All features that should have been available from the start with the ATV 4. Now, give me my podcasts back. And, address the split-second pause at the end of a Hulu/Netflix video when the pictures shrinks to the corner to reveal the next episode.
Podcasts - The Podcasts app is now available on the fourth-generation Apple TV.
How ? 4K.streaming needs faster WiFi connection like MU-MIMO Wave 2 to reliably stream 4K contents in multi user environment and none of the 4K streamer(Roku,Fire,etc) on market have MU-MIMO wave 2 support built-in. .
I almost bought an TV on the 1st of this month. I was so damn excited until the store said they only got supplies of the 32GB model and not the 64GB one. Still waiting for the 64GB version.
This question is for those who have Apple-TV. When I upgrade tvOS from 9.1 to 9.2; would it wipe out authentication/configuration for APPs installed ? Example is streaming HBO, ABC,CNN, etc Apps which I had to Validate/Activate each App using my cable subscription. Now, updating to upcoming tvOS 9.2 if requires to go through these steps again than not earth shattering task but can be annoying/pain to do for every time there is new update.. Hope, internal or iCloud/iTune remembers such activation so even if I have to wipe it clean than still all good once restored.
Can someone say what the keyboard support includes? Can you use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move around the screen and hit Enter to open an app/folder? Can you start typing at the main screen level and have it take you to that app (so you could start typing Netflix on the keyboard and it would take you directly to that app) or is this only for typing items in a search field?
I would love to see being able to move around the screen with the keyboard, but that may only be me.
This would be expected by anyone with common sense. You'd have to be a complete idiot (or a hater) to not realize Apple would be adding new features regularly.
You'd have to be a total fanboy to find Apple's shitty software releases acceptable. Cutting base features like keyboard support in the ATV4 to get hardware shipped out the door was just asinine, and its apologists like you that encourage that behavior. /smh
There are people out their who may not have Aple-TV or 4K TV but per their odd human nature compel to give useless opinion. If Apple decides to add 4K in Apple TV than along better to add 802.11AC MU-MIMO support. Most people don't get it, besides games, homekit, etc Apple-TV is foremost a streaming device so if you want to stream 4K off internet through your router which also supporting other devices in your house than you better go buy MU-MIMO Wave 2 Router when you expect 4K support in Apple-TV. Otherwise, it will be choppy bad streaming user experience. Adding 4K to Apple-TV is no big deal but pre-mature until all other supporting tech be their to make it worthwhile for users. I have TWC over 50Mbytes internet speed and often run into buffering for HD sports or other contents on my new 4th Apple TV. So, just think about streaming 4K without proper wifi speed in Apple-TV, wave 2 router, high internet speed and last but not least available 4K contents. .
How could Apple possibly add 4K support when they can't provide something as simple (and cheap!) as gigabit Ethernet?
