What’s your favourite thing about the Apple TV?
it just works.
Laughing at people still paying the astronomical cost of Sky!
Any Apple product works with it. Even if you can’t find the remote, your iPhone 📱 can control it.
Oh man! Don´t even try to search for IPTV sulotions to have on your AppleTV, it will blow your mind. TVguide, yep!
My favorite thing about the Apple TV is Airplay. I have invested in the Sonos ecosystem so Sonos having Airplay means I can bring over an Apple TV on a hotel together with a Sonos Move and get a better media setup than what most hotels can provide.
I bought a Sony Bravia last winter with GoogleTV built-in, and it's been nothing but a hassle. Bought an ATV-4K last weekend, and have been nothing but smiles ever since. A great feature for me you hadn't mentioned (as someone with ever-increasing tinnitus) is the ability to press the Siri button, ask "What did he/she say?", and it rewinds 15 seconds and temporarily turns on Closed-Captioning; brilliant!
Just tried that - and it does indeed! Brilliant 👍
I also just ditched sky last week at tv alone 90 quid with multiroom and hd add ons etc. And also have sony tv with built in google which is OK. But just got apple 4k yesterday and just set up. First impressions is fantastic. I'll get another to replace the multiroom. One paid I know hav netflix and disney at 30 quid and rest of apps are free. I got 3 months apple plus so looking forward to trying that. It could replace netflif bring my bill down to 20 quid. Even if I kept all 3 will still less than half what sky charged. I agree it will take a little time to get used to not having sky guide etc but I won't miss the continuous boxes freezing. Overall impressed. Looking forward to it. Has anyone set it up wit bravia tv and hta9....
A80K, 55". @@ImzVidsZ
Thanks for the tip. I did not know about that or I had heard it but forgot. I used to use closed captioning because I would miss so many things being said so that will come in very handy while watching a show or movie.
if you have a homekit doorbell (or use homebridge to add "non-supported" devices) when someone rings the doorbell you get a little popup on your appleTV with the live video feed. apparently if you have the persons photo in your contacts and it can match them, it'll also tell you who is at the door. Also facetime for appleTV is fantastic
Wow how do you add a home bridge “non-supported” devices?
Get 2 HomePod gen 2 and connect them ,sound is just superb, best thing I ever did . Like you having all our streaming stuff in one place and super fast and simple is a winner
We love our Apple TVs, got one for every TV in the house. So easy and smooth to use and the streaming quality from the apps just seems better. Would recommend one whether you have other Apple products or not.
Weird ecosystem edge case: Our dog got freaked out by a beeping noise used in every episode of Severance on Apple TV+, so my partner and I used AirPods to listen and watch. The fact you can use two pairs of AirPods on one Apple TV was amazing. Another ecosystem win for Apple.
That’s a great point I neglected to mention - thank you!
Can one person use airpods and also have the speakers on?
@@bladerealm124no that wouldn’t make any sense
Great video Mark, never seen your channel but I enjoyed this, exactly what I’m after.
Great budget TV also mini LED is the next best thing to OLED
@@olivermcleod9760yes it would - if you ever had elderly people watching at maximum volume it would be marvellous to give them each a headphone to adjust to their hearts content and let everybody else enjoy a lesser volume and maybe some conversation 😅
The ability to AirPlay video content from apple devices directly to the Apple TV has been really clutch for me since my family watches alot of video content that are only accessible via a web browser (and the fact that I can also use my AirPods on them during AirPlay is really cool)
Have got two Apple TVs and the ease of use is all. Extra points for the screen-savers, especially as I've an OLED where I'm a bit over sensitive about screen burn.
I agree with you totally. It's my main system at home as well. For the record, I have used the Facetime on the Apple TV with the camera of my iPhone. It is great fun and works as easy as anything else on the Apple TV.
