    PSA: If you still have pixelation/quality dropouts issues on 15.3 disable the apple tv analytics in the privacy tab of the settings.

    Posted: 04 Feb 2022 04:12 AM PST

    As you know, tvOS 15.0- 15.2 were having an issue where some content from several apps would start in very low quality forcing you to restart it several time until it finally showed up in maximum quality (my Apple TV is hardwired, and I have a 300/300 fiber connection).

    I was still having this issue with tvOS 15.3 on some apps/content, and called Apple about it. They called me back today, and said to try to disable all the analytics of the apple tv.

    Settings/General/Privacy: Sharing Apple TV data with developers: off.

    Improve Siri dictation: Off.

    Problem solved for me.

    Give it a try.

    I wish saying “Hey Siri, resume episode of…” would resume the episode or movie on the profile of the person speaking, not just the last profile that was on when the Apple TV was turned off.

    Posted: 03 Feb 2022 11:14 PM PST

    My family uses profiles on the Apple TV , so we can all have our shows on Our own Up Next page. If I ask my HomePod to resume a movie or episode of a show I'm watching the tv turns on and starts playing that show right away however it's on the profile of another family member so my show goes on their up next in their Apple TV app.

    I wish with voice recognition it would automatically go to my profile and start playing. Minor inconvenience I know, but would be fantastic for our setup. I know a lot of people usually just have one profile on their Apple TV for the household but we like having separate ones for Apple originals, games, and of course the up next page doesn't get cluttered with each other's shows.

    Dolby vision

    Posted: 04 Feb 2022 03:47 AM PST

    Just got the new ATV 4k a few weeks ago and when i want to watch DV content on netflix, disney etc the Tvs picture mode dont turn to Dolby vision as it did when i used the Apps from the tv directly before i got the ATV

    My settings are 4k SDR with match content and framerate.

    There are also no dolby Vision settings anywhere on the ATV that i can find.

    Tv is connected to an AVR with hdmi arc

    ATV connected to AVR

    AVR is HDCP 2.2/2.3

    Should i maybe connect the ATV to my TV using one of the other Hdmi ports?

    TV is an LG A1 OLED

    TV+ app is so good that I want an Apple TV

    Posted: 04 Feb 2022 07:27 AM PST

    I got one year of Apple TV+ with my iPad and it's gonna expire in March so I thought I'd watch Ted Lasso before it expires. But now after using the Apple TV app on my Fire TV Stick, I want to buy an Apple TV because the experience is so good. Somehow feels smoother than every other app and menu in FireOS and looks a million times better. Anyone else?

    DNS Quick Change app?

    Posted: 03 Feb 2022 02:21 PM PST

    Does anyone know if there is an app to quickly swap between DNS settings? I'm in the UK & use a smart DNS address to access my US-based streaming apps, however it's a bit long winded to have to manually type in the address each time I want to swap and then restart the Apple TV. Wondered if there was an app that you use to could quickly do this?

    Why does clicking the stick on an AirPod start playing music if I’m not in a video or a game?

    Posted: 03 Feb 2022 11:54 PM PST

    If I'm not watching a video or doing something that's playing audio and I click one of the sticks of an air pod it opens up the music app and starts playing a random song, why does it do this and is there a way to prevent it?

    Is Netflix Atmos weaker?

    Posted: 03 Feb 2022 10:37 AM PST

    I recently upgraded my Netflix plan to enjoy a few movies and I had the impression that it's Atmos is very discrete.

    On Disney+ I have a lot of good and rich audio experiences, it's like that also on the other platforms but Netflix. How do you guys feel about it?

    Do you need an AppleId account?

    Posted: 03 Feb 2022 09:29 PM PST

    Years ago I TRIED to setup an AppleId account to rent movies. I bought one of those Apple cash cards but could not enter the code into my AppleTV3, it needed an AppleId. Back then, you could not create an AppleId online. Strangely, the AppleTV 3 was not capable to create a new AppleId, only login using an existing one. You had to have a Mac, an iPhone or iTunes to create one for the first time. So I tried iTunes on Windows. It would not complete the creation process. I tried on multiple windows pc and all failed the same way.

    Now I'm looking at getting an atv4k and I'm almost certain I need an AppleId account.

    Can you create an AppleId right on the atv4k or online or Is it still a vendor lock-in shit show?

    New Airpods Pro and issues with spatial audio on first gen AppleTV 4K

    Posted: 03 Feb 2022 10:36 AM PST

    Picked up a pair of Airpods Pro a couple weeks ago and am loving them more and more everyday.

    One if the main reasons I bought them was to connect to my 1st gen AppleTV 4K and listen to content while the family goes to sleep and not disturb them. But more specifically to take advantage of using spatial audio with 4k movies (like Dune for instance). When it works, it's fantastic... but I'm having some significant annoying issues:

    1. Audio lag slowly develops over approx 10 to 20 mins... doesn't seem to have a pattern, but it's pretty consistent. I've run the wireless audio sync which doesn't help and doesn't seem related to airpods anyway. I have zero issues with any other audio devices including a HomePod Mini and my wireless soundbar and woofer set-up... only with my airpods.
    2. Spatial Audio turns off on it's own. It's still shows that it's "on" in the sidebar settings, but you can clearly hear it stop working and revert to non-spatial. I have to click it "off" and then "on" again to get it to work again.

    Both of these issues seem to be resolvable by either pausing and exiting the movie and coming back in, or sometimes combined with turning spatial audio off and on again. Sometimes these work and sometimes these don't.

    My question is... is there a difference between these issues with the 1st and 2nd gen AppleTV 4K's? I'm not a 100% on this, but the issues seem to me to be related to the box just not having the processing power to keep up with streaming a quality 4k picture along with Dolby Atmos combined with spatial audio sent via bluetooth to my airpods. Using spatial audio seems to introduce some lag when accessing the sidebar and clicking settings on and off... like the box is having trouble keeping up. So, does the upgraded processor in the second gen solve these issues?

    I've been thinking of upgrading anyway as my downstairs TV is still running off an AppleTV HD and I would just update that TV to the 4K. But the HD is serving that TV's needs just fine and so I probably won't bother unless my issues are actually resolved by moving to the second gen.

    For reference I'm on the newest 15.3 update and was having the same issues before the update. Have tried power & full reboots and factory resets.

    Thanks for reading and for any help!

    help please - connectivity issues with multiple services

    Posted: 03 Feb 2022 10:01 AM PST

    Hi All - my dad recently moved into an assisted living facility and I wanted to make sure he was set up the same way he was at his house: AppleTV connected to TV and all of his apps (youtubeTV, hbo, prime video, Netflix, Hulu) running through the appleTV.

    I got him set up with Comcast internet, and I believe he's getting wifi speeds (that's how the appleTV is connected) of 200Mbps.

    Everything seemed to be working fine except on a lot of the apps we're having login problems. Many of the logins attempts give us a connectivity error and say try again later.

    Is this a problem on our end that I can fix? Something with the network infrastructure where he is? Comcast? Any help/guidance would be much appreciated.

    Apple TV 4k playlist order - how?

    Posted: 03 Feb 2022 07:25 AM PST

    How do you get Apple TV to order the items in a playlist the same way they are ordered in iTunes?

    For example, if I make a playlist of movies ordered by year, that order does not appear to transfer to the Apple TV (tvOS 15.3).
