Slow and jittery gestures can be controlled by putting your screen to 4K SDR and in my point of view the screen looks more brighter and beautiful than HDR. It makes the experience 50% more smoother.

I am having a couple of issues with this new ATV. 1) my remote keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. This did not happen with my ATV HD model that I replaced with this new ATV 4K (2nd gen). 2) Some of these gestures don't work with some apps. For instance the "jog wheel" gesture doesn't seem to work with any other app but the appletv+ app. Also, I use the Spectrum app in lieu of a cable box. Right now the back portion of the d-ring doesn't work as it should. I am guessing that these kinds of issues will be fixed when these apps are updated?

Great Video, My Question is there a way to completely turn off my Samsung TV with the Apple TV remote. NOW, the Apple TV remote only option is to put the Apple TV to Sleep, so it does turn off the Samsung TV for 30 seconds, and then the Samsung TV comes back on requiring me to use the TV remote to power off the TV. Any ideas to get the TV to stay turned off?? Thanks

Will the power button turn on\off a soundbar and TV that aren't connected thru HDMI-CEC? I know it has IR control, but how flexible is this really?? I know the Amazon and Google remotes give you the power to control all devices via IR. I was hoping Apple would do this as well!

Coming from a 10-year-old Apple TV - I needed a new one - obviously... If I were to only need a new remote I figure the $60 price tag would be well worth it. How can a remote control be so great... 1- quickly open a new app with Siri 2 - new trackpad becomes intuitive very fast 3- having a mute button on it is well worth it - not having to dig up the television remote - Same applies for the volume and ability to start and shut down both with one power button. 4- the size is just right in the hand - the flat sides (ala iPhone 12) is gold 5- Rechargeable battery 6- Being able to easily use the controls (most used are the mute, volume & pause buttons) without requiring to pick the remote up is also nice (for me 50% of the time) Lots of smaller remotes are not so well designed in that way! After a few more days I end up using all of the buttons in that way & less so the trackpad part.

you yayada'd at light speed past the pip section. also, new info says that for scrubbing through a video quickly you should swipe back and forth. the circular motion is for fine control once you've reached the section you want and in some apps and situations it will simply rock back and forth a few seconds on each side. oh, and my major annoyance is that i can't get the audio output to 'stick' with my sonos system. you can set it in control center or settings or at the top dropdown, but it won't survive a pause and even just drops out at random and returns to the tv speakers which is supremely annoying. /guy

It’s a really cool remote but it still lacks an input button. I wish Apple would add an input button (could go on the top left of the remote) and then make the power button turn the TV on / off with a quick press and turn the AppleTV off with a long press. Then it’d be the only remote I’d need as I have my AppleTV and video game consoles hooked up. As of right now, I’d need the Siri Remote + the TV remote just for power and input.

If your new siri remote refuses to pair, make sure your TV is updated to 14.6. My TV4K was still on 14.2 despite automatic updates being turned on. I manually updated to 14.6 and finally the new siri remote decided it would actually pair when I held the back and volume-up buttons. To update manually, go into the settings app, then go into “System,” then go into “Update Software,” and update. It will take a while so don’t do it while you “need” the TV.

THE ONE PROBLEM I do have that I cannot seem to figure out is that after speaking about 5 words into a search box while looking for a program, it will display my words spoken but the they all disappear when I release the microphone button and It happens all the time. : ( If anyone knows what I am doing wrong, I would appreciate some intel.

I was perplexed too, but I figured it out. Andrew made a mistake and didn't realize this option isn't standard. When you create a folder, the option to "move to [insert name of folder]" now appears in the dropdown menu for the app. Andrew has a folder named "stores". I figured it out when I saw the image underneath "Method two" (3rd image down)on this instruction page: appletoolbox.com/how-to-work-with-apple-tv-folders-for-an-organized-view/ As you can see there are a bunch of "move to" options in that image. entertainment, cooking, instructions, etc.
