I use the ATV4K because the OS and apps GUI are that better. You have access to all the major 4K content app now.
There are numerous travel related content in 4K. So if you want to take a virtual tour of Louvre Museum, see the Wulingyuan Scenic Area (like Avatar) in China's Hunan Province, Hike in remote areas to see its beauty virtually its there online to take advantage of. Tons of virtual walks, hiking, historical locations visited, and cites to see

Surely HomePods are being held back to finally allow them to Just Work™ with Apple TV?
Haven't checked audio sync but it has fixed a major fault with 14.0.1 - the volume control on the Remote stopped working for several apps when audio output was set to (stereo) Homepods. I had to ask Siri to turn the volume up/down. Now it is back for Channels.app (used to stream live TV via HD Homerun), SBS.app and iView.app. Phew!
I hope it is a permanent fix and not just a temporary one after a restart.
Can Apple be less sloppy with its code so as to make OS updates faster to install? The length of time an update takes is totally ridiculous.
Same.
Maybe...tomorrow? Also a new iPhone update?? (STILL on 13.7, not trusting 14 yet)
Please.
Because 1080p YouTube is extremely low bitrate already and looks like garbage. If it was 1080p with the bitrate of 4K it would be good enough, but YouTube's definition of 1080p is pretty terrible.
Apple implemented the VP9 codec into tvOS. Likely both sides are working out issues. And Youtube is slowly rolling it out.
Grrr! Volume control has gone again. It seems to be occurring after giving Homepod control to Siri then going back to to Apple TV.
I stand corrected, o probably sa acausational connection where ther was none. Ibaste ny conclusion on a questunable dataset ( a few scattered comments on forums). that seemed to indicate that people with tvos 14.2 got the rollout quicker, what i forgot was selection bias in this case people on macroumers ar more lihtly to run betas than the general populous so ofc there is a greater lightlyhood that a person on macroumers with tvos 14.2 beta will be included in the rollout. Thank you for taking the time to correct me.
For all the people asking about why youTube 4K is important:
YouTube has a certain max bandwidth for 1080 and the videos look okay, but nowhere near bluRay quality because it's just compressed a lot.
4K videos are compressed to a similar ratio but there's just more data there, both for picture and sound. Even on my 1080p TV, the 4K stream looks way better than the 1080 version. I have the (non-smart) TV hooked up to a 2011 Mac Mini and am actually amazed that it handles 4K youTube through Safari.

There’s a nasty bug somewhere between iOS 14.0.1 and tvOS 14.0.1 that means people with HomeKit automations chew through huge amounts of data when away from the house/WiFi. My phone used 8 GIG of data in the last two days, and the culprit is the HomeKit system service.
Apparently Apple are working on a fix.
