from ATV. Apple know you guys will use DualShock.
Then all is good!

Mine also with delivery courier still.

I am not really expecting much from this latest Apple TV. I am using the ATV 4 HD version and just upgrading to 4K. That's the main reason to change but I guess no new great benefits other than 4K and new remote.
Would have been nice if the used a never processor than the A12 Bionic.

So far, i have many other streaming devices but experience is still best with ATV despite being 2-3x more expensive.

From HD to 4K is huge differences especially in HDR.

As long have a TV that is very capable of HDR playback. Else they is no different.

I have a problem with ATV. Remote will not turn off TV but will turn on the TV. Volume control works fine. This has been on-going problem for me since ATV 4 HD. I confirm that HDMI-CEC is enabled. TV Brand is Sony.

That's weird, I'm using a Sony TV myself - whenever I put my ATV on sleep mode, my TV will switch off all-together.

Might wanna look at the ATV settings again, usually it's just the CEC function.

Ok my short comment on the New 2021 Apple TV 4K.

Did I regret upgrade - No.
Is it worth upgrade - Yes.

Improvement
  • Remote - Now I am confirmed using the new remote as remote instead previously I use TV Remote. Huge improvement.
  • The New Apple TV 4K obvious faster - now I can set Interface in Dolby Vision and no more jerking.
Above 2 improvement already worth the upgrade. biggrin.gif

I also notice it is much clear video quality and better sound quality, but is this placebo, I cannot sure, but I feel as like others comment it is better.

Beside this, I no longer feel weird on two 60fps HDR film, it just simply look good and no more shaggy feel anymore - Gemini Man & also Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk.
This two film was record as 60fps for UHD Blu-ray.

yeah..the 2021 ATV 4K seems to have significantly improved video quality against ATV HD. Videos look significantly more vibrant.

Finally the New Apple TV 4K 2021 Support YouTube in HDR biggrin.gif

But the implementation a bit weird like what you did in Windows 10 where you must set your main interface Video by enable as Dolby Vision or HDR.
Recommended set as Dolby Vision if your TV support it as it looks as stunning as SDR for Home Screen in Dolby Vision.

If you not enable Video as Dolby Vision or HDR then the YouTube will not able to playback HDR video as HDR.
The regular SDR video at YouTube still playback as bt709 which is SDR format even though your main interface is set as Dolby Vision or HDR. The match content here at Video setting doesn't work for YouTube apps.

Later you can check the YouTube video is playback as HDR or not by clicking the Stats for nerds and check for Color.
If the Color show as bt2020 means the video is playback as HDR format. The issue is you won't know the YouTube video is HDR or SDR as they is no particular label in Apple TV 4K.

This is not working for previous generation of Apple TV 4K 2017 where all HDR video is playback as bt709 which is SDR format nor matter how you set the main interface.

Ok my short comment on the New 2021 Apple TV 4K.

Did I regret upgrade - No.
Is it worth upgrade - Yes.

Improvement

  • Remote - Now I am confirmed using the new remote as remote instead previously I use TV Remote. Huge improvement.
  • The New Apple TV 4K obvious faster - now I can set Interface in Dolby Vision and no more jerking.
Above 2 improvement already worth the upgrade. biggrin.gif

I also notice it is much clear video quality and better sound quality, but is this placebo, I cannot sure, but I feel as like others comment it is better.

Beside this, I no longer feel weird on two 60fps HDR film, it just simply look good and no more shaggy feel anymore - Gemini Man & also Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk.
This two film was record as 60fps for UHD Blu-ray.

Congrats
Seems like Apple make good enough upgrade to make people happy

It can pair with any display as long it is 16:9 aspect ratio.

Not working for 21:9 aspect ratio as everything will be stretching.

Not that severe but its like flicker (1second) of green lines and thats it. Maybe I’ll try changing the cables and see if it helps.

Actually Apple do give HDMI cable for US/UK buyer as I had join an Apple TV 4K FB group and notice all of them is getting it.

