You can add it to the shield as well. You can also siedeload an Apple TV skin. You can even change the sounds to mimic the Apple TV. Which is to say, you can make a much better device, the shield, to act like a ATV if you like it that much.

@Justin Marshall I understand your curiosity, but just because you may like the UI, doesn’t mean you like the device better. It’s about having freedom. The shield gives you freedom from ApPle TV’s locked down os. The point is that you can the best if both worlds…you can have the screaming fast shield pro, with all the freedoms that the platform affords you, as well as having the UI Of the ATV if that is that you prefer.

Been with AppleTV since the gen 1. I currently have the first gen 4K edition. I got it for the atmos since I didn’t have a 4K tv. It worked very well with a few quirks but when I upgraded to a 4K tv with Dolby vision it was a game changer. The AppleTV practically set itself up now behaves as if it’s the tv’s OS. The best part was not having to re-enter all my log-in credentials when I changed TVs

Guys- I am really new to the video stuff and have a basic question on the streaming devices. What do you consider as a high-end streaming device? Is it the price and the no of avaiable streaming apps? All these boxes are so small that there is hardly any real estate to add quality power supply, video/audio processing chips, noise separation etc etc in those units. Hence the question.

The Apple TV 4k + 2 HomePods setup does not have Atmos on Amazon Prime and Disney+. Atmos only appears on Apple TV app, Netflix and HBO Max. Not sure about Hulu, Paramount+ and others. For Atmos to work on Prime and Disney+, you need an Atmos soundbar and connect it to the Apple TV 4k.

I own the shield pro 2019 and I turned it off after 10 minutes. To me, it just added a lot of noise to the picture. This was really noticeable when watching something where one of the actors was wearing a checkers tie and it looked like someone had turned up sharpness up all the way, which shouldn't even exist as a display settings. All it does is add noise to try and fill in the gaps for more detail. This was fine. 25 years ago on CRT 480i displays because of the picture quality. With today's 1080p/UHD digital signals, this is no longer needed. I tried turning it on after a few updates but I was completely underwhelmed. That and how Nvidia hosed up the latest Android update made me realize Nvidia just doesn't care. I mean, they claimed the CPU was faster than the 2017 model and it was the exact same chip. L. This was confirmed by many sources. Now, the Nvidia has it's place. I also own the ATV4K 2nd gen and it's quick and snappy. The fact that it won't bitstream audio is my only issue with it. It converts all audio to LPCM. You can make it "fall back" and it will bitstream Dolby Digital, but that's it. People say it's the same as MAT Atmos bit I can tell the difference in sound quality between it and my shield. Sideloading apps is also a huge plus but you will need a keyboard/mouse for apps strictly made for phones. Some work with the remote while others don't. The shield was my go to for UHD/HDR/DV content and I used the ATV4K mainly for 1080p and below content. Both are snappy as far as response time but I had issues with high bitrate local files like ISO files that I purchased and ripped over the years. I recently bought a media player that blows both the shield and ATV4K out of the water. It's the Dune Dune HD Pro Vision 4K Solo, the cheaper. The model is the same as the shield. It plays back ISO files with full Blu ray menus, or you can jump directly into the movie. It also supports Dolby Vision profile 7 (MEL and FEL). DV can get confusing but there are different profiles. Profile 4 and 5 are what you find on streaming services like Netflix. Profile 7 is what they use for UHD disks so those DV ISO files play in Dolby Vision. I could play Kodi on the shield but it would just be HDR and not DV because neither the shield or ATV4K support profile 7 or 8, only 4 and 5. It's also the best upscaled I have seen, it used the VS10 engine so it can output any format regardless of the source and remap the color tones so the colors are core5. The ATV4K does this, but nothing close to how good the picture is on the Dune. It's a hybrid Linux/android OS but that's it's one downside. It's not a good box for streaming services. Outside being able to get 4K 60gps HDR 444 on KZbin, other services are either limited to 4K no HDR or 1080p. Apparently Google and streaming providers are very picky about who gets the full Android TV OS, that or the content providers block it. That's why all those cheap Android boxes out there are limited. Seems anti competitive but it's Google. All I know is I did a lot of research and it isn't licensing. The Dune plays back both the h.. 264 and 265 400Mbps jelly fish files flawlessly. Neither the shield or the ATV4K are capable of this and the Dune has a way weaker processor than both. If you have a lot of local content the Dune can't be beat and is in the same price range. It also has an HDMI input so I run my nuc to it, very handy. It's limited to 1080p no. HDR though but you can record stuff also. I hooked my shield up to it and the menus came up fine, but when trying to play something on Netflix it would error out due to HDCP. Right now, Dune is number 1 for local media, the shield and the ATV4K are so close. Each has a strength and a weakness. The inability for the ATV4K to allow bitstreaming of audio like Dolby Atmos is the ATV4Ks weakness, that and app limitation. The shield does bitstreaming and high bitrate content better but now that I got the Dune, I have to think about which to use if I want to watch Netflix/Hulu/prime video.

