    Apple TV+ How to Access Apple TV programs and Episodes

    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...

    Apple TV+ How To Get 5.1 Sound for Apple TV

    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...

    Apple TV+ How To Get 5.1 Sound for Apple TV

    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.

    Apple TV+ How To Get 5.1 Sound for Apple TV

    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?

    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...

    UHD Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Wants Your Votes

    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.

    Midway (2019)

    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...

    Waiting for Lawrence of Arabia and 2001 4K

    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...

    UHD Should I buy 4k disks?

    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...

    Question About 7.1 and Dolby Atmos

    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...

    Question About 7.1 and Dolby Atmos

    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.

    Questions Since Going 4K

    Last month I purchased a the Sony 4K HDR 75X900E television and the Samsung 4K HDR UBD-M9500 player. I kept my Pioneer VSX AV 1131 receiver. I have the Samsung player connected by HDMI 2.2 to my receiver and from the receiver by HDMI 2.2 to my television. What has happened a couple of times is...

    Anyone Seeing This on Bridge on the River Kwai 4K?

    Ok, thanks. Obviously something specific to Kwai and the Samsung player as I haven't seen this on any other 4K or blu-ray disc that I have played.

    Discs Giving 4K/UHD Delivery A Real Shot In The Arm

    Planet Earth II a 4K HDR disk is scheduled to be released at the end of March. That along with the release of movies such as Lawrence of Arabia would be enough for me to buy a 4K HDR television along with a 4K player such as the Oppo UDP 203.

    It would be interesting to compare our collections. I live in Calgary so not that far from Vancouver. For example I have the complete set of original lobby cards and have framed two of them. I also framed the 27 X 40 1989 re-release poster (O'Toole standing on a mound in the desert) although I'm...

    I've always wondered where the shots of Allenby in his motorcar driving past columns of British troops on their way to Damascus were filmed. Also where were the extras from? I am quessing that it was filmed in Spain. I did not find any answers to my questions in the books by Adrian Turner...
