You know what's even more convenient than asking "what did he say"? The button on my Roku remote that does the exact same thing with just a push.
I'm happy with my 8GB Apple TV 3 and will not replace it as I see no reason from these reviews to do so but than I'm not a techie and have no idea of what "faster SoC" means.
I'll be waiting until Apple opens up the Siri API and it is integrated into the Plex app. Until then, it'll be no better than my current ATV with PlexConnect.100% will get when the PLEX app is confirmed.
Out of five pages I can't believe I'm the first person to ask what is that sweet TV he is using? I'm guessing it is some sort of projector unless it is some fancy computer graphical trickery?
My current Apple TV mostly collects dust - too many 'apps' that require a cable subscription to see useful content, and mostly because there is no Amazon video. Naturally, Apple doesn't want to support a competitor such as Amazon - but that'll keep me from buying a new model Apple TV as I prefer to use my Tivo OTA or Roku which DO support Amazon (and have global search).
Apple's logic is no doubt that they don't want us buying/renting from Amazon vs the iTunes store... but I left the iTunes store long ago (even with a big credit balance) because the terms are ridiculous compared to Amazon. For the same price, or less, I can rent from Amazon Instant Video for 3 days in most cases vs 24 hours from iTunes. Apple has no competitor to Amazon Prime (free stream and download) video. Apple's organization and search for video content stinks compared to Amazon... and has never been improved that I can tell.
Maybe the new Apple TV will eventually have an Amazon app... and allow in-app purchases (not allowed on IOS - so not holding my breath). If so, I might buy at that time.
The whole point is to get you to use the Apple TV as your primary if not only device. It wouldn't be the opposite of what apple is trying to accomplish if they were to put channel up or down on it so you can switch channels.
I would like to know about the TV seen here at the reviewer's house. What is it!!!

Wow thanks for that insight, I was on the fence but you've sold me /s
please link us to this adapter we all need.
I think in the video it showed where the ATV also showed the text of what was said.You know what's even more convenient than asking "what did he say"? The button on my Roku remote that does the exact same thing with just a push.
The optical out argument is almost as ridiculous as the 4k argument. "all of us" come on. Optical out audio for A/V is so old school. It cant handle what HDMI can. Look at McIntosh to Pioneer Elite to big box brands AV receivers or separates in the past 10 years they all have HDMI.
For those stuck in the past not willing to spend the money to experience the latest in AV sound tech, you can pick up an HDMI splitter that will give you an optical out and be satisfied with 1990s technology.
Currently the remote app doesn't work, an update could come though. The on screen keyboard is complete **** on the new TV. It is 26 characters wide, A-Z alphabetically. Typing anything on it is a giant pain in the ass.
Apple isn't putting Amazon app on ATV 4
Siri is Helpful*
