Wtf is YTTV?

I surmised it's YouTube TV.

YouTube TV

 

[Sam Posten]

Gotcha. I had no idea people were actually paying for that. I suspect it will be in Google’s graveyard before years end

 

[TonyD]

You should do a search on what YTTV is.

Doubtful it gets shut down

I just added 4K add on option to our YTTV and found out the Atv4K we got in 2018 doesn’t display full 4K.
Only displays 1440p.

Only devices after 2020 will display 4’k from YTTV so that stinks.
Also found out my just as old Firestick dongle does full 4k.

Is that limitation somehow actually intrinsic to the hardware and can't be addressed via software update?

Is that just YouTube TV or also the regular YouTube app too?

Wonder what the heck YouTube or their TV app is doing for that to be the case... and whether that could also end up happening for some other services/apps...

I’d guess hardware since the current Atv4K does have the full 4K on YouTube Tv

Hard to go wrong betting Google will kill a service. But, almost assuredly not this year for YouTube TV. Alphabet is investing big on it.

YouTube TV is actually the only live TV service that is actually growing its customer base. See here. We dumped Comcast cable TV for this service earlier this year and are saving $70 per month.

I was thinking of upgrading my Apple TV 4K, but now I am not so sure:

This is a scratch and dent from Amazon Warehouse. WTF???

Amazon does not have any new-in-box available from them directly.

They don't have any refurbs either. Suspicious.

@Todd Erwin - I got one about a week ago from Costco (3rd generation) for $125. Not sure if that's an option for you?

I checked Apple's site, and it says I can have a new one delivered tomorrow. $129

Best Buy has them at that price, too, but I have a large Amazon Gift Card balance at the moment (thank you Fetch and Ibotta).

Amazon hasn't had any Apple TV 4K boxes for many months. I have the latest generation being tracked for price via camel camel camel, and it's shown as out of stock for most (if not all) of 2023.

I don't understand what you're saying. Apple's site says I can order one and have it tomorrow. Maybe that's shipping from the store in Boulder, CO.

...oh, you want to buy from Amazon. Doh, I read it twice and saw "Apple" both times.

Looks like Costco has a 3rd gen for $100

Today is the last day for that.

Was literally there yesterday and didn’t even check. Have plenty for me, but would have picked one up for a family member. Excellent box.

The Atv4K the 3rd set up was so simple.
All I had to do was log into the apps. They all pretty much appeared on the Home Screen.

A couple things on this new remote.

Some services when you pause will put a little circle up on the timeline. Then you can “spin” the ring on the remote to get a finer ff and rw option. I don’t see this spin option on Disney+ but it is on Paramount + at least.
Also and it may have been there on the old remote but if you tap the middle of the circle and hold it for a momeant the time switches to tell you the time the movie will be over instead of the time left in the movie.
So if you start a movie at noon and it’s a 90 minute movie, touch and hold the middle of the circle on the remote for a moment and the time will show the movie will be over at 1:30, 90 minutes later.
