I downloaded and installed the Apple TV app from the Google Play Store and have been using it for a couple of months. Although it is working fine I have a couple of questions. 1. How do I access all the Apple TV programs currently available? 2. How can I display each episode in a series so...

If Roku connects to the receiver how does the streaming connection from Roku get to the television? Wi Fi or does it pass through the receiver? My connection currently for 4K discs is HDMI from the 4K player to the television and another HDMI from the player to the receiver. I used to have a...

Neil, thank you for your replies. My receiver is a Pioneer VSX-1131. I get dolby atmos when playing my 4K discs but would be happy if I could get 5.1 on Apple TV. Just curious as to what the ARC HDMI port is for on my Sony television if it doesn't work for streaming.

Would a Roku work? Although not sure how the connections would work. HDMI from Roku to tv and then another HDMI from Roku to AV receiver?

It is a Sony XBR 75X900E,

No, I downloaded and installed the Apple TV app from Google Play. My set up is dolby atmos capable which a lot of my 4K discs have.

I have a 4K Smart TV and a AV receiver capable of dolby atmost. On the back of the television I connected a HDMI cable from the HDMI port that indicated ARC to the ARC port on my AV receiver. I then chose AVR input on my television and changed speakers from TV to audio system on my televsion...

This survey was back in the summer and I have yet to see any announcements from Sony about 4K HDR titles because of the survey. I suspect that Lawrence of Arabia was one of the titles most requested so still waiting for that one. If any movie should be released on $K HDR it is Lawrence.

The trailer is laughable and reminded me of Pearl Harbor and Red Tails but no surprise coming from Roland Emmerich. CGI can be a useful tool when used with some restraint but in the hands of someone like Emmerich the scenes look like a video game. At the other end of the spectrum...

I am very surprised that Lawrence of Arabia has not been released on 4K given that The Bridge on the River Kwai 4K has. It is the number one movie I want to see in 4K and Sony hasn't even announced a release date. 2001: A Space Odyssey will also be a definite purchase for me as well but no...

I currently have Paradigm front and rear speakers plus a Paradigm sub woofer. The front speakers are 39 inches high and the rear are 13 inches which I have attached to the wall. I have had them for about 8 years but can't remember the model numbers. My receiver is a Pioneer VSX 1131 which can...

Finally getting around to adding two speakers to make my set up 7.1. I would like to attach two compact speakers on either wall. Can anyone recommend some mid priced compact speakers? Thanks in advance.

I bought a Sony XBR 75X900E 4K HDR television and a Samsung UBD-M9500 4K HDR player in November. So far I only have three 4K HDR discs, Planet Earth II, Dunkirk, and The Bridge on the River Kwai. Planet Earth II looks amazing and is the disc I show to friends wondering what 4K looks like...

Thanks for the replies. I will check out the price of height speakers. Any suggestions? Don't want to spend too much money though as I just bought the 4K television and 4K player. My question about my 5.1 set up and when I choose a 7.1 option on a disc is about whether there are some sounds...

I have the Pioneer VSX 1131 which can process Dolby Atmos. My set up is 5.1. I'm wondering if I lose some sounds when I choose 7.1 or Dolby Atmos from a disc. The other night from The Bridge on the River Kwai 4K disc I compared the sound choosing 5.1 and then 7.1 and latter sounded better to me.
