What do you tell about Apple TV 4K 2022 + Filmmaker mode color profile on LG Oled? 😅

[@CJH5K]

Bought a 2021 model off Mercari for around 80$ , it came in yesterday. You are right , the Apple TV is so smooth and ZERO LAG compared to the Firestick which I’ve only used until now. I’m only a iMac away from the whole ecosystem but the Macs need bigger screens. 24inch is too small for me. Hoping Apple goes back to 27inch screens and above. The Apple TV definitely is worth the money. Great video Craig and I’m subscribing.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

Thank you, I am glad that you enjoyed the video. That is a great price. Welcome to the Apple TV world. I am glad that you are enjoying it. I am with you on wanting a 27" iMac. I would definitely order one. Thank you for subscribing. I do appreciate you sticking around. Make sure to check out the Apple Tip videos. A great one I learned is asking Siri What did he, she or they say? Then it will hop back 15 seconds, turn on subtitles and play the part over. Then turn off subtitles.

Thx Craig, Good video as normal. I am a big Apple fan. Good quality products and my mum has brought me a 128gb 2022 Apple TV box for Christmas, I am really excited to start using it.

[@carlcameron3524]

I have the 2017 version and the 2022 version. I think Apple did a great job keeping the 2017 version fresh because there’s no difference in user experience. The new version is a little bit snappier. The one thing I did notice was video games on KZbin playing in 4K 60fps playing on the 2017 version would only output at 1440p 60 fps. The new version plays in 4k 60fps no problem.

[@techinrl9869]

The big advantages of the Apple TV are speed, simplicity, and no ads. Anything that’s Tizen or Google-based have tons of ads taking up huge chunks of the screen. As for HDR10+, that’s for Samsung and Panasonic TV’s. They don’t support Dolby Vision, partly because they helped create HDR10+ and they don’t want to pay Dolby for the royalties. Unfortunately most streaming services don’t support HDR10+, but two that do (to some extent but not universally) are Apple TV+ and Amazon Prime Video.

[@AdamsBrew78]

I assume you can download Apple TV movies to the device for offline viewing like you can on Mac or iOS/iPad? If so, I wonder if it’s limited to 1080p like it is on the others. Would love to be able to download 4k

An Ethernet connection doesn't make sense in my area because we don't have any lines for it. Our router is usually in the hallway, which is almost equidistant from the other rooms. The TV is in the living room and many also use multiple TVs in the bedrooms.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

It doesn’t make sense in most places in my house. I encourage people to use Ethernet when you can and makes sense. It helps free up some bandwidth.

[@vincedea]

@craigstechtalk does the Apple TV replace the smart tv apps? Asking cause my current tv is an android tv but is extremely slow and feels clunky.

Have you used it with your local cable tv provider? Like we have comcast/xfinity out here...

[@billligon4005]

Will the Apple TV allow me to get rid of Cox Cable? I still want local TV, NBC, CBS etc>.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

You would need to have a streaming service to replace cable. For example cable companies offer packages, Hulu live, KZbin TV, Sling TV and a few more that over local channels. The Apple TV is the hardware for the streaming software to run on.

[@faengelm]

Hi Craig. Nice review. Is Apple TV "Streaming only" meaning no Live TV or cable/satellite video? I'm looking forward to your comparison against Fire TV Cube .

[@CraigsTechTalk]

Hey Frank, the comparison is coming out this week. The Apple TV would only be able to stream the apps from a cable or satellite provider. There is no way connect an existing cable box light the Fire TV Cube

[@DebraOConnor-mj6dm]

What App do you use for the remote on your phone?

[@rswyltk]

I dumped U-verse TV this week and switched to Direct TV Stream. A couple reasons, price, video quality, not needing a cable box for every TV that I have to pay a rental fee on. I have Apple TVs and Fire TVs, but the Apple TV is going to be my main device now, because of the HSV camera feature. I’ve wanted that for years, I hoped the Fire Cube Gen 3 would make that happen no matter what I was watching with the HDMI input on it, but it doesn’t. I have 4 TVs, 2022 ATV with Ethernet, 2 2021 models, and 1 gen 1 4k model. I do wish that it would share HSV processing between them if needed, maybe one day.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

Let us know how Direct TV Stream goes. I have been on Hulu Live for a few years. Apple HomeKit Secure Video is really cool. The HomeKit camera options go beyond what a lot of people realize. I would like to see cameras be able to use 2k in HSV.