I owned both and for local media playback nothing comes close to the Dune HD Vision Pro. Below is a copy and paste but it supports HDR10+ , Dolby Vision profiles 4, 5 7 (FEL and MEL) and 8. Both the shield and ATV4K support 4 and 5. 7 is what they use on UHD disks so even though Kodi can playback ISO files it falls back to HDR10. Bohemian rhapsody was amazing also And was my first true HDR10+ experience as neither the shield or ATV4K can.

I bought a 2021 Sony a few months ago so I can only speak for that. In the settings (For any TV brand), there is a reset to default/factory settings. After the TV restarts, it will ask you if you want to enable Google or put the TV into "Dumb" mode. After you select "Dumb" mode, connect your AppleTV. The remote is smart enough to control your TV. Pressing any button on your AppleTV remote will start up the TV and put you directly into the OS menu. Your settings will have to be adjusted to your liking via the AppleTV settings which are not the same as the stock TV settings.

Hi, we have been using the first gen 4K Apple TV for a few years now. If you’re comparing, the best sound is generally from the Apple apps. iTunes movies or the Apple TV + app. Foundation for example is amazing for both super low compression video and audio. The best we have seen in testing. Our settings have the Apple TV decoding Dolby Atmos on device, then is sent to a Onkyo receiver. So check your audio type in the settings. Also, what device is it being sent to? If your TV is decoding Dolby audio and sending it to the audio device, that could be your issue. Regardless, you’ll have to do some testing.

It should work if the projector has a HDMI input, however it's not recommended, since these devices are designed for television sets, while a projector is a type of monitor that may or may not have the correct settings for the output from a projector. Basically, because these devices use a low voltage out, it might not power the HDMI input of some projectors, leaving a low signal input that can lead to a blank screen

I wanted one for a couple years, but could never totally justify the price as we had cable and a Chromecast was sufficient for any casting needs. Last year we finally dropped cable for full streaming and while the Chromecast/Google TV was nice, it didn’t have enough ram to hang onto stuff when switching between apps. So Apple finally revamped the infamous remote, so I figured it was time to give it a go. It’s been a great device thus far.

This totally hits home. Just a few weeks ago I was coming to the conclusion that I should get an Apple TV. I am not a fan of Apple at all, I have intentionally never owned an Apple device, even though I do deal with them for work. The more I try to find the best streaming device the more I come back to the Apple TV, for a lot of the same reasons in your video. I think the clincher is that Amazon Music only supports Apple TV for their Atmos music outside their little Studio speaker, which is a complete joke for Atmos.

The Apple TV has one flaw that keeps me from loving it, and has had this flaw since at least the 2nd gen: the audio output level is ridiculously low. Set a normal listening volume level on your AVR with the Apple TV them switch inputs to any other device/antenna. Notice how LOUD those inputs are, compared to the Apple TV. It's not a complete deal breaker, but it's very frustrating. I can't say for certain but even the surround channels seem extra low.

I own both the Shield TV pro and the Apple TV 4K 2nd gen, since I purchased the Apple TV in December the Shield has been relegated to just powering my Plex media server, all my streaming is done using the Apple TV, as you pointed out the UI is just way nicer and polished than any other Android or Roku based streamer and the level of integration with the rest of my Apple products is unmatched, as an aside I would like to argue that the A12 is significantly more powerful than the Tegra X1 on the Shield TV(which trades blows with the A9/A9X series) although in terms of UI speed both devices are at the top of their game for their respective platforms.

