    Thanks for some good tips. I’ve been a long term user of the Apple TV, back from the original black box with silver, two button remote and I’ve owned at least one of every release since then. I didn’t know about the match content function. Hopefully this will resolve an occasional issue where content displays with very low contrast.
    My tip is actually an app pick. I’ve found the Plex Media Server very powerful. I can stream copies of my own media from a always on media PC, wirelessly to every tv in the house. Highly recommended!

    Another tip to go along with the voice control you talked about. You can also use the exact same commands hands-free, if you have another nearby Apple device like an iPad or HomePod or Apple Watch. I use this all the time when I want to get up to go to the other room and I just call out to Siri to pause the TV. The HomePod is perfect for this because it's equipped with long range beam-forming microphones; and it works from any HomePod in the house regardless of whether it's paired to the Apple TV for sound output or not. Some of the things you can say is: Hey Siri:
    Turn the Apple TV Off (Puts it to sleep)
    Pause the TV
    Resume playing on the TV
    Go back 45 seconds
    What did they say?
    Skip 5 Minutes
    All of that without ever having to touch the remote.

    Apple updated the match dynamic range feature with their latest software update, tvOS 16.1. It now works when set in HDR mode too, meaning it will now switch to SDR for SDR programs even when set to HDR as default.

    @benjamindepaz8429 Před rokem +63

    Here's a tip to go along with what you were talking about with the Match Dynamic Range. So having it match the dynamic range and frame rate, as you showed are important. But you can add to it by going into the main TV resolution settings and changing the Apple TV to SDR. Even though you change it to SDR, because of the Match Dynamic Range setting, when playing something in HDR it will switch back. The benefit to this is to ensure that SDR is ALWAYS shown as SDR and that it never tries to tone-map the SDR to HDR. But even assuming the Match Dynamic Range setting truly does always keep the content in SDR when it's non-HDR, there's one place where it will NEVER change it: the Home Screen.
    The Home Screen will always try to show in HDR if HDR is selected. This has the result of making the Home Screen look a little washed out; not as bright or well defined. This may not be a big deal on TVs where the screen is extremely bright (like a QLED) - but it's really bad on a lower cost TV. Many TVs under $1,000 have panels that are not capable of truly reaching the minimum brightness needed for HDR (regardless of whether they show the HDR logo on the box and the input allows it). And so for TVs that can't go past 500 Nits of brightness, trying to browse through the Apple TV Home Screen in HDR mode can be very eye straining as it's so dim and washed out. But by changing the resolution setting to SDR, and then enabling Match Dynamic Range, the home screen will have full 4:4:4 color and look much brighter and easier to see.

Many of us who can't or dont want to add soundbars to our TVs Systems can use the Apple TV to do something amazing with our Sonos speakers( that even the Sonos folks don"t seem to know!!). With your I pad or Iphone through the audio / video tab in the settings screen of your Apple TV play the TV through our sonos systems as each amplifire will appear as a wifi option. Additionally these options can be placed into the home app on your IOS device and the volumes etc for each amp/location can be controlled by your IOS device!!!

    I recently bought Airpods 3rd Gen. I used to have a home theater system with multiple speakers, in terms of audio that was better than actually being in the best seat in a theater or at the Super Bowl for example. The newer Airpods are better than that particularly because each person has their own personal home theater system, with the exception that with a home theater system you can actually feel the difference, like it's live versus a recording.
    I'm currently sitting at home waiting for delivery of my 2022 Apple TV unit as a Christmas present, and educating myself so that when my wife gets home I'll have it all set up. But now watching this I'm thinking maybe it's better if I just connect it and let her set up her own thing because we have a unique situation.
    I'm American, native English speaker; my wife is Japanese, native Japanese speaker. Both of us use iPhone and iPad. Until now we've been using an old Playstation, though mostly her. If only one can log in with global settings where it's that one person's language and such, I rather it be her. But ideally I want all our stuff separated by login by language, country, content, and so forth.