[@rswyltk]

@@CraigsTechTalk I’m happy with it so far, I had the highest package in U-Verse, so I got the highest package on Direct Stream, after looking at it, I think I’m going to drop down to the lowest tier. The only thing I watch above that tier is the movie channels. I get HBO Max from my cellphone plan, my dad has Epix and STARZ streaming, so I have access to those. As far as cameras, I’m using Ring and Wyze, and bringing them into Apple with scrypted, it can make pretty much any camera an HSV camera, take a look on here if you haven’t seen it yet.

[@DuckingAround58]

Still waiting on Ring integration. That’s the only thing it’s missing for me

[@CraigsTechTalk]

Me too. I am glad that I was able to get a hoobs hub to make it work. But native support would be nice.

[@Revell25]

I saw where you have an LG C2 TV. I have the C1 and love it. However, I just use the built in apps to watch TV over Wi-Fi. Will having Apple TV or streaming device be better quality? Because I notice how it does get grainy sometimes or not look as good as it should. Thanks!

[@williamshakespeare3427]

In my opinion, any streaming box like this or Roku or fire stick , etc, is going to last longer then your built in smart features. And it’s more reliable. Overall yes it should be better quality in terms of the product but the picture itself should be the same quality that your tv always had.

[@hardikphotos9813]

I noticed an improvement compared to the fire stick 4k

[@michaelpergine3858]

I bought a Apple TV 4K with 128 gig on November 7 and see you I will never go to a Roku or any streaming device ever because I have an iPhone and it’s so easy to work and the rest of my family uses Roku so I wanted to try the Apple TV thing and I just love the Apple TV 4K

[@beigefox6579]

Same thing with me, never going back to other streaming devices until they can compete. The AirPods Pro actually made me like it more making it the complete experience.

[@vid111]

I have a fire tv cube. My tv just basic HD with 5.1 system. I want a HomeKit hub, do you recommend this or HomePod?

[@CraigsTechTalk]

I have a video coming out this weekend with my comparison between the cube and Apple TV. Out of the HomePod and Apple TV my gut says go Apple TV because you get the hub and a great streaming device. I can see using it more. But if you are happy with your TV setup, the HomePod mini is a great introduction to HomeKit and a nice little speaker.

[@drewksidetour]

So if I get the base model, I won’t be able to connect my google nest door bell camera to the home kit?

[@CraigsTechTalk]

You will not be able to connect your nest doorbell with either model. Google did not make their doorbells HomeKit compatible

[@drewksidetour]

Have you heard of Starling Hub to integrate Nest into HomeKit ? If so what are your thoughts?

[@CraigsTechTalk]

I have heard the starling hub works great. I have never used it, but I believe Paul Hibbert and Automate Your Life did videos on it.

[@davidandhometech]

Another great video Craig, thank you. I too am a happy AppleTV and HomeKit user. Apple is far from perfect (e.g. high prices and then not including a cable!) but I do prefer them when it comes to privacy. It'd be really interesting to get your take on how streaming devices and smart tv apps handle viewing info and selling of data to vendors and advertisers.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

Thank you very much David. I am glad that you enjoyed it. I am with you on that assessment. That is an interesting topic. We do see as an Apple TV user the option to ask apps not to track you through Apple TV. That feels like they are putting up a wall that others aren't. But who knows, what happens on the advertiser end. That would be an interesting topic to see how much you can really find out from these companies.

Thank you very much. I appreciate the suggest for an outdoor cam video. My two favorites are the Ring Stick Up cam. But you need to use a 3rd party tool to work with HomeKit. For native Homekit support, I like the Eufy Cam 2c and 2c Pro. The have local storage, no cloud service needed and work with all the assistants.