For those who intend to buy new Apple TV 4K (2021) Make sure your HDMI cable can support 4k HDR. I had problems with display and I suspect that my cables are too old as I was only using 1080 previously. I've just changed to Ugreen HDMI 2.1 cable and under testing now.

Cable support range is very important.

HDMI ver 1.4 and below is trash now if you want 4K HDR in full speed especially if you are turning on Dolby Vision.
Previously I often get screen blank or garbage after playback 4K Dolby Vision when using HDMI ver 2.0 cable.

So later I decide change to HDMI ver 2.1 cable which normally label for 8K 60hz but Dolby Vision is required more bandwidth than 4K HDR.
Off course HDMI ver 2.1 had no impact if your TV not support HDMI 2.1

Just grab HDMI ver 2.1 will settle everything and more future proof. But please keep in mind, HDMI ver 2.1 is much fragile and easier break, so take care and pull out gently.

Thanks for the tip! I never did think about that. Considering that I connect my Apple TV 4K to a soundbar first (for the Dolby Atmos support) and then to the TV, I would assume then better to have both those cables at HDMI 2.1 right?

They is no need connect to Soundbar to get Dolby Atmos, as long your soundbar support ARC.

I did not connect to sound bar and Dolby Atmos still detect and active.

I am using LG TV and LG Soundbar, previously I also connect like that but then I notice it is slighly darker than direct connection and more signal lost issue.
So now I connecting directly to TV and Soundbar to TV ARC HDMI port.

So far so good, working perfectly, no lip sync issue, much brighter and never face signal lost issue anymore. Dolby Atmos also working as it suppose.

Most televisions don’t support Dolby Atmos pass-through to sound bars and receivers - I believe this is the reason why Apple suggest direct connect to soundbar.
My LG TV support Dolby Atmos and I believe support pass-through as I can direct connect to TV instead of Soundbar.

Previously I was using Panasonic TV which don't have Dolby Atmos support and this way of connection is not working for Dolby Atmos.

Hi Aptv members,

I need your help. This is my 1st apple TV4k. After connect to my 4K TV and with Denon AV receiver, I have an issues. Dolby atnos not working in netflix. HDR and atmos content only appear as HD and 5.1 in netflix. Previously, I only use netflix apps in windows 10. Everything work fine. I also bought a new HDMI cable which is a 8k cable.

I notice, 4k hdr and atmos is the main issue. Some title only appear as Ultra HD 4K but not HDR. Signal from APTV to tv already 2160p 60hz HDR.

3rd Apple TV 4K never support Dolby Atmos in TrueHD track. Only streaming service DD+ track in Dolby Atmos is support.

Yes my Denon receiver support HDR and setting match content turned ON. I'm now understand about limitation of Atmos in true HD. However, netflix should allow me to enjoy HDR and Atmos. I did try to play a content from apple tv+ and my receiver successfully deliver the atmos audio anf HDR work fine.

Additional info, I'm on Premium netflix plan.

If your AppleTV+ can deliver HDR and Atmos, then no issue.

Not all shows in Neftlix support HDR and Atmos. Normally only Netflix original show support it and not all is support it.
Those not Netflix original show is 99% not support HDR and Atmos, and basically only FullHD. This is worldwide same.

Take for example below screenshot.

Only following film was present in 4K HDR
- Love Death + Robots
- okja
- Mitchells vs the Machines

The rest is not support 4K HDR.

Also New Apple TV 4K got labelling issue. This is known issue and wait Apple or Netflix to fix it.

In main screen was label correctly, when you enter to play it play correctly (based on TV label change as LG TV will appear HDR or Dolby Vision logo when support video detected).
But when you pull down the menu it label wrongly. All 4K HDR file was label as HD in pull down menu for Netflix.

What title you known is 4K HDR but now not.

Title such Next Gent and many netflix original also. Already refer to netflix and they can do nothing. I make an appointment call with apple today at 10am.

After read through apple forum, I understand the bugs only on the label. When you play the content, it will play HDR and atmos correctly. Then, relief for me.

If you can't find the apps at Apple TV Apps Store, means don't have.
The apps have in iPhone not means it is available in Apple TV, it depends the developer do for Apple TV or not.