I’ve had apple tv since the first 4k and i have 3 now 2 we constantly run in the living room and the bedroom and one for when we travel to hotels and resorts. so we can have our log in everything already ready. i love it and its use with the ecosystem makes it second to none. the views we get with the portraits make it even better
I just love the apple tv 4k 😊
I would never have considered one of these until I used a voucher from apple to buy one (student voucher when I bought a new iPad) with a small contribution from myself. I have a Samsung Tv with the usually suspects of streaming service apps and this Apple TV box just brought everything together to make it feel how it should be. Sound is so much better through headphones connected via the box and a minor thing with a huge noticeable difference is how nice the remote is to use and how the tv box connects to my iPhone so I can use the keyboard on my iPhone to search for a program or film makes it so much easier. It's a device you never realise you need until you have one.
Have had an AppleTV since day one. It's now our first way to watch TV. We love it!👋
Another reason why I love my AppleTV, eARC. It is pushing sound from other sources (eg PS5) to a stereo pair of HomePods and the sound is better than equally priced soundbars. Just brilliant.
Does this also work with airpods and ps5?
I agree with pretty much everything you have said. We have had Apple TV for years, but it's only with the 4K version that we have moved to using it as our primary source.... so much so that two months ago we cancelled our (UK) TV license. We use two of the 'old' HomePods as stereo speakers, and this works perfectly and neatly. The content on TV+ is pretty impressive, and although we have a Netflix sub we don't use it that much... have recently resubscribed to Disney+ but only due to the three month free offer.
Worth every penny - awesome 4K image plus outstanding Dolby atmos/spatial audio on AirPods (better than my 5.1 system). Does everything brilliantly.
Agreed!
I agree with everything you said, the benefits go on and on. Wehave been using an Apple TV since 2016 as the main tv device . We started with the HD, now we have the 4k for the last 18 months. The HD is still going strong in a bedroom. We have HomePods mini’s around the house and it is so useful to be able to play the sound around the house if you need to leave the room.
FaceTime is yet to work properly, it doesn’t seem to want to connect to the camera.
Apple TV+ has become my favourite streaming service. Everything seems a bit left field which I think puts people off initially until they try it. For all Mankind is back this week 🎉
I just got a new appletv 4K over the holiday season, cuz I love the ease of pairing my AirPods Pro’s to them. Unfortunately the share audio that allows you to pair two sets seems to be removed! Perhaps I am mistaken but that feature isn’t anywhere in my control center
Does the remote turn on/off the tv and soundbar altogether?
I was tonight years old when I learned of the Find feature in the iPhone remote. Great video!
I purchased this Apple TV 4K summer of 23 and I hooked it up and tried it but was more comfortable with my built in TCL control so I quit using the apple and put it away thinking well that was a waste of a 160 bucks or whatever I paid. Well fast forward to around Christmas and I bought 3 Apple home speakers and that lead me to watch a video or two about the Apple TV and I reconnected it to my brand new LG OLED and it’s been a much better experience than the stock controls for all your apps. The apps load immediately unlike the other TV box top app controllers and it’s just easy to use. It’s very close to my phone so it all works easy for me. I like the controller but it was a bit smaller than I am used to but then I went on Amazon and bought a silicone case for the remote and that really made the remote so much better and less delicate to me. I am glad I gave it another try and I recommend it to everyone that I know uses Apple. it works nicely with all of my speakers and my phone and everything else I have in the apples sphere. Thanks for the video!
I had no idea! Is there any speech lag or does it just work?
For me it’s used for Prime, Netflix (until the price goes up) Plex and UA-cam. That’s it
However it’s works superbly well on all those and for me as an Apple eco system user it’s perfect
I just upgraded my Apple TV 4K to one that has HDMI 2.1 and it was great addition to my LG 55-inch 4K TV (HDMI 2.1 supported). I can watched UA-cam videos that plays 4K@50-60hz) like ones from The Slow-Mo Guys
I aporeciate your sincerity and if you have more money than others not trying to manipulate them into buying something they don't need or want.
