Got a dispatch notification expecting delivery 29/10.
I'm more happy about the nimbus than the Apple Tv 4, one controller for everything.
Got a tip for us?

I think it must be a bug in the system I have 30th October till the 3rd November.
They wouldn't dispatch this early at all.
I'll keep you posted if I get an early delivery, like the person did with there iPhone 6s haha
I had to cancel my order twice before I settled on the right order (first, had the wrong card, second, had the wrong shipping address) so yeah.
Jelly, definitely keep us posted, see you are in the UK, would be great for US orders to start moving as well I know we are still all on day of pre-order but getting these sooner would be great

I'm never this lucky to get it early but I will keep you posted!
I ultimately ended up deciding to ship it to my work instead of my parents' house and using my debit card because my credit card has been super paranoid lately. Lol. But, I went with the 64GB. I have like 63 movies on iTunes and more is better and safer. My parents are getting the 32GB and I don't want them taking my 64GB lol.
Does AppleCare usually? I thought it was at the discretion of Apple to cover that.
I'm starting to get excited as well..but not looking forward for the slow UPS updates again though.
Ouch! Why not just order an HDMI cable from Amazon? The $5 Amazon Basics HDMI cable is likely just as good (if not better) than the Apple cable.
I was looking at the amazon cables but didn't notice the one you've mentioned. I'll give it a look. Thanks.
edit - just cancelled the $28 apple 6ft hdmi cable and picked up a 3ft amazon basics cable for $12 CAD including shipping. Not bad.

No problem. I use this cable on almost all of my home theater devices and I've never had any problems.

I actually really like the Apple HDMI cables; I've had issues with the cheap ones, and I'd never buy Monster or other overpriced ones, but the Apple ones work well, they're thin, and the price isn't the worst...
Gold plated braided Monster cables - Anything else will cause issues and not give you the pristine crystal clear high definition source signal.

I'll give the amazon cable a try. Worst case I'll secretly swap it with the apple HDMI cable being used for my bedroom apple tv 3 (the apple tv my girlfriend mostly uses) lololol
It does not. And anything covered under regular Applecare would be covered under your credit card. Most extend it out by a year.
iOS devices yes OS X devices no.
A replacement remote is around $75 and it technically runs iOS.
Idk. I've got over six Apple Tv's in the family and Never an issue. Then again those remotes were indestructible but easy to misplace.
The new remote costs more to replace than it costs to buy a new 3rd gen Apple TV.
Just surprised because how many people have had an Apple TV that died outside of a surge and outside of accidental damage. Just thinking what's the point if it doesn't cover accidental.
The extra space is so you can side load emulators using Xcode.
In the future also keep in mind Monoprice. They are a great source of really inexpensive cables. I purchase 24AWG high speed HDMI cables from them (they now call them "Commercial Series Premium"). They have gold connectors with a braided metal sheath, 6 feet for $6.79, and I have never had an issue (unlike a lot of cables I have paid a lot more for).