I see why this is a compelling option for Apple users in particular (of which I am now one), for me however I cannot justify a streaming device at this price point as I’ve already got a great streaming device in my Sky Q box that also contains my live tv packages & comes with 2tb of storage. I think for people who don’t have that & who don’t already have a HomeKit hub, the Apple TV boxes are a great option though

[@curtispazarjr4985]

[@TheRealMafoo]

Good video. A few comments. 1 is if you have faster than gigabit networking to your house and a wifi 6 router, the ethernet port is of no use, as you would be better served using the faster wifi connection, so if home automation is of no use to you, then the 64gig is fine. I was able to find it at Costco for 125, and they didn't carry the 128gig model, so I just picked it up instead, as both the above cases apply to me. The only other thing I want to say, is you claim this is "Still the BEST!" in the title, and then say you have not tried its biggest competitor, the Shield. So, how do you know it's the best? :)

[@CraigsTechTalk]

Thank you. If you are showing faster Wi-Fi speeds on the Apple TV than it makes sense not to do Ethernet. As for the still the best, it’s a title to a video. It is meant to make people click. It is not clickbait that does deliver on the title. It is the best device I have used out of the 3 big players that count to me, Google, Amazon and Apple. I honestly could not care less about Shield or Roku. They are niche products with no greater ecosystem or devices. I get people like them and usually it’s for something 90% never even think of. Thanks for watching.

I ordered mine last week! Yay! The idiot delivery man didn’t bother to ring the bell or knock and took it to the post office for me to pick up 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ll get there Tuesday. Excited to hook it up and see how wonderful tvOS is. I also ordered a couple of switchbot hubs and bots today. They should tide me over until Matter gives me everything I’ve been hoping for. I should be able to put my Aqara camera in the window then and dodgy up a “video doorbell”. That and my coffee maker fried itself today so I need a new one and will go the turn it on with a bot route this time rather than a cheap machine with a switch that fries itself after a month. Haven’t decided on the coffee maker model yet. I’ve got it down to 2. I know which one I’d prefer but need to check that just pressing start and not selecting things with the dial will work. I’ll call them tomorrow to ask. Might wait to see if they have a Black Friday sale though as it’s a bit exxy. I guess I’ll go back to instant for a week or so. I will check if Decos are drastically reduced for Black Friday but that’s it then for me until at least February. I got 3 months of pay at once this month so I’ve had my little spree but now I need to be careful to not go over budget. I’m used to monthly pay but 3 months will be a challenge!

[@CraigsTechTalk]

I am sorry to hear that the delivery man didn't even try. I am seeing that happen with expensive items that require a signature. I hope you enjoy tvOS. I don't know if you are able to cancel your switchbot order. They will be having some great sales from the 18th through the end of the month. I love that you are finding the right coffee maker for your buttons to work with. It is the smart move since there are not a lot of smart coffee makers. Thanks for checking out the video and sharing what you have going on.

[@moniquem783]

@@CraigsTechTalk they’re lazy buggers aren’t they! So rude. I have to go to a funeral Tuesday so I figure I’ll pick it up on my way home from there and setting it up might cheer me up. I thought about waiting for a sale but I really don’t think that company will have one. It’s just a small business. Switchbot stuff is a bit hard to find here. Amazon has the hub but no bots. This small business has pretty much the whole range. And the hub was $23 cheaper through them than Amazon! If they do have a sale I’ll consider the extra I paid my contribution to supporting a small Aussie business. Penance for all the things I’ve bought from Amazon recently!!! Lol. The coffee maker I want is through a major company though so they might have a sale. They have in previous years. So I can suck it up and make do with instant until I’m sure about that. I might pull out the stove top coffee pot for Tuesday. That’s an early start that’s gonna hurt. Good coffee will help. I had a look to see if there were any Alexa/Google coffee makers that might be perfect if they had Matter, but nothing was suitable. There were a couple, but they were 110V of course so I’d need a step down transformer as well and that’s just getting messy then. There were no Australian ones that would work for me. So a bot it is. I looked around last week and realised that there are only 2 rooms in my house that don’t have anything smart. Not bad for a relative newbie! It was about May when I first started this, so only 6 months! And the item that got me started was a video doorbell, which I still don’t have 😂 I can’t justify the price of the Logitech or Wemo. Maybe with Matter the Eufy will become an option. That will be for the next house.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

That is great you can get them from a local business and better that you are saving. I just hated the idea of you ordering from Amazon today and them being on sale next week. We are definitely in a weird time with the Matter of launch. We could see a lot more options for the home this time next year. That is impressive that you only have 2 rooms left in 6 months. I am impressed that as a newbie you are talking about Matter and factoring that into your decision. Some long time users aren't there yet. A doorbell got me started too. My wife told me about the one her friend had and liked the idea of it for traveling. So technically I guess she started the smart home.