From official site, it seems only do for Android TV Box, not for Apple TV.

I think Apple silently fixed it. Now I try High-Res Lossless no longer facing song stop when screen lock.

I found another album is Hi-Res Lossless. You can playback it as Hi-Res Lossless or Dolby Atmos for this album.

My ATV 4K 2021 seem like got an issue with Bluetooth. It can't detect my Dualshock4. Need to call apple tomorrow and I hope somebody is there. I'm not sure whether they close due to MCO. I need them to replace my ATV.

Are you trying to pair it?
Pairing needs the device to be almost touching the ATV4K before it'll see the new device.
Once it's paired it should work from normal usage distance.

Yes but not using VPNs. ATV doesn't support VPN at equipment level.

You can use DNS based geo unblockers which works well on ATV. I feel that it is better solution than VPNs and easy to deploy.

Sometime you can get lifetime subscription for a fixed fee. I have been using one for more than 6 years.

Hello guys. I’ve ordered my Apple TV a few days ago. Would like to confirm if it’s normal to go through two customs clearance points? Also, it says it’s waiting for import licence and that I should contact dhl if I had not been contacted by them yet

Is there anything I need to do?

Hey Apple TV users, has anyone managed to get their home kit to work on Apple TV?

I’ve added myself into the Apple TV HomeKit already but I do not see anything or even the home button in the control centre

How do I get it to work? Or is it not compatible in Malaysia ?

You can use voice to search in YouTube, Netflix, HBOGo etc. You just can't use Siri

Is it worth buying Apple TV 4K in malaysia...?

I'm trying to see if it's worth buying it for my dad for him to watch his mainland chinese drama from iQiyi and WeTV, knowing that tvOS is more user friendly and trouble-free than those el-cheapo Android-port boxes...

Hello guys, just want to ask did apple recently allow for Siri to be used in Malaysia ?

I’ve been using my Apple TV with my main Malaysian account and an Australian account for fitness plies. Normally can only use the Siri on the Australian account but today after update to 14.7 beta I could use Apple TV on the Malaysian account too

Is this a feature or bug lmao

i have been using Getflix and has been working ok for many years. When looking for DNS geo unblockers, make sure

1) They support all the channels that you have to watch. Netflix is the worst as most VPNs and DNS unblockers do not support US Netflix well especially on Apple TV.
2) They support DDNS update as your account it tied to your IP address so you will need to set up your router to update your public DNS address automatically to the geo unblocking service. You also need to make sure your service provider and router supports this feature. Unless you are using static public IP address, your IP will be changing frequently.

you can check stacksocial webpage for lifetime bundle for DNS service. There is one now by keepsolid but i can't tell if that service supports DDNS update.

Hi,
got mine new Apple Tv 4K (2021). I subscribe to Surfshark VPN. For Apple Tv, they request to change the DNS in the Apple tv to theirs (Smart DNS) but that doesn't work most likely to Unifi (my ISP) hijack the DNS (https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4655543/all). So, I decided to activate the VPN on my router (Archer C6) instead. The problem is I still can"t any solution for this. This going on for a week. Anyone here have successfully connected to VPN (US) for the apple TV by any method ?
Thanks.

you need to do three things.

1) You need to manually set the DNS address on Wifi settings on ATV. The DNS should be changed to the one provided by your SMART DNS provider
2) You need to make sure that your internet service provider is providing you with a Public IP address. For maxis users, you can ask this directly from Maxis customer service but you will need to change your PPPoE username on your router
3) You need to register your public IP with the Smart DNS provider. You can do this manually or automatically if your router supports DDNS service.

I have been using Smart DNS on my ATV4 HD, ATV4 4K (latest version), Android Smart TV, Fire Stick 4K all without problems. I use Getflix Smart DNS. I have previously used Unifi but now on Maxis (public IP).

I started using Smart DNS more than 7 years ago. It is much better solution than VPN in my opinion because VPN is inherently slow and all your internet traffic is routed thought the VPN if you configure it on your router.

