    Apple TV Future of Apple TV + HomePod

    Apple TV Future of Apple TV + HomePod


    Future of Apple TV + HomePod

    Posted: 13 Nov 2021 06:12 PM PST

    Is anyone else hoping that Apple expands more on this "Home Theatre" function is has with its Apple TV's and HomePods? I have a pair of HomePod Minis attached to my Apple TV in Home Theatre Mode, and it just makes me wish that apple had a suite of home theatre audio products. With all of their Apple TV+ content supporting Dolby Atmos, it would be awesome to have a subwoofer and surround speakers that connect to the Apple TV, just like HomePods.

    Anyone having issues with YouTube? When I swipe down to see the channel info it’s all blank and I have to swipe up and down before it loads. It’s been this way since the June update for the app.

    Is 4K SDR still the best setting for an LG C1?

    Posted: 13 Nov 2021 06:37 PM PST

    Basically the title. Just picked up and LG C1 with Apple TV and have been loving it so far. Been doing a lot of research and it seems like 4K SDR is the best setting. Is this still true?

    Also, what picture mode would you recommend for the C1? Been using Cinema Home + Apple TV's color balance, but not sure if there's anything better

    Why does the actor Andrew Lincoln's name show up in Russian in the credits on my Apple TV.

    Posted: 14 Nov 2021 12:50 AM PST

    His name shows as: "Эндрю Линкольн", on the movie rental page for Penguin Bloom.

    I've seen behaviour like this elsewhere too.

    TV keeps defaulting to Apple TV HDMI port

    Posted: 14 Nov 2021 12:16 AM PST

    Every time I activate my Game Time scene (TV + PS5 which is on HDMI 1), my TV (or the Apple TV?) defaults back to the Apple TV itself (HDMI 3). No matter what I do, the Apple TV HDMI port takes over, virtually nullifying the purpose of my Game Time scene. How can I fix this? For reference, the control receiver option under the Apple TV settings is off, but it doesn't seem to be the fix. Thanks for reading and your help.

    Bad stereo downmix in Apple TV app?

    Posted: 13 Nov 2021 11:00 PM PST

    Hi!

    I have my Apple TV directly connected via HDMI to my Stereo AVR (Denon DRA-800H). Audio is perfectly ok except in the Apple TV app where it's sometimes too low, sometimes too high making it necessary to adjust volume constantly. To me it seems like the stereo downmix somehow fails and eg the center channel isn't properly mapped to the left and right channel, but I might be mistaken. Already tried all the obvious settings (Audio Format to Stereo and Reduce Loud Noises) without any improvement. Signal is sent as PCM to the receiver

    Do you have any ideas?

    TCL 55R546 Wn’t Turn Off with Apple TV Remote

    Posted: 13 Nov 2021 11:06 PM PST

    Hello, I recently purchased a TCL 55R546 and after getting it set up connected my Apple TV. Everything is working besides being able to turn the TV off by clicking on the Sleep All Devices button; the Apple TV turns off but the TCL remains on and I get a splash screen telling me that there is no input detected. Turning the TV on works, volume works etc but I can't seem to figure out why turning it off will not. I have tried different HDMI ports on the TV and am using a known good cable; CEC is enabled on both devices and I am on the latest update on both as well. Would anyone have any suggestions?

    Appletv remote issues

    Posted: 13 Nov 2021 09:27 PM PST

    First off my kids lost the Apple TV remote a year ago so I've been making due with using my iPhone. After the update last week the Apple TV doesn't stay connected to the app on the phone. When I click to connect to the appletv it has connecting issues 90% of the time. Both phone and Apple TV are on the latest updates any ideas?

    Apple TV 4K green glitch on OS and YouTube Only

    Posted: 13 Nov 2021 12:17 PM PST

    Hey all;

    Setting up my first apartment, here's my setup to break it down:

    A Sony X85J 50" TV, which supports Dolby Vision and Atmos.

    A 4K Blu Ray Player that supports Dolby Vision and Atmos.

    A LG SN7R Costco exclusive 5.1.2 Atmos soundbar, being fed through a SHARC for eARC support for the above two items. (And I did notice this issue once or twice before I hooked up the soundbar, so it's not that. The SHARC goes into the input port of the soundbar, so no video is being passed through it)

    And a Apple TV 64 GB, with new remote/model from Costco

    And a PS4 Pro and Switch sharing a port on a splitter.

    The Apple TV is using the best possible cables I could find (Cable Matters 3-Pack 48Gbps Ultra... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081NXV3ZR?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share), and passes the 2 min HDMI test with flying colors.

    And… I get weird (mostly green sometimes red) glitches on the bottom half of the screen erratically when on Screensavers, YouTube, and sometimes the Music app when it does lyrics. It does not seem to happen on any other app: Netflix, HBO Max, Amazon, etc are all fine.

    This implies to me that the problem lies with how the tvOS and YouTube handles graphics and or, an issue on how tvOS handles graphics and my TV.

