Turn on the tv when the Apple TV turns on? You may need to make sure HDMI-CEC is enabled on both your TV and on your Apple TV. It's sometimes called different things by different tv manufacturers. Maybe this will help: support.apple.com/en-us/HT205225#cec

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. For the Apple TV 4K 32GB- what I like best - in no order 1- Picture & picture 2- Faster 3- Just better overall 4- Able to lock in playback speed in YT (not able to do that on the old A tv - firestick did not permanently lock it in) One thing I will miss for ease of use (as on the Fire Stick remote) is to be able to simply with a 2 button press (1 long - 1 short) "save to watch later" a video while browsing on KZfaq. With Apple, it is way less easy (more miserable - 8 button press) to do.

Say you bought a 4k movie on itunes but the same movie is available on one of your other subscriptions but only in 1080p, since they are all connected through the tv app would it prioritize the 4k version over the 1080p version? Or can you individually chose to play the better version? This is my biggest concern.
@ShaneCreates 3 жыл бұрын
I believe it always prioritizes content purchased through iTunes. But either way, when you find a show or movie you want to watch, you can scroll down and see the different options available to you for playback. (see 11:29 on the video)

@@ShaneCreates Thank you, although I figured this out already as I made the impulse purchase yesterday without waiting for your response lol. Anyway thats not my biggest concern anymore I’m actually dealing with quite a bummer with the way it connects with wireless headphones. It connects to my jabra elite 75t bluetooth earbuds and sound comes through fine except it comes through a second before the picture on the screen. I’ve known for lip syncing issues to be with sound being delayed but not the other way around and I can’t seem to understand why it’s doing that. It comes out perfectly synced through my tv’s speakers so theres no issue with the way it’s transferring the picture through the hdmi. If you somehow know the answer/fix to this I honestly couldn’t tell you how much relief and happiness you will bring me besides that it’s way more than you think.

Great vid Shane! Good points. I’ve been using the Apple TV 4K for a week now. I love it. The only one thing I miss is, with the old Siri remote, you can tap on the edges to go up / down / left / right.
@ShaneCreates 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching! You can click the up/down/left/right dots of the click wheel which pretty much does the same.

Shane i have a video request or maybe you can just tell me in the comments but i want to know if you can show me how to make a timing dimming shortcut. (I know i worded that weird) but example: If i want the lights to turn on at 7pm at 5 percent and then they dim brighter and brighter until they are 100 percent at 8pm? Is there any chance I can do that? Thanks. Love the vids man. Keep it up!!

Hey Devin, thanks for the support! That's not something that's easily done unfortunately. Probably the easiest way is to create a new automation that increases the brightness slightly every 5 or 10 minutes. Not ideal I know, since you'll end up with a LOT of automations just to accomplish this one thing. There is also an app called "wake up light" that I believe does this same thing with your homekit lights, but I have not tried it. So I'm not sure if it's any good. Might be worth checking out. Let me know if you do and if it works for you!

Thank you Shane for this video. I am heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem… And the last Apple TV I had was from generations ago- (so no 4K) I do have a PS5. But honestly I use it to stream more than anything. Gaming is fun. But I go months without it. So I’m about to order Apple TV 4K- and sell the PS5 while it’s still hot. I know the new Apple TV doesn’t come with an HDMI… So what HDMI did you get? Just one from Apple? Or any specific you’d link? Great video!

Thanks Adam! Here's the one I got (affiliate) geni.us/BelkinHDMI It's the same one that is also available on the Apple site as well.

I like the Apple TV also to play family pictures as a slideshow. I set it to shut off in 10 hours so it’s playing pictures all day. I set it to my Favorites folder but you can create other folders on your iPad and then set your screen saver to the other folders depending on who is visiting or which pictures you want to see.

Man, I agree. The OS on the AppleTV is leaps and bounds better than the native smart OS installed on the TVs. Roku is nice and works well but I still favor the AppleTV OS.

Is this faster than roku ultra? I have a roku premier but not fast enough
@ShaneCreates 3 жыл бұрын
faster in regards to responsiveness in the menu, opening apps, etc? Stuff like that? If so, yes, the Apple TV is best in regards to that imo.

I went for the 2017 AppleTV 4K instead - waiting for it arrive! Sure, it doesn't have Thread or the latest features, but the price difference was the decider for me! Can't wait to review it!

I have been following your channel for a few months and I am starting to transform my house using HomeKit. If you had to buy a new TV for your living room but you will use it with Apple TV, what would you notice?
@ShaneCreates 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching Sebastian. It just depends on what you are trying to spend as far the specs of the TV go. For example, 8k, 4k, OLED, QLED, etc? At a minimum, I'd be sure to get 4k HDR and go from there. Support for HomeKit and Airplay 2 would be a bonus, but not necessarily a dealbreaker since you will be using an Apple TV.

What's the difference between Apple TV 4K and the Apple TV App? Is there a difference in bitrates for visual and audio?
@ShaneCreates 3 жыл бұрын
I believe the bitrate for content is determined by the streaming app/service. Here's the video comparing Apple TV, Apple TV+, Apple TV app, etc... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/grimmc540ZmReIU.html
