Just bought a couple of used Apple TV 3rd gen's for the bedrooms and sent back the cable boxes that were costing me $10ea per month.
However i noticed that watching the boxing on both Showtime and HBO, the frame rate is only 30fps, instead of 60fps.
So i fired up my PS3, and noticed that HBO Go was only 30fps whilst watching the boxing.
While watching the cable box it was most definitely 60fps. No judder whatsover and very smooth.
I could go-ahead and upgrade to a 4th Gen, if i knew it was going to fix the problem, and its just not the app that's limited.
I knocked the resolution down in settings to 720p to see if i could get 60fps but it didn't. So put it back to 1080p.
30fps vs 60fps is only noticable on certain broadcasts. Films it wouldn't be as they're shot in 24fps.. But for all sports 60fps is a must for me.
Anyone else noticed this ? will a 4th gen fix the problem for me, or do i need to hit Comcast (spit) back up for one of their boxes again.