I’m interested Mark how you record tv shows or do see a tv guide with your Apple TV. Our sky contract is up in 3 months and I’m considering cancelling it. So I’d like to tap into some of your knowledge?
Interested in getting one, however the reason I've not so far is the Sonos issue with the loud banging that occurs from the sound I've read elsewhere. Anyone know if this has been fixed?
Got the Apple TV 4K plus 2 HomePods gen 2 that are paired. Combined with a 65’inch 4K QLED screen makes for an awesome visual and audio experience!
What’s the best way to connect a soundbar (such as a Sonos Beam Gen 2) to an Apple TV 4K and a recent smart TV utilising HDMI eARC?
I was going through your list of reviews,I did not come across a review for the Technics AZ80’s. Did you do one?
How do you change the color behind the icons?
I'm buying a second one. Love mine.
So I have the Sony A95L. With the new third gen apple 4k tv.. Which do you suggest the best settings on my apple? That ybc.... or rgbi high also do I keep it on sdr 4k not hdr I'm hearing from other people I took off eco took off ambient.. And still any dolby vision is always dark on ant streaming.. No matter what setting I have it on professional standard..
Please do an official review on the KEF speakers!!!
Mark , Thanks Much !.......
Great timing! I bought my second Apple TV yesterday before going to sleep! Integration with other Apple products is phenomenal. I love using my Airpods, controlling TV with the Apple Watch, iCloud Photos sync, the remote control is amazing, and other bits about Apple ecosystem. You really need to use it for some time to appreciate how great it is. Stopped using Android TV 10 on my Sony OLED TV.
Love my Apple TV 4K. This is why the Apple ecosystem wins. Superb stuff.
I generally love my two Apple TV 4Ks, but am disturbed by the occasional audio drop-outs when playing back material recorded from my DirecTV Streaming app.
The controller is a bit sharp in the hands they should round it off like the 15pro…
Although I’m using a case for the remote 😊
Backlighting on the remote would be a godsend.
I have three Apple TV in our home. My wife and son both have their own Apple accounts but we can share each other’s accounts on any of the Apple TV. That gives us a massive movie library!
Division bell in spacial audio 🤯 now you’re talkin’ 👌
Genuinely one of the best purchases I’ve made in last 12 months
100% agree! The Apple TV is now epic
Probably the best Apple product
Your tv is mini qled or oled
The Apple TV 4K is awesome device to add to your arsenal, especially if you own other products from Apple. The price is very acceptable, which can not be said for some other Apple products. I stopped using apps installed through the tv's OS, or the set-top box for cable tv. All I use is the Apple TV 4K, pretty handy indeed. I can even operate my lights or light scenes on it, thanks to the Apple Home integration.
Apple TV 4K suppport ultrawide monitor?😊
This would be a good one to revisit with the next version of TVOS since it changes the tv app and removes iTunes movies
You were wrong but now you are right🙂
I’m looking at this and ditching sky. I currently have sky multi room I guess I will need 2X Apple TV?
Yep!
Ive been a big fan of Apple TV for years, love the screen savers but I still wish you could delete or hide some and just have your favourite ones on display, yes I know you can turn off some themes but you don't need to fly over a desert or clouds twice, there is also a new menu on the Apple home page which I'm surprised you didn't mention, maybe it's a Beta thing, anyway great video as usual.
Thanks for the kind words. Which new menu?!
Click on the Apple icon then click left on the outer circle of the remote (sometimes more than once) and you get a drop down menu with channels and search stuff.@@MarkEllisReviews
Sound quality is the main reason I keep my Apple TV and Spatial Audio on my AirPod pro 2
Things are often recorded in stereo NOT surround. The multi tracks are given to a mix engineer who will up mix into 5.1, 7.1 etc
For music? Obviously!
@@MarkEllisReviews aye! It’s fairly standard across the board!