For Smart DNS, i configure it only on the device itself which needs that service.

My Apple TV is connected by Ethernet to my switch which is connected to my deco

I just did a reset a few hours back or the router so I don’t think it’s a dchp issue

Anyone else notice this too? Internet doesn’t seem to stop, or it comes back instantly so I don’t notice

Sometimes YouTube 4K drops to 1080p when it happens but not all the time

It is working for me but I don't like SmartDNS as all point to US server. They is no VPN apps allow you to choose others than US.

Now I basically use Chromecast with Google TV for all streaming platform as it was easier and support all kind of VPN. I love Chromecast with Google TV instant switch within SDR, HDR and Dolby Vision.
This Chromecast with Google TV is lower power than Apple TV 4K and it can instant switch, why Apple TV 4K can't, it will black screen few seconds.
Also I love Chromecast with Google TV suggestion "For You". You need VPN to US, Canada, UK and etc. to have this feature.

Apple TV 4K became for playback local files only. sweat.gif

Today I noticed on my Apple TV when I turned it on and opened YouTube that there was an additional blacked out user in between my google account and guest.

It read something along the lines of “ use YouTube singed out “ or “ user has singed out “. I did not get a clear picture as it happened really fast and I didn’t think much about it as my account was still there.

Nobody else signs in to this Apple TV. It’s just me.

Then, after browning YouTube on the Apple TV I left the room and opened YouTube on my phone which is an iOS 14.7.1 iPhone 12 and it has a pop up at the bottom of the YouTube app asking me to sing in or “continue” in the Apple TV as me. Even though I was already singed it.

I cancelled the prompt and so I thought that it was an account issue and something maybe was wrong with the app so I reset the YouTube app

After resetting the app, when trying to sing in using the mobile app, nothing comes up as it did just a few minutes before. I’ve been trying for hours and no sign in pop up has come, and I don’t want to keep using airplay as I have YouTube premium

Why would the sign in prompt not come up when I try to actually sing in but come up when I’m already singed in?

I tried reinstalling the app on my phone to no avail and YouTube support is not working too

Is there anything I can try? Anyone else have these issues too?

The only thing I did differently was delete an account on the Apple TV and change my region back to what it actually is.

Does anyone here uses Apple TV with a TV where a sound bar is connected via arc? Is there any audio delay / lip sync issue that you face so far, when audio output on ATV is set to Dolby digital 5.1?

Hello

The new Apple TV’s have an audio syntonisation function and can remove delay by using your iPhone microphone to measure it

Not sure though. My AppleTV 4K (2021) connects to my sound system and HomePod really well. You can even output your Nintendo Switch/PS5 audio to the HomePod from the new AppleTV 4K.

I connected my Apple TV 4K to my Philips soundbar which is then connected to my TV via ARC. No delays or anything at all from what I have been using as the Apple TV is connected to the soundbar directly with a HDMI cable.

I have problem with my 6 month old apple tv 4k.

Suddenly it just flashing white status light. No power up. Blank screen.

I tried to pull out power cord no matter how long... it is still the same. Tried the resetting with remote by pushing menu and + button simultaneously for few second. Still no response...

Any idea?

Anybody’s Apple TV randomly pop up and say no internet connection detected ?

I get this a few times a week, even after resetting my router so I’m not sure if it’s a dhcp problem.

Other devices have never shown any error likes this before, the tv connected to the same router also does not give any warning.

Have changed Ethernet cable but issue still there

Anyone else experiencing this too? Internet doesn’t seem to noticeably stop however maybe it does for a short period

Most probably they put the wrong price, suppose RM499 for 32GB, and RM799 for 64GB. I also just pulled the trigger to get the 64GB, see whether they ship 32GB/64GB. Or they might just cancel the order and refund. tongue.gif

It is working for me but I don't like SmartDNS as all point to US server. They is no VPN apps allow you to choose others than US.

