I'm an Android & Windows guy, but damn the Apple TV 4K is so far ahead of other media players out there when it comes to just how polished everything is. It's the only Apple product I'll ever need.

[@paullkaplan4140]

Oh really try a nvidia shield totally open to sideloading lots of apps not available to apple users .And how about AI upscaling beats apple tv hands down.

[@GoogleEyes]

@@paullkaplan4140 how can you upscale a true high Bitrate/HDR/Dolby Vision as in 131 Mbps film. You can't upscale it. I mean yes on my Sony Tv has real-time upscaling for 720-1080p To 4K... & yes even many years ago with people using the nvidia shield & their servers couldn't play raw files I sent to them....& using (Infuse )apple app is the best media player on the market

[@aprihar216]

Being able to do FaceTime and Zoom calls on Apple TV with your iPhone as a continuity camera is also a pretty neat feature! (I use one of my MagSafe chargers to hold the iPhone in position in front of the TV.)

[@zachbrands]

Apple TV with two HomePods = the best entertainment experience hands down!

[@mikemacb7rs4]

My TCL QM8 TV has slowed down too much. When I first got the TV I used the built in OS, now it's unusable. I force stop background apps and restart the TV. Still doesn't help. I'm back to my Apple TV 4K

[@craigdaly5111]

LOVE the idea of what did they just say! Had no clue about that

[@JameeSkidmore]

You talked all about pip and yet you didn’t even mention how to actually use it

[@TimLoyalToWifeHaterFreeZoneA]

Love It Mike O'Brien Bro.

[@iankastelic5146]

Really cool! Great job. I’ll subscribe!

[@tonyo.4226]

AHAHAHAHAHA. Trailer Park Boys!!! Love it.

[@aziz-ur-rehmansayyed8856]

sir, we would like to hear about sony pulse elite also as a daily driver and how it stands against premium headphones

[@Arroyoruiz]

The best thing I love about Apple Tv is love is the bluetooth transmitter. Because I like connecting bluetooth speakers to it. I like HomePods but prefer bigger bluetooth speakers that have mic 🎤 input. Because for example you can stream either karaoke youtube videos or apple music songs that you can remove the lyrics to your speaker and connected to any tv or monitor, and now you have the perfect karaoke machine. Ive taken my apple tv to parties connected to the big bluetooth speaker and portable monitor. And was a hit all night long as a karaoke party. Friends and relatives call refer the apple tv the apple karaoke box. Some of them Even decided to buy one just because of that. And another feature I like is after you pair a bt speaker to it, you just turn on your speaker and plays music off of the apple tv without it turning on the tv or apple tv box itself. As a source for music streamer. Use your controller to tell siri what song or playlist you want…. Etc

6:21 I just use my iPhone to type passwords automatically using keychain

[@TrumanJPray]

Ty is just ordered my first apple tv im super excited i had no idea it could do this been using roku for years. Figured since I have an iPhone and an iPad I might as well get this. I’m excited, especially after watching this video. Thank you.

[@jsytac]

How do you launch Picture in Picture???

[@ximer21]

thats exactly what i was going to ask

[@usmanabdulkadir3334]

Great tips and tricks as always bro

[@MikeOBrienMedia]

Thank you!

[@brandon2755]

the recent apps thing is great because if you have an app thats just giving you issues, you can also swipe up to force close it.

[@chuymorales652]

Have you made a review of the Google chrome cast

[@Peterstarzynskitech]

The dialogue thing is very useful.

[@CaptainSplatch]

I have a question. On my Apple TV. They did away with the movie app and now it’s under the tv app. I have a ton of purchased movies. How do i see the movie info without starting the movie then scrolling over to an info button etc. like a quick view of the info as I’m scrolling through my library. Also where the heck did the wish list go. I used it to add movies to that i want to buy and monitor the prices. Any help id appreciate

[@craigdaly5111]

14 >> me saying Siri got to series 1 episode 6 >> 3 Siri’s reply 😂

[@Jake42315]

I thought this was the younger Nathan Drake at first.