[@moniquem783]

@@CraigsTechTalk the sales are never as big here as what you get anyway. The last one in October, I picked up some Meross plugs for 20% off. Other than that the only items reduced were Eve Bluetooth sensors. And of course Amazon’s own products which I’m refusing to buy lol. I keep a pretty close eye on the prices of a few things as they show as discounted all the time so I’m careful to not get sucked in to buying it during a sale when it’s always on sale. It is a weird time isn’t it. I’ve been looking into HOOBS too but I don’t think I can justify the cost of the box or a raspberry pi when it will be a temporary thing if Matter works as intended. I do have a Windows 10 laptop that I hardly use and could use that for homebridge but I think that’s a bit above my skill level. I don’t know coding and I don’t particularly want to learn. Plus I searched through the plugins and there aren’t any for most Australian products. I think the bots and hubs will tide me over. One hub in the lounge will replace everything the Aqara camera hub is doing, and one in the kitchen for the coffee machine bot. The robot vacuum is packed but another bot will be for that. Then one more for a light switch or something. Moving the Aqara hub to the front window will give me motion alerts, and the doorbell tone it plays should be heard from outside which will solve another problem. Having the Aqara mini switch “doorbell” so close to the hub might reduce the delay a bit too. I’m trying to be careful to only buy things that I know for sure will be useful at my next house, which i hopefully will find soon as I’m starting to get a little anxious. So it’s mostly bulbs and smart plugs, and a couple of IR blaster hubs and 2 HomePod minis. And now the AppleTV. But still no proper doorbell lol. Isn’t that funny that doorbells got you started too! And that your wife is essentially responsible for you having a channel! That’s hilarious. She can’t ever complain that you’re spending too much time on techy stuff because it’s her fault!!!

That would be nice. It really just serves as a HomeKit hub. But the real action is in the Home app on other Apple devices.

[@our_roadtrip]

Not really… there is next to nothing that allows for smart controls. it can’t remember states, it can’t parse a calendar and it can’t set states based on other states. It can’t work on heuristics… It can’t read out the azimuth of the sun…. Location based automations don’t run automatically… Basic stuff is just impossible with HomeKit.

The shield destroys apple tv

[@xeon2k8]

lots of fanboys here from what i see, i have a shield pro, the ai upscaling is amazing on a 4k laser projector. Also the vainilla android and sideloading apps is great, and as well as using a browser which Apple tv cant do. Obviously gaming wise the shield has no competition.

[@pedrosa144]

If they added a USB connector it then be near perfect.

[@leonardodavinci7425]

No usb ports makes it definitely not the best!

[@thisone9]

No way. Roku is the best. I can stream movies I have on my hard drive on my iMac with Roku Media player and Stream to Me. With Apple TV, you have to first import the movies in iTunes, even pron. Fail.

Apple TV boring but android tv is cheaper plus for the money u can do so much more

[@stevenvanpelt486]

Let's be honest: the Apple TV 4K is a wonderful device for digilliterate people with cheap/outdated Smart TV's. It provides a butter smooth interface and everyone with an IQ over 24 can operate it. However, if you value audio quality, you should leave it on a shelve. People who buy external media players are often looking for a better experience than what comes with just about every smart TV for no additional cost. Unfortunately that's not something the Apple TV can provide, as it lacks lossless audio (i.e. TrueHD/DTS-HD MA) support and offers little more than any current high-end Smart TV does. It doesn't even have AV1 HW support which will be the new video format to replace h.265 on about every platform.

It is not the best any Android box or Fire Tv you can side load apps on . Apple TV is limited .

[@matthewelerick648]

Ya and get a virus

[@xeon2k8]

@BHIM Streamio, TeaTV, CinemaHD, Kodi.... maybe get your head out of your apple-fan ass from time to time?

[@aliessa8515]

[@rolis.j]

new apple tv is owerheating like shit,i feel it drops power and reduse processor speed becose of heat,nobody menciot that ?why?

[@CraigsTechTalk]

Maybe no one is talking about it because they aren’t having that problem.

[@garrynorth6269]

Great if your Apple biased but everything you said can be done on fire tv, I've never had a problem doing so on mine.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

Cool if you prefer your fire TV. But not everything can be done on the Fire TV. There are plenty of differences between the two. Let’s not act like they all do the same thing. That is simply not true.