I'm a bit of a hybrid with my tech, MacBook Air M1, Ipad pro 2020, and Samsung S23 Ultra! and then like Mark ditched Sky after years of paying far too much for what I actually used, I began looking at alternatives and believe I spent far too many hours in my opinion doing this but long story short I jumped into the ATV 4K and what a release, I now probably spend just short of my previous Sky subscription but have so much more content which I actually what and also don't channel hope which really did drive me crazy. I don't have enough time to go into alll the great features of the ATV but as others here just find along with other apple tech just works! (Albeit I can't see myself converting from my Samsung S23 ultra to an iPhone unless iPhone 16 does something amazing! sadly though I don't see them every having an inbuilt stylus which I use daily with my Samsung) I continue to be optimistic that one day I will have an iPhone!!!!
Silly question maybe but can’t you run the Apple TV to the TV and use earc to your speakers for lossless audio? Why use Bluetooth?
I’m sure you can! Bluetooth, as always, is just convenient - for this setup (everything is plumbed in at home).
You can use eARC but the ATV does not support lossless surround sound codecs such as TrueHD. It supports lossless Apple Music though.
I’ve just watched all of your video. You did go on about the speakers a little bit too much but then again you had to because they gave you a set for free. I’m going to give you 10 out of 10 for your video the little bit about finding the loss remote fantastic I have had my original Apple TV since 2012 just been to the flagship store and bought the K4 most expensive with the biggest amount of storage absolutely over the moon, especially for watching new movies like Oppenheim and Napoleon thank you for your time.
Regards
DSM 🇬🇧
I did think it took a little while to set up, but got the hang of it in the end as I’m an apple product addict the screensavers are fantastic. Is there a way we can choose different settings for screensavers?
I was paying close to $200/month for DirecTV both the satilight and streaming versions. How is that compared to SKY?
That’s much more than I was paying!
@@MarkEllisReviews I use Philo now for a live TV service. 80-90 channels and only $25/mth.
I use it for buying movies 🍿 🎥 in 4K… I mean when Jaws is £2.99 I mean damn.. I have got quite a great collection of movies at great discounts much cheaper than UltraHD blu ray and I like to feel I still own a collection…
great device,but i don't like the fact i can't listen to audio from a pair of bt speakers like i can with my Firestick
I agree with every point you've made. I will preface this comment by stating Apple TV 4K has changed my life.
Apple TV has been one the best purchasing decisions I've made. Is it cheap?... heck no, it's Apple after all. I got my 2nd Apple TV 4K in July 2022 as a belated birthday present to myself and I can say there isn't a day I don't use it in some way. It's become the central hub for what time of my leisure time I choose to spend watching a film/tv show or using Apple fitness. I loved it so much that I decided to get a second one and put it in the living room.
It's thanks to Apple that I sit & watch movies/tv shows etc in the living room (I couldn't cast to tv) now because I can - I don't spend all my time on my own when I am home just in my bedroom now). Our entertainment system at home before Apple TV, was so fragmented & Apple TV has if anything added value & benefit and I think it's brought our entertainment system more together. It has in many ways, it's brought my family closer together and has provided a broader spectrum of entertainment to our lives (there's no trouble accessing and watching movies/tv shows in my library now I have an Apple TV). There are films/tv shows I have in my library that we don't have on the tv or on dvd. Factor in the fact most of my family have iPads & iPhones, it means that they get a fuller and more immersive experience in the Apple Ecosystem (without the expense of buying an Apple TV 4K themselves).
I upgraded my TV from HD to 4K because I wanted to create that at home cinema experience (2 HomePod minis connected) - this has been a blessing during covid times.
I've used screen sharing/casting onto my Apple TV in the living room so I can show something on the screen (ie there's an problem needs solving on a document I'm working on, disclaimer: all personal to me docs) & we've been able to sit, look at the document & talk through issues to find solutions. I know it’s probably an unusual way to use Apple TV, but it's been a blessing in disguise. Apple fitness has helped me keep on top of fitness goals during covid times.