[@amolbhoi386]

which budget t.v can we use with apple t.v 4k.

[@aduncaroo]

Which one can you not?

[@Ali444Mac]

How does IPTV streaming work on this device ?

[@GarrusVakarian88]

Great content. Would love to see more of this but for Nvidia shield and Google TV 🤞

[@JohnKaess]

#18 - picture in picture. You go on and on about how great it is without ever telling us how to have the apple tv actually do it.

[@dreamr616]

Yeah he totally missed showing us how to do that! 🤦‍♂️

[@deibyquezada1788]

He probably didn’t go into much details because (and he also didn’t mention) not all apps supports it on the AppleTV. Again, PiP is great on the Apple TV, as long as the App supports it.

[@leekent414]

He did tell us how to do the PiP. The second screen will be cast from your iPhone or whatever.

[@jasontodd03]

Some of the features are cool that you’re speaking of, but you’re not taking the time to actually show people how to go in and use these features

[@JohnKaess]

@@jasontodd03 exactly.

[@jonerikrolf2029]

It seems that your goal in this presentation is to promote your knowledge of a list of Apple TV features rather than showing how to access and use them. The result is a demonstration of “The presenter knows these things but the observer probably doesn’t and must ‘Go fish’”. …Next time I suggest you try an educational tutorial approach.

[@TheOneTrueGolden]

7:22 This is great I can connect my AirPods or speaker to my TV, we lost our remote and the sound is stuck at a low point so now I can just use my AirPods or speaker thanks

[@w.jackson1171]

You can use the remote app on your iPhone, if you have one.

[@gutwallst6645]

How many of y'all have Kodi installed on your Apple TV?? and how's the experience?

[@guytje1717]

It’s strange that there is no slow motion capability

[@johndoe3485]

Only one question i need to know the answer to, in order to know if i will buy it or not. I just need to know, can siri open up a specific Netflix show or movie when Netflix is closed or open? For example , if i turn on my tv, and i say "hey siri, open Dubai Bling" will it open it or no? And will Siri open any episode or show if you ask for it? And the main reason is because i have elderly parent, and the Roku for example can only open apps and turn tv off or on with voice. But if apple does the same as Roku, then i wont buy. But if apple is smart enough and better tech to open specific shows or movies or espides by voice when you dont even have app open, then thats game changer and i will buy APPLE Tv today if thats possible.

[@None17555]

That intro is exactly right. People pay $200 for this gadget then use it such that they should have bought a $20 streaming stick.

[@MikeOBrienMedia]

It always blows my mind

[@user-cq6fk5go3s]

It’s not all about the “features” versus a 20 dollar stick. It’s power alone worth the price. Ie it plays higher bitrate video without hick ups. It loads video from say Plex instantly. This is especially noticeable on high bitrate 4 HDR ect. Just my opinion.

[@Jake42315]

There aren’t adds on Apple TV. #1 reason for me to use it much cleaner and perfect for minimalists.

[@francobussche3935]

Apple TV doesnt cost 200 dollars…not even close

[@scotttild]

It baffles me that you can’t set it to always play movies from the start. It is so simple to add.

[@balusakthi9]

I am first …

[@MikeOBrienMedia]

Thanks for watching

[@craigdaly5111]

I’m really surprised Apple hasn’t made an actual physical tv yet.

[@galimirnund6543]

I have a TCL Roku TV and a Samsung TV..both are horrible devices. Does the apple TV require you to make an account? Does it shove ads up your wahoo on the home screen? Watching TV sucks anymore. Even after you buy the TV they still shove ads in your face. Does the apple TV remote have proprietary buttons for streaming services I WILL NEVER use on it? Thanks for the vid!! I miss the old days of tv... go buy a TV, bring it home... unbox it... watch TV..not unbox it, make an account, agree to asinine terms and service blah blah blah... dam the multi-media world is going to s**t..lol

[@TheGameFreak91]

Went from an s22 ultra to s24 ultra. Feel so much better. Especially for us in europe

[@dipuislam]

It didn’t turn on cc on upu video here on KZbin. Where you released the video 😂dislike
