damn the price so affordable, mine a10x 4k bought 999 last time iinm

yes, now considered dirt cheap. becos u are paying even lower price than the non-4k version last time even for the base 4k model now.

Can Astro Go be install on the apple TV 4K? Last time I check it can’t but that was a very long time ago.

answer is NO

you can know by checking App Store for that App
for example, Disney+ Hotstar, Compatibility in App Store mentioned Apple TV, which means can install on tvOS
whereas Astro on the Go, not mention Apple TV in Compatibility

is not Apple not allow, is the Astro developer does not allow us to install in tvOS i guess

will get one will be moving to new house year end, just nice
and the thread support can gives me future smart home plan

haih, damn.

Thanks for reply. I'll buy it anyway...

think will get this one, I'm interested

at this price point, it's very tempting

My TV not 4K…otherwise I’d buy this new Apple TV

Actually if you own the 2021 AppleTV 4K like me, there is no reason to upgrade as everything still works. Here are some reasons:

The cheapest 2022 AppleTV model do not have an Ethernet or Thread support.

The new 2022 AppleTV no longer have a fan, it becomes thinner and lighter as well. This is not a really good thing if your AppleTV is hidden away in some cupboard like mine.

The only new feature is HDR10+ as compared to the older model (aside from A12-A15 otherwise), but Dolby Vision is already superior than HDR10+, supports way more content, and supported in more TVs. This is only good if you own a Samsung TV that refuse to support Dolby Vision but HDR10+ standard.

The only way to justify the newer model is if you game eg Apple Arcade a lot on it. Otherwise most of the features are already there in the 2021 model: eArc to HomePods, Thread, Ethernet

The pro of the new Apple TV 2022:

- Cheaper price tag as compared to before

- A12 to A15 Bionic is a great jump.

- Huge jump in storage. But then 64gb in previous model is plenty already for a streaming device

When will it arrive to Malaysia? I thought November 4th.

Even lion city does not have it yet.

the apple tv is good to carry around for travel to be used with the hotel tv via hdmi port.

malaysia can buy already

nice...

Ordered mine

Have you received yours? Usually it arrives earlier.

yes, received yesterday 22 Nov, but not yet setup cause need put in another house

Just got mine too.

Got mine. Very easy setup as it will immediately download all my previously installed apps (except strangely amazon prime). Needed to log in to Netflix/HBO/Disney but otherwise was a painless migration.

Much snappier navigating through menus and the faster processor is very much evident when browsing YouTube. No longer any black screens as it switches resolutions. I'm not a gamer so can't comment on that though

My remote died within a week. Sent it for warranty claim at an authorised service Center in Berjaya Times Square. Was told might take up to two weeks

i didnt use the remote since day 1, found that using my phone remote app is easier
maybe i need use the remote more often in case got defect

I was told no issue with my apple tv remote, the service center just had to do pairing of my TV remote with my apple tv and it works. The remote somehow lost pairing with my apple tv.

Guys, seek opinion .. it is wise to go for the 128gigs version than the 64gigs version? I am planning for smart home setup.

Just go for 128gb, it's only rm100 difference. Wired connection will be better for smart home setup, much lower latency.

Just started using Apple TV 4K with ethernet for my HomeKit set-up. So far the response is very good, Aqara M2 hub is also connected via ethernet... now in a few more weeks will be installing my blinds and curtains with lifesmart homekit hub, hopefully that one works fine.

you upgrade to new home architecture intro in iOS 16.2? i upgraded mine last few days on my Apple TV, seems more responsive

I don't have iphone.. is it ok to buy this?

I saw reviews, they say must calibrate the colors or something using iphone?

yes you can, but any reason why not other android box
i dont see it ask me calibrate with my iphone during setup

Thanks.

Android box is not really official in Malaysia..

Slow updates too.

Have not updated to 16.2... just realized there's 16.2... gonna update now.

Been using Apple TV for a month with pairing to AirPod pro. Really good experience with this 2. Can feel the sound from the AirPod is from every direction. Is like u don’t feel using earphone.

What apps are you using? AppleTV? Netflix? HBOMax? Disney +?
Or all apps have the same good experience?

netflix and disney + at the moment..netflix need see which acc u have. mine can get atmos and ultra 4k. using my nephew account..lol

anyone managed to successfully used smartDNS on their Apple TV? or ideally to use vpn on router?

I'm using ExpressVPN's DNS for my Apple TV.

It is not perfect, occasionally takes forever to load - especially for local contents (because its a VPN right?), so after streaming 1 episode and when it continues to the next episode, it will require a system restart otherwise it will keep playing at low-res (blurry).

if dont want to wait shipping from apple, just walk in to machines or switch

That bad, huh?

I wonder if using ExpressVPN's router method will yield better results. If not, no point in even subscribing for their kinda pricey subscription.

I tried Smart DNS Proxy (free trial) and it works well.

Getflix DNS for me, so far so good. Been using them for years.

No issue on my end. Which server did you connect to?

Updating AppleTV 4K 3 to 18.0...

Not even sure what's new.

dont dare update, seen many reporting the update brick their apple tv and cannot do anything

updated. feels like normal

the only thing make me update is i use homekit and i have AppleTV (connected wired lan) and Homepod mini
this 18.0 can select preferred device as HUB previously and all this while it auto select, sometime jump to Homepod mini
having HUB with AppleTV wired connection i think more stable

unifi tv/rtm klik/ bbcplayer

some of the streaming apps not available on Apple TV 4k? was hoping it could replace the unifi plus box totally

Not available. Also add AstroGo to that list. TVB Anywhere also even though TVB Anywhere USA is available for the ATV.

what reason given if you know?
since they are available on the iphone and ipads

I'm afraid not. Just not available, in the case of Astro and Unifi, maybe they just want ppl to use their set top boxes. Prevent account sharing also I guess.