The likes of Apple fitness being available to me has meant it’s made it easier for to keep going with my weight loss journey & lose 7st (approx 98lbs or 44kg) in weight. I’ve gotten fitter, healthier, stronger & slimmer.
I don't think what I'm saying above can truly convey just how much it has played a hugely positive role in my life but it really has changed my life. I love how seamless my AirPods connect to the Apple TV box. Admittedly, before getting my first Apple TV (32gb box); I was really hesitant to get one. I wasn't sure if It was worth it & would it I get any benefit satisfaction/enjoyment out of using it - I'm glad I did get it. I actually originally bought one then returned it because I had 2nd thoughts, only to later kick myself after more research. I've been encouraging my friends/family to get one. So, I went and repurchased it (the first tv box) again...
& I've no regrets getting it all.
Thanks for making the video. Mark, can you please confirm something for me before I make a purchase. If you log into the UA-cam app on the Apple TV 4K, can you see your private and unlisted videos within the app? I ask as our so called smart tv has the youtube app and when logged into it and I select 'my videos' only those videos that are visible, I cant see all my other videos? I have tried this on the PS5 and another smart tv and it appears there must be a limitation with the youtube app on certain devices. The only way I can play my unlisted or private videos is to chromecast the video from my iphone or ipad to the tv which is pointless when the tv already has a youtube app.
Is this Jony Ive talking? 😅 I missed that guy talking when new iPhone is announced
Anyone here experiencing weird rewinding and fast forwarding on its own while watching? Got mine about a month ago and noticed this behavior on my ATV-4k (128GB).
I wish you all the best for your baby, will it be technological like us? Maybe more, hello Mark a greeting from Italy. Maximum
My wife and I would each like to be able to watch television with headphones or AirPods. Even though Apple TV promotes the ability to have two qualified Apple Bluetooth devices, I’ve never been able to make it work.
If they ever put Safari on the Apple TV, it’s a no-brainer for me. The chip is plenty powerful, not sure why they won’t give us native browsing without AirPlay.
I agree - it’s a curious decision. I guess the ‘experience’ wouldn’t quite be right for Apple.
I am waiting for my apple tv to arrive, however I do not have an extra $2,000 for the tv and speakers 😂
You must of made this video before the latest update lol but great video you can now channel hop
If you have a MacBook, being able to mirror your screen to your TV wirelessly can come in clutch for productivity.
i don't own a Apple TV device, never purchased one and have no interest in this. 10 things you love about Apple TV,...that's wonderful, I don't own a Apple phone or won't ever buy one. I live in USA. But I've heard Sky TV is expensive.
Saying you would've wanted apple to get rid of Apple TV was you're opinion and people should respect that.
My mom won’t get rid of her cable service, but her cable company has an Apple TV app, so she still can get rid of her cable box and use the app for her channel guide.
My Samsung frame tv does all of this and I don’t need to mess around with multiple remotes and connections. Also the problem with apps is you end up watching adverts apart from iplayer app or paid apps. I have a tv with built in recorder and it records what I want and then I can skip adverts.
And I tried Apple subscription 6months ago and it was rubbish, nothing we wanted to watch.
ATV is a great device but I’m not sure it’s a ‘replace everything’ device. From a cost perspective all the streamers have bumped up their costs significantly (especially if you want the benefit of 4k and atmos). All the core services comes in at about £50/month now and you lose the sheer convenience of sky. My current approach is a main sky package with Netflix and UHD and then take a subscription with one of the others now and again to catch up on the new stuff. Neither Disney nor ATV+ have enough to justify permanent subs (for me at least).
You know what i hate about it? That it is Not able to Play iPhone 4K Dolby Vision Videos. It cant handle the codec. Very dissapointing.
Installed one yesterday, an hour later my wife said “why didn’t we buy it years ago”.
Says it all 🤷♂️
Always wanted to know what pressing the red button during an F1 race does hahaha
I was looking for a review of the Apple TV but it turns out the title was clickbait as this appears to be a speaker advertisement. I’m out.