Now I basically use Chromecast with Google TV for all streaming platform as it was easier and support all kind of VPN. I love Chromecast with Google TV instant switch within SDR, HDR and Dolby Vision.
This Chromecast with Google TV is lower power than Apple TV 4K and it can instant switch, why Apple TV 4K can't, it will black screen few seconds.
Also I love Chromecast with Google TV suggestion "For You". You need VPN to US, Canada, UK and etc. to have this feature.

Apple TV 4K became for playback local files only. sweat.gif

After updating my ATV 4K to TV OS15, airplay audio become a problem for me. The audio is ahead of the video by about 1 sec when audio is routed through airplay speaker.

When I tried airplay audio with Ipad (with IOS 15), audio and video were in sync. All the devices are connected to same network.

Anybody experiencing this problem?

Now I have another problem... my Apple TV 4k color seems washed out... Never encountered this before until today... changed hdmi cable, no fix... tried Color Balance using iPhone but it couldn't calibrate either...

Watching Netflix but all the videos seemed highly compressed, can see boxy color gradient...

Anybody knows what's the problem here...?

UPDATE: Problem solved... Some stupid 4K HDR settings...

I just answering him that Netflix is working in my Apple TV. My smart TV is an old model, it don't come with Disney+/AirPlay/Emby.
Apple TV can play Fitness+, and it also act as my Apple HomeKit. Why I bought it? It just simply because I am using Apple ecosystem.

If you don't need it, then simple there is no reason for you to own it.

Just a question... I have both the AppleTV 4K Gen 2 and AppleTV HD and I noticed that the streaming volume on it for HBO Go and Disney+Hotstar is somewhat softer compared to Netflix and Youtube on the normal TV speakers and also on the OG HomePod via ARC.

Anyone else face the same problem? Any way to fix it? It still sounds softer even when disabling the loud noise reduction feature.

My 4K tv doesn’t support Dolby Atmos, but my Apple TV 4K does. And it passed through my Samsung Q600A soundbar and connects back to my tv via ARC. So now I can enjoy Dolby Atmos thanks to Apple TV 4K

Currently using Nvidia Shield TV (Tube) in my living room as main streaming device

Thinking of getting Apple TV 4K (2021) to replace it as just changed family member devices to apple ecosystem already.

Wanna know any cons on Apple TV 4k right now from users here ?

Current home living room setup:
LG CX
Samsung Q950T soundbar

Nvidia shield connect to soundbar to get either Dolby Atmos or DTS:X
Only con right now i find is that native Youtube app of Nvidia shield cannot support HDR sweat.gif

Apple TV’s Dolby atmos does not work over ARC. It only output through HDMI.

So your sound at has to be able to pass through Dolby Vision in order to get Dolby Atmos + Dolby Vision

Right now i plug direct to the soundbar then output video signal from soundbar to TV.
So far everything works well except:

1) Youtube app under Apple TV cannot do "Match content" so right now my default setting for the UI is set to 4k60 HDR sweat.gif
2) There is no VIU app for Apple TV (mainly for my wife's K-drama)

Others still under exploration.

hi all.

I finally upgraded my ATV 4 to ATV 4K after using it since 2015. I have some question if anyone here can help to answer:

1. My old ATV 4 is dead. No power. I tried to bring to Mac City service center but the guy said it is not repairable (if under warranty it is 1-to-1 replacement, no repair service). Is there any other place I can check?

2. I am using a quite old Samsung NU7300 4K tv. What is the best way to set ATV 4K? From what I read, I use 4K SDR 60Hz, enable content match. For chroma I set to 4:4:4 even though I have no idea what's the different.

3. Related to no. 2 above, how should I set my TV? I currently use the Standard settings. Previously I use Dynamic when watching movie (running from Netflix samsung app. because my old ATV4 does not have 4K).

Thanks in advance!

1. sorry bro, this one i have no idea unless self DIY.

2. chroma 4:4:4 normally for SDR, if you set to HDR, it will be 4:2:2 but depends on your TV's power.

3. TV display setting i think is based on user preference. Normally i would avoid Dynamic or Vivid mode which looks so fake. Standard with warm 2 (some is warm 20) is the best.
Other wise, you may use the Apple TV calibration : https://www.macworld.com/article/344476/iph...ion-how-to.html
Though it may not look 99% accurate but it's the most easiest method today.