    Hi, I think it would be a great idea if you can revisit TVs that have had notable bugs in their software every 6 months or so to let the viewers know whether the the latest firmware has resolved those issues. Given that many new TVs have software issues when they are initially released and when you review them, your viewers can often go into a TV purchase somewhat blind. I’m sure it would be very valuable for many of us and be a popular series for your channel.

    You can also stream from a NAS. As a weird caveat, I’ve found you cannot stream Apple content downloaded and saved, it only seems to work with the universal formats like .mp4. To play Apple content, it must be streamed through a phone or laptop then airplayed back to the AppleTV. I’ve been led to understand this has to do with DRM (not claiming it’s true, just what I keep hearing). The online community has some “fixes” for this but I’ve found most of them problematic and/or unusable.

    I have 2 stereo pairs of OG Homepods (4 speaker) I use when watching content on Apple TV 4k and it's fantastic! However, I'm trying to find out of there is a way to use 4 homepods (2 stereo pairs) when using alternate inputs on my television? For example, when using my PS5/XSX or DVR? Currently I'm only able to use 2 homepods (1 stereo pair) when using any input other than my Apple TV 4k.
    I've googled this on an off for about 3-4 months and no luck confirming it is or is not possible.

    Very helpful tips! Thank you as I considering getting one primarily to do multiple screens with FuboTV. Concerning the new Apple 4K remote...I appears to be touch sensitive like a track-pad. I also saw where you can rotate around the bezel for volume-up/down, etc. But does have the standard directional clicks for up, down, left and right like most other remotes. Or do you have swipe to get that same effect?

I then have to return to home screen and start another app and return to CZcamsTV to get it working again. If however if I return to home screen and power off everything is fine to return to CZcamsTV when I power on later. Is it Apple TV problem or app problem?

    This is a great video. Thanks a lot. I don’t know it is mentioned earlier in the bottom of the feedbacks or is it only my problem. I bought all models from the 160 MB to this last one. Most welcoming spec was the bluetooh inclusion for me. Because I hate typing with the remote. So when I buy a model first thing I do the bluetooth pairing with a keyboard then do the all other settings. For this last one, I did the same. Then I went using keyboard for search purposes. But a bad surprise happened with CZcams. I cannot type into the search section with bluetooth keyboard. Which is the most important place to use the keyboard for me. Hope it will be fixed. Or am I missing something?

    When using the AppleTV 4K 3rd Gen, nothing can be streamed in Dolby Atmos, only 5.1, and I can see that it os activated in my AppleTV setup.
    Streaming something out of the AppleTV app like Ted Lasso, I do have access to Dolby Vision.

    Not sure if this is well known or not but as Caleb mentioned you can switch between apps by double pressing the TV button. But you can also close apps by swiping up on the click pad (if click and touch is on) or by quickly double pressing the top button (if Clickpad is set to click only).
    This can be helpful if you would like to restart an app (similar to closing out apps on an iPhone) or possibly to help with performance of the Apple TV (I’m guessing) if you have a lot of apps that were open but don’t need them all open anymore.

    One important note with matching content/ frame rate… it does slow down switching n creates a black frame in between even with the newest TVs… especially annoying with short form videos like CZcams… so you get a blank screen n running audio over n over. Had to disable as my wife really did not like that n even myself felt it was too slow. Ill reserve it for more epic action if anything.

HDMI 4 port can also be set to Dolby vision. However, my PS5 is connected to HDMI 4 because it is the only port that supports VRR. My question is, are there limitations to Dolby on the Apple TV setting if the HDMI can only be set to "enhanced" and not to Dolby? I hope that makes sense. Almost confused myself haha!

You can choose a similar setting in TVOS, but I haven't tested it with various apps to see if Spatial Audio works that way with a third-party headphones like the XM4 or XM5. I will test it and do what I can to come back to comment.
