This is it.
Exactly - a Firestick 4K can be had for £50 from Amazon. Even a £99 Apple TV 4K would be double the price. I think the average person just looks to make sure the streaming apps they want are available and then go with the cheapest option: I mean - Netflix is Netflix, right?
to me that implies that your 'modem' is acting as the layer 3 router and gateway, and your ubiquiti is acting as a network bridge.
I wonder if the new AirTags and Apple TV 4K are stuck in FCC certification. The rumors/leaks seemed to previously suggest that they would follow soon after the M4 releases this year.Well, the October announcements came and went, the Austin Grand Prix came and went and October came and is about to go so… where TF is this thing?
I can’t believe any FCC approvals would be outstanding so close to a product release…
Government shutdown started about a month ago though. It would be interesting to know how far in advance of announcement date previous FCC approvals were given.
Some of the more "medical" watchOS features have received their certifications "day of" release and/or in the window between pre-sale and actual delivery. Maybe not the same process, but certainly noteworthy in this context.
Yeah. It’s been clear for a while when it comes to AppleTV the focus is mass market vs. videophiles/audiophiles. It’s a great product and it wouldn’t take much to make a product superior to everything else out there, but damn it’s like they walk right up to high end territory and there is some imaginary boundary keeping them from stepping into it. I appreciate them jumping in with both feet on Dolby Vision and HDR10+, but then the audio comes and it’s “meh”. Sure, we have Atmos, but it’s no comparison to BD audio. DTS? What’s that?
We all know that Apple is very forward looking (dropping floppy drives, optical drives, firewire etc) and DTS doesn't look like it will have a presence in streaming media in the near future so it is probably no surprise Apple doesn't officially support it. There is a possibility that Apple could unofficially support DTS (lossy) now the patents have expired in the same way Sonos do, but I can't see Apple putting in the effort and to be honest, locally stored media could probably be decoded to multichannel PCM.
Ridiculously late to the table, but it’s out there now. The catalog would need an audio update. The number of movies that have been done in DTS the last 30 years is in enormous.
Mentioned in a different thread, but the theory that Apple might merge the capabilities of the ATV with one of Apple’s smart home devices makes sense to me unfortunately. Whatever it would be, the price would be higher than the current ATV price, of course. We know Apple likes expensive hardware and the ATV has always been an outlier in that regard. This would explain the recent streaming rebranding.
I know right? Ahah
It's been so long now, I've give up wanting a new model and gone elsewhere for now. Maybe a new model will be released next year when the updated Siri arrives. like many home theatre enthusiasts they we just want an ATV that allows passthrough of True HD, DTS, Dolby Digital Plus etc.
I looked at competitors and nothing would really satisfy me. The Nvidia box looks nice but it’s a super outdated piece , and overpriced hardware. It does a lot, but it’s very old already.