Can we play Apple music - lossless from Apple TV 4K now?

I connect my Apple TV 4K direct into my soundbar and output image to TV.
I see there's an option to trigger Lossless under Setting - Music app there while there is no "auto"

But somehow once i change to lossless, it macam loss the ability to play Spatial audio cause my soundbar wont have "dolby atmos" source detected.

Anyone got problems streaming Disney Hotstar on their Apple TV? Every time I try to play some content, it says "Your account <number> does not allow you to watch this content on TV/Laptop" and then the app closes. But no problem on my other devices.

No issues at all, I just watched Eternals on my ATV4K yesterday using the Disney Hotstar app on it. Did the billing not go through? I remember I had an error when my credit card expired and I had to key in the new info at the time.

Turns out it’s a problem with using the Getflix DNS which I use to watch overseas streaming channels. I have to turn it off to use Disney Hotstar.

I believe not via wireless link but if the external HDD is on the same network and visible, you should be able to use VLC (Apple TV app) to open files on that.

QUOTE
Local Network Playback is for file sharing on a local network using Windows network shares or UPnP file discovery. VLC accesses media files in connected local directories. If you have an on your network, you'll find these when you tap the Local Network tab. Each one of your local network file shares shows up on the screen. Select them, select the share you want to play, enter any logins that may be required, and browse the files held there to your heart’s content.

When playing media, a swipe down on the Apple TV Remote gives you access to track selection, playback speed, media information, audio controls and the ability to download subtitles for the media, if available.

Another lower power option instead of running a full blown PC is actually using a NAS and have PLEX or VLC hosted on the NAS. My friend runs his PLEX and media hosting from his Synology NAS

I have another router set up entirely on ExpressVPN so whatever devices connect to its wifi automatically VPNed.

Maybe you can try this. Just get an AC86U solely for VPN, should be very cheap by now and able to hit up 200++ Mbps on LA Server.

Does the VPN method allowed me to view disney Hostar or Apple+ as US region ? Or i need a US apple id as well?

As disney + in US have imax and atmos format but malaysia dont have.

you need to have a separate Apple ID set up with US address just to be on the safer side. I never logged my My Apple ID on my Apple TV 4K considering how Apple eco is always connected to each other; location info etc.

Hmm.. any one has Apple TV + LG TV having this "screen change" symptom when watch Youtube?

My situation with all firmware updated:
1) Apple TV 4K (2021) - TVOS16
2) LG OLED CX

My Apple TV default setting is 4K SDR 60hz only with match frame rate & contents ON

Whenever i watch or exit a video in youtube, the screen will turn black for few seconds (similar to how we watch video with Dolby vision / HDR that moment) but here it doesnt change from SDR to HDR/DV.

The video stays SDR only but dunno why the "black screen"

Any recommended TV sound bar that you all have used that works well with the Apple TV? I currently use a Philips Dolby Atmos one and slowly its starting to have some problems turning on and being detected.

Hi all,

I have problems with my Apple TV while browsing for movies selection in Netflix. suddenly there is harsh sound and after that there is no sound when I switching between movies selection. if I continue to browse the selection for a longer time, it will have no sound permanently even the movie has started where I need to restart everything (TV and Apple TV) to get the sound back. to handle this currently once the I heard the harsh sound, I will immediately return to the home menu where there are other apps showing e.g., Disney Hotstar and toggle between apps until the sound return. Once the sound return, I can re-enter Netflix and continue browsing for selection again. I'm not sure anyone can understand my problem description here, but if you do understand, is this problem coming from my apple TV or TV or anything else? anyone experience the same problem as me?

Thank in advance for anyone replying to my question

I'm not sure if its the same issue as what I am going through, but mine does this whenever there is an ad on Youtube. From what I have read online, this has something to do with watching a Youtube video and the ad having different formats. So that momentary black screen is due to Apple TV changing formats as your settings has Match Framerate and Contents on. Turning off this feature seems to solve the problem for me.
