    Apple unveils next-gen Apple TV 4K with Dolby Vision and high frame rates

    Seems like it's probably not only the ATV4K (Gen 1) having this/some issue w/ Prime's TNF live stream broadcasts... https://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/amazon-prime-video-thursday-night-football-streaming-issues-week-3/ I don't normally follow NFL anymore or I'd check it out myself (on...

    Apple unveils next-gen Apple TV 4K with Dolby Vision and high frame rates

    It's w/ his older Gen 1 ATV4K, not newer Gen 2. Plus Prime's bitrates seem pretty lame and substantially lower than all the better services/platforms like iTunes, Disney+, MoviesAnywhere, probably also Vudu (at least for the HD streams, if not also 4K), etc anyway. Also, Prime seems to have no...

    Apple unveils next-gen Apple TV 4K with Dolby Vision and high frame rates

    I broke down towards the end of the 1st time this price drop happened... thinking it was such a great deal that might not happen again for a long time, if ever, plus I had some Best Buy promo GCs from buying Apple/iTunes GCs I wasn't too likely to use anytime soon... but of course, we're finding...

    Apple unveils next-gen Apple TV 4K with Dolby Vision and high frame rates

    It's kinda odd, but seems like Apple must've made some exception for the ATV4K to frequently/regularly be priced this low at one or more of the big box chains (or Amazon in this case) ever since it dropped this low for Prime Day a couple months back. Seems very uncharacteristic of Apple... at...

    Apple unveils next-gen Apple TV 4K with Dolby Vision and high frame rates

    Hmmm... think I had something like that happen recently while watching (the beginning of) an episode of Westworld S4. It happened on a 2nd or 3rd(?) middle episode I was watching in a row that night and stopping/pausing and restarting, etc didn't help... until I completely exited the app/site...

    Apple unveils next-gen Apple TV 4K with Dolby Vision and high frame rates

    Wonder what happens on your 4K TV setup if you switch/force that ATV4K to output 1080p SDR. Would it yield this same bad result? _Man_

    Apple unveils next-gen Apple TV 4K with Dolby Vision and high frame rates

    FWIW, I just started watching The Sandman in HD as well, but just on my PC so far (and haven't tried my ATV4K w/ PJ yet) and did not see any (significantly) worse encoding/compression artifacts than usual for NetFlix (though my FOV for this was admittedly smaller than my usual) -- I'm only doing...

    Apple unveils next-gen Apple TV 4K with Dolby Vision and high frame rates

    Another option is get it from B&H and save the equiv of sales tax IF you actually already have their Payboo credit card (or would be interested in applying)... That might save you ~$10 on the ATV4K I guess (and more if you like shopping w/ them for other stuff)... I actually bought mine (64GB)...

    Apple unveils next-gen Apple TV 4K with Dolby Vision and high frame rates

    Is the new ATV4K actually ever on (meaningful) sale to wait? I don't recall seeing any (other than maybe $10 off or similar). I did see the 1st gen ATV4K on some better sales, but still nothing quite that special nor quite that often... You might be better off looking for occasional deals on...

    Apple unveils next-gen Apple TV 4K with Dolby Vision and high frame rates

    Video upgrade? IF you already have the 1st gen ATV4K, there should be no upgrade at all video-wise AFAIK.... _Man_

    Apple unveils next-gen Apple TV 4K with Dolby Vision and high frame rates

    IF you suspect the HDMI cable, maybe you should swap them to see if that fixes it before actually buying new ones... _Man_

    Guess I should check that out when my new ATV4K arrives... :lol: _Man_

    Apple unveils next-gen Apple TV 4K with Dolby Vision and high frame rates

    Ummm... this thread is primarily about the (new) AppleTV 4K streaming device (being released very shortly), not the AppleTV+ subscription service -- most of us would agree w/ you that there's not much interesting about the latter (the service). Maybe you're confused by the previous poster's...