I made the switch a few years ago, from shield to Apple TV 4k, i had bought a new TV with HDR, and at the time the shield could no automatically switch between SDR and HDR content. So SDR content looked jacked in HDR mode, and the only solution was manual switching. This was totally unacceptable, don't know if they ever fixed it. Apple TV 4k's "Match range and framerate" fix this problem entirely. I was concerned about losing the ability to stream local content from a NAS when I switched to apple TV, but it was not a problem, actually I found the apps for apple TV to be superior for this as well (Infuse Pro)..

Dear Digital Trends Team, good video and on most of the AppleTV issues you mention, I can only agree. However, you seem to have overlooked a serious problem with the current Apple TV software. Since DigitalTrends is certainly an important resource for many home theater users and streaming fans, I hope you will please take the extra time to address the following issue. Especially because of your massive reach, it would be really helpful if you would address the issue. Please take a closer look at this AppleTV support forum and search for Atmos stutter / cutting / dropouts etc. For quite some time now, there have been massive problems with the AppleTV and Dolby Atmos playback. I'm talking about significant sound dropouts, a kind of stuttering during the playback of Atmos audio tracks. All apps run by the AppleTV are affected. Netflix, Prime, even AppleTV+ itself. It seems to be clear by now that the problems are related to the fact that the AppleTV does not offer a pure bitstream output via HDMI. Rather, the audio format is already converted (like all other multichannel audio tracks) by AppleTV into multichannel PCM. Apple seems to use Dolby MAT to add additional system sounds to the stream (Siri etc). This is probably where the problem arises, which makes error-free Dolby Atmos playback impossible. The problem is not due to "weak" HDMI cables or software problems of AV receivers. It is clearly and understandably an Apple OS software problem. Unfortunately, Apple ignores the many users of their hardware and has not responded to this issue for months/years. It would be perfect if Apple would at least confirm the problem and give the user the choice to output multichannel audio via bitstream or as multichannel stereo. Or simply to finally eliminate this bug. I hope you can help us, also because of your reach and awareness and this long existing problem, in the context of this video, give a little more publicity. Because we really need help in dealing with Apple and their support for the AppleTV. Thank you very much...

I love the Apple TV. It's the only Apple device remaining in my tech inventory. I buy movies in 4k on Vudu so with it linking to Movies Anywhere, they can be watched in either iTunes or Vudu on the device (or still yet on my Samsung phone with Vudu). It is fast, easy to use and never slows or ages with time. I'm sure a lot of people are turned off by the assumption that it's only valuable if you buy into the entire Apple ecosystem, which isn't true. Honestly, I think the only people who wouldn't like it are the people who haven't tried it. It's expensive for sure, but in my opinion it is worth the money to actually having a streaming device that just does what you expect; that's the true selling point.

Infuse Pro (availible in TV OS APP Store) is an excellent solution for people in the apple camp. It's quite capable of streaming local content from a NAS, or PC, in many many formats. It's interface is very slick, and easy to use, with alot of auto-propagation features, sub-title support, etc. There are good solutions in the apple ecosystem for what you are doing. I used to be a shield owner for the same reasons, and was pleasantly surprised by Infuse Pro's capabilities. It's not free, 99 cents a month... but it works better, with fewer bugs, and a slicker interface then any "Free" option I found on shield. Point it to a NAS folder and it will automatically add all content, thumbnails, movie synopsis, details, sub-titles, and organize it however you wish. Unlike shield options, there's not much setup, and "it just works". I guess you could argue ther is no sneakernet capability on ATV, aka walking a thumbdrive from your PC and plugging it into an ATV for local content, but that's a pretty crap way of doing local playback anyways, i've long added NAS to my home.

The other devices, especially the firesticks, are full of ads feel intrusive. From a compatibility standpoint, the shield is still the best due to its different audio codecs. Also, when is samsung going to go on board with dolby vision? The only streamer that I have found to support HDR+ is the firestick. Overall, I think apple TV is by far the best streamer and has an awesome remote control when u get used to it. Thanks for the video. The A12 destroys the competition hands down.

You mentioned Apple Air Pods does that also mean Bluetooth ear buds? Also if I am listening through air pods can the tv volume still be on for my wife to listen to?
