Apple TV 4 UK Pre-Order Thread

Mine arrived mid-morning. Installed and set up. Remote is better, SIRI flakey with search in particular. Apps search a pain if you don't know exactly what you are looking for. Nowt else to say really.

I'm the same. There is every chance it will show up at your house before the tracking has updated on the DPD site. Are you in Edinburgh or on the boundary?

Im in Fife, just got a delivery time of 1645-1745 and they are normally pretty good on their delivery predictions.

How's the storage looking now people are beginning to download apps?

Are people with the 32gb version happy enough or wishing they'd gone for the 64gb?

Only had a quick play but with the Netflix app being just over 12MB I don't think there's much reason to worry if you're just consuming music & videos. I'll download a couple of games in a bit to see how big they are.

I did have to restart my iPhone to get the Apple TV to pick it up during setup but I think that might just be my phone, needs a reinstall since it also struggles to retain 3G after a few days (thinking the restore from a 4 backup to a 6 messed something up).

Also anyone got any recommendations for a pair of bluetooth headphones that aren't £270? Them Beats are so expensive :(
 
Okay quick update, Rayman is 137MB and Asphalt 8 is 97MB. The former seems to be all in whereas the latter downloads a bundle when first opening and then there was a shorter download <30 secs to start the tutorial track.
 
Anyone who's got theirs set up having any trouble turning their TVs on by cec on the remote?
 
Just picked up a 64, nimbus and remote loop from the Apple Store, will return the online order when it arrives next week.
Thought I'd try the remote loop on my iPhone, and it doesn't stay in place... Is it only me, or you're not supposed to use it with anything other than the remote itself?

no infact it was a bit odd. after initial set up with the iPhone the ATV seemed to know that I use a sony sound system for volume rather than the TV. It also turns off both the TV & the sony sound system when i press and hold the TV on the ATV remote.
all a bit too good really

So good to hear that Apple TV's are arriving. Really annoyed with UK Mail as their site still doesn't show my delivery despite getting an email from Apple at 2am saying dispatched.

If I'd known Apple Stores were stocking them I would have taken the day off and gone to a store. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

Got mine about 10:30, pretty impressed, light years ahead of the past and siri is great, if a little temperamental with certain titles. Love the app store, though I am disappointed you can't search it with Siri (hope it comes soon!).

Overall, fantastic!

Same boat as you. Tracking doesn't even work!

Was thinking the same thing. No idea what level of charge even it had

There's a little battery icon hidden in Settings > Devices > Bluetooth, which I assume is the charge level and will deplete over time. Hopefully at some point they'll make it more accessible, although I would also assume you'll get a prompt on-screen when the battery is really low.

When the old AppleTV 3 remote was dying, it popped on the screen to warn you. I expect the new Apple TV 4 remote would do the same.

Can someone do a quick sales pitch on why I should have Now TV. I can't work out what its unique selling point is.

It's like SkyTv but only £6.99 and with Apple TV you can watch live tv and catch up stuff at 720p HD.

If your happy with Sky etc , no point for you , but for me it's perfect as it has all the channels I watch like Discovery Etc
