I'm finally interested in getting one.. was holding back because I hated the previous remote control.

I also need it for HBO Max and Disney+ 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 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.

Does the Dolby Vision still suffer from green line flashes like the current AppleTV 4K ?

I never had that issue on older Apple TV 4K and new Apple TV 4K as well.

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.

Wish Apple actually give HDMI cables inside their retail box for AppleTV 😅