    I've attempted the SDR/Match Content swap, and it works, but:

    A. The AppleTV never gives me that Dolby Vision badge, even when using 4K Dolby Vision

    B. The TV's picture settings switch to "Dolby Vision Bright" (with an option of dark) on all the apps I had no problems with… but does not do that for screensavers and YouTube. Doing a back and forth comparison… they look the same, but I can't be sure.

    C. Screen goes black going in and out of HDR content, and I occasionally lose a second or two of audio when doing so.

    I've attempted other ports, swapping cables with the one provided with my Blu ray player… and nothing.

    So my question is: is there other solutions other than 4K SDR and Match Content, and even though it doesn't show up as Dolby Vision for some reason, is it possible I'm actually getting Dolby Vision on the screensavers and YouTube?

    AppleTV 4K dropping frames when casting from MBP

    Posted: 13 Nov 2021 02:58 PM PST

    Hi.

    I'm having issues with AirPlay dropping frames /looking choppy when cast from my 2019 MBP.

    Is there a port I can open or something I can do to give it a larger video buffer? Is this a known issue? It's most noticeable when using AirPlay for sports.

    Thanks for your help.

    AppleTV+ movies missing Rotten Tomatoes scores

    Posted: 13 Nov 2021 07:07 PM PST

    I love using the Rotten Tomatoes score to help identify the better movies available to watch through AppleTV. For the most part, I've found it to be a good indicator of both good and bad movies.

    Unfortunately, I've noticed that AppleTV+ movies don't have a Rotten Tomatoes score. Is this on purpose? Do they not have a RT score?

    Atmos is not default in Netflix when using AirPods Pro

    Posted: 13 Nov 2021 06:45 AM PST

    I've been using my AirPods Pro for the Spatial audio and everytime I turn on my Apple TV 4K 2021 and play a supported movie in netflix, I don't get Atmos via the airpods pro. Only after I press& Hold the TV button on the remote, go to headphones and click on Spatial audio (that will be on but will usually say Stereo or 5.1) I will get Atmos.

    Is there a way to fix this so Atmos will be the default?

    Apple TV not working with OG homepods

    Posted: 13 Nov 2021 04:14 PM PST

    It's a pre 4K Apple TV. Whenever I send audio to any of my HomePods the picture freezes but the audio continues. If I revert back to tv speakers it plays fine but anytime I try to send audio to OG HomePods or even the mini it freezes. No clue on what is happening but I'm getting very close to walking away from all things Apple in my home. With the exception of my phones and watch. Anyone else experiencing this?

    Apple TV 4K CEC Issue

    Posted: 13 Nov 2021 08:05 AM PST

    I'm having a frustrating CEC issue with my TCL Roku TV 75S535 and Onkyo TX/NR509 Receiver. I have the aTV hooked to the TCL, and hdmi ARC out from TCL to Onkyo (onkyo is old, doesn't support 4K HDR). All CEC enabled.

    The power button on the aTV remote turns everything on - great.

    Power off is where things get weird. Everything turns off at first when I hit the power again on aTV, but then the Onkyo turns BACK ON.

    This didn't happen when I was using just three TCL and Onkyo (TCL remote). As far as I can tell, it looks like when I power down with the aTV remote, the Onkyo shuts off immediately, and the TCL a second or two later. My theory: that small delay from the TCL sends the Onkyo another CEC power pulse, and that prompts it to turn on. But I don't know how to avoid it.

    Any suggestions?

    I think I could work around the issue if the aTV power button could be taught to power on the TCL via IR, but I don't see a way to do that either.

    Thanks!

    I am trying to play they sound from my apple tv to a portable speaker. The portable speaker works perfect with my iPhone. On the Apple tv screen it looks like it's working but there is no sound coming out of the speaker. What am I missing?

    Ask apple to add 16/44.1 audio to ATV4 HD models

    Posted: 13 Nov 2021 08:35 AM PST

    The ATV4 (AKA HD) is capable of playing lossless stereo. But, unlike the 4K, the 4 and HD did not get this update.
    If you would like to see Apple do this so the HD can play Apple Music at 16/44.1, please send a note asking they add it to https://www.apple.com/feedback/apple-tv/

    Of course, it has to be sending audio via HDMI to an AVR with a DAC that can play 16/44.1 which, all can.
    We are essentially asking for 1970s CD quality music, which is terrific and all most people would like or need.

    Apple TV used all my Comcast bandwidth. Beware!

    Posted: 13 Nov 2021 04:58 PM PST

    I'm in the Apple TV+ trial after buying a phone. After I watched Fitch and about 15 episodes of Ted Lasso, I get a message from Comcast to tell me that I am at 90% of my allotment.

    Holy cow, I run close to my Comcast limit but never over. This month may be the gratis month of overage I get…..

    I'll have to dial down the fidelity from AppleTV and see how it goes for the rest of the month.