I was desperate to get SKY out of my life with their awful business practices. Apple TV seemed to be the only viable choice to us. I'm seriously impressed with it. Yeah, it takes a bit of getting used to that you cant just flip through channels, but that is probably a good thing, right? What I have found is that I really only watch: BBC iPlayer, Channel Four and UA-cam (with a bit of GCN during the cycling season). One thing I don't get is that Siri on an iPhone is terrible, but on Apple TV it works really well, meaning you almost never have to type anything.
I sold my Apple TV because it added very little over the built in smart functionality on my several year old Panasonic TVs.
Fine, perhaps, if you have too much money, or subscribe compulsively to everything; but I think we'd probably all be better off if we spent a bit less time watching hours of mindless telly.
I have an Apple TV 4K and a Roku 4K. Is the Apple TV nicer than the Roku? Yes. But is it worth 3.5x the price? A resounding no. It’s simply underwhelming for the price. I mean a screensaver??? That’s a reason to pay 3.5x???
And to this day you cannot use the Netflix interactive content with Apple TV, so yes it’s still 100% crap for me and my family.
AppleWorkout
Is apple TV pointless if you have android devices
Virgins latest box is better than sky Q imo but where is sky sports? TNT sports? Sky movies?
Never will beat nvidia shield
The only reason I don’t like the Apple TV is because the controller doesn’t have any programmable shortcut buttons.
Like, you press a button and it will open Prime, or Netflix, etc etc.
If it has that on the controller is buy.
2 things: 1) Nvidia shield 2) Tivimate
Thank me later
The control is useless on anything longer than one hour,
Kodi on a Nvidia Shield Pro is a much better solution and cheaper
It’s very good but the Achilles heel for all the Apple ecosystem is Siri. It is AWFUL. Half the time it can’t do something, or mishears, or is just useless (search? Use your phone - literally that’s its answer). Siri is so bad that I’ve kept my ATV but got rid of my HomePod minis as they were too unreliable because of it. It’s a Ferrari with a SNES controller for steering.
Agreed.
We got rid of SkyTV and replaced with AppleTV, havent looked back. The only down side is the constant harrassment from Sky trying to tempt us to go back. No chance Sky!
I’ve never seen the point of Apple TV. Most of the apps on the system (other than the actual Apple TV app) are available on Smart TVs anyway…..
First
Boom!
Second
Boom!
It took you 3+ minutes to get to the point of the video, as stated in your title. Fail. Stopped watching at 3:32. You could be more interesting to continue.
I publish videos on TikTok for people with short attention spans. You’d like it - go check it out (and thanks for watching this one).
So I don't think I have been this disappointed watching a youtube video in a long time. You spend the first half of the video talking about everything BUT the apple tv. Then you go into some rather weird ideas about using whats app as a tv guide as if you hate familr or "your that person" that every group has thats anoying. You then start to almost point out something good just to skim over it. I have used fire tv sticks, roku, chrome's device, and every last single one of them is the same.. dog shit slow laggy as hell.. Apple TV is so overpowered that not only does it not do this its comically fast.
P.S. if your gonna list 10 things you like about a device make sure they are about the actual device and not the other devices you own.
I don't think I've ever been this disappointed reading a comment. First two sentences had me hooked, then it all kinda fell apart, mate. I'm all for constructive criticism, but it needs to make sense. And, please... 'you're'.
Thanks for watching and engaging, regardless.

Sorry but Apple TV is a non starter for me.Subscribed for Ted Lasso till that went down in flames. Most of its programming, except when it’s a financial gatekeeper for other services, is laughable. Foundation was an abomination of Isaac Asimov, other original programming equally terrible. Does NOT do hi=res audio, converts all sound sources to 24/48. But it’s *pretty* so that seems to satisfy the iDiots .
Ruined what might have been a marginally interesting counter argument with a pathetic school ground last sentence. The door is behind you, Tony - thanks for stopping by.
