Lol dude we don't want the apps on the tv. That's why we buy streaming boxes, we like the speed, app design, apps, App Store, AirPlay, photos etc. And when it's time to upgrade we just change the box and not the tv.
Sounds like you don't understand much at all.
This is enraging beyond words if true. Why should it give a **** about my account location? I am just fine using english as both my system-wide language setting as well as Siri and this works just fine with my iPhone.
Completely agree.
At least developer preview disables Siri if you login with Finnish iTunes account. Have to login with US account to get it working.

What?
Why do you buy atv if you don't want apps on your tv? Ain't that the point?
What speed? Speed of the time apple releases new atv?
I've had in my tv Spotify, Netflix Hbo, Photos, streaming from computer, MKV support from usb, etc for years now. I doubt that atv2 will support MKV that happens to be de facto standard of online video
Can you plug usb to it or do you need computer to stream files?I've just spoken to someone in the Apple Store. They said they don't know the exact price yet, but they expect it to be around the £100 mark.
I said: Siri play Be yourself and get:
So, for me Siri keeps picking different names from my contacts for face time.
Doesn't matter which song I ask for.

My accent is also pretty bad. Can't imagine there's worse but I still got this:

I missed your post.
That is extremely annoying for me, I don't want to change my account since I have some movies in my library.
Let's hope they can fix this in a future release of tvOS, I can use Siri in english on my phone so I'd expect to do the same on my Apple TV
Thanks! I don't particularly care if there's not enough native 4k content. I have more than enough of my own content that if the up-scaling works as advertised a $1,400 65 or 70 inch 4k TV that has high contrast and true blacks would be a worthy upgrade.
Have you looked at one in store? I found some TVs had better upscalers worked better than others (As in different brands), and Ive constantly been impressed at even SD content looking nice, and blu-rays look great.
No, I've never seen a proper demo of upscaling in a store. All they ever show is that lame loop where it does the quick wipe between SD/4k.
Have a proper look in store as my perception might be different to yours. I got a variety of media (including FTA TV) demoed as I wasn't quite sure if the 4K path was where I wanted to go.
In my opinion 1080P and even 720p and lower looks better on a 4K screen when properly upscaled, then it does on a 1080p screen.
You don't need 4K it is something that you and everyone who complains about lack of having it, wants. Let's get this straight.
I'm having a similar dilemma. I'm leaning towards the 64gig but I'm not sure what I would fill it with. Another user said app size limit is 200 megs and most apps unless a game won't be near that size. So this leaves me with tons of free space not knowing what can be stored on it.
Apple never came out and said we can use the storage for video, music or pictures like how it was on the first Apple TV. So I'm stuck wondering if we can. I don't want to get the 64 gig and it ends up being only for apps, screen savers and the OS.
I want to know if we can actually store multimedia on it. Does anyone have this confirmation? Or someone who has a dev kit can confirm?

4K content isn't something needed, it is something people want. Which is why I'm going to buy myself the 55" 1080p oled tv from LG. The one that cnet said was the best tv they've ever seen last year and they recommended it over the best 4K tv they've seen this year which is also another oled LG TV, simply because when you sit a distance away you cannot really tell the difference in quality with moving videos and the price is cheaper.
If you plan on sitting really close to a 55" or other big screen tv then sure get your 4K. You'd probably get tired of sitting so close to your tv real quick. It's like sitting all the way up front in the movie theater, the experience isn't best when compared to sitting a little distance away.
LG also sells a 55" 1080p oled tv just so you know and picture quality is almost identical to the 4K counterpart, while being cheaper. It was also rated the best tv cnet has ever seen last year, and they also recommended it over the 4K version this year because it's cheaper and you have to sit really close to the 4K version to notice any difference in quality.
Oh I'm sorry I was lazy. I meant the MacBook Pro.
I hate sitting at a desk in my home office.
This is my dream.
Make sure to keep an eye on Apple Insider's price guide. I picked up the previous year's model (new), for $750 off retail.
Sounds like you're going to have a very Apple year.
Can't wait for the new AppleTV. I really think Apple is correct on the Apps angle and if developers take off with it (which I would think they will) this could be a huge product for them in the long run.
I agree that apps on the Apple TV are a good thing. That said, and perhaps it's simply my lack of imagination, but what kind of apps do you see developers creating that people will want to use on the TV? Games are obvious, but the new Apple TV is a pretty weak console, so I don't think we'll see anything particularly compelling or "must have" in the game arena. Media players are obvious too. Plex, VLC, etc. But beyond that? What do you want do on your TV via apps? I'm curious.
Thank you!!!! Appreciate the tip!
Sure thing! FYI, you can pick up the 2014 15" MacBook Pro (2.5GHz, 16GB, 512GB) for $1799 ($700 discount) or $2009 with Applecare ($830 discount) today.
