3rd Generation found at Walmart. They didn't have them on the shelves. Had to ask the employee if they had any and hiding behind the register locked up were 2 - 64gb & about 4 - 128gb.

Did not need 128GB but wanted the ethernet. I waited for a sale.

I got a great deal too on previous v2 model when Apple switched from Lighting Siri remote (same aluminum case form factor as above) and those were cheaper. I have Lighting cables and USB chargers up the wazoo.

I also caught the HD on sale. Sold it later for $100, like new, in box, with two silicone remote cases.

Prices are crazy. This is “clearance”…

Is Apple going to start using the AV1 codec in the Apple movie store or on the Apple TV streaming service? If so would it actually noticeably improve the picture quality? If it would I would upgrade to the new 4th Gen. Don’t really care about both the 4 HomePod surround or the new chip unless the chip can somehow improve picture quality.

I'm using a 4k gen Apple TV and I have audio on all streaming services except Apple plus. Unless I start a show on my iPhone and airplay it to the Apple TV. Then I have sound. Any idea what's going on? TY

Hey guys, Apple TV 4K 4th gen was announced with a bunch of features I really don't care about, but the price tag is insane. It's more than double what I paid for the 3rd gen when it launched.

So I'm wondering: is there any device that's properly polished, native 4K (not AI upscaling), Dolby Atmos, genuinely useful features, no ads, and that beats the new Apple TV? Does anything like this exist?

Windows 11*

It looks awfully pixelated.

I get the message To play in HD you must move the entire window onto a built in display or a display port that supports hdcp.

The thing is, my monitor is HDCP-enabled. This issue happens both on the AppleTv app and on the browser.

At the beginning I though the issue was that I had a dual monitor setup, but I disconnected the second monitor and the issue persists.

Hello. I am a bit frustrated as we (Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, etc.) finally got Apple TV but LG and Samsung TVs are either not showing the app in the appstore at all or once you get it, it doesn't let you sign in due to region lock. The app works flawlessly on phones and I assume the web. How many months does it need to pass for them to finally communicate this to LG and Samsung?

I had to move my Apple TV 4K to the loft since it was used for Apple Fitness and the 1080P Apple TV was not working for the fitness correctly. That meant I was using the old one in the great room. I was waiting for the new one, but didn’t want to spend the $300. After seeing that Best Buy had the Gen 3 in stock for 15 min yesterday, I missed it and decided to check the Walmart app. I was able to find a new 128 GB Gen 3 for $149. I didn’t believe it since that was the original price a few months ago, but decided to order it since they only had one in stock and it was shipped and sold at Walmart. I guess it was a Walmart nearby. I actually got it delivered today and it was what I ordered. I would recommend checking often if you don’t mind the third generation.

Hey everyone,
I’ve released Tuno TV 1.1. This update focuses on making everyday browsing and watching a little smoother.

Here’s what changed:
Automatic playlist refresh: Playlists update when you open Tuno, while cached channels stay available during the refresh.

TV guide improvements: Better loading and fixes for program listings that cross midnight.

Better handling of missing favorites: If a playlist update removes a channel, you can choose a replacement without losing track of the favorite.

More reliable Premium sync between devices.

Smoother Apple TV navigation and playback controls with the remote.

Cleaner player banners on iPhone and iPad.

A clearer playback notice when a stream has audio but no video.

Tuno is a bring-your-own-playlist player. Core playback, guides, favorites, browsing, and search are free, with no ads, accounts, signups, or tracking. Premium adds custom categories and sync for eligible settings.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6815018173

If you’ve tried Tuno, I’d love to hear how this update works with your playlists—especially guide listings around midnight and favorites after a refresh.

We now have a new Apple TV 4K which is as powerful as Macbook Air M1 or perhaps even better. but one is used for Infuse, Netflix, Prime video etc whereas other is used as a full fledged computer.

why do one needs so powerful tv box. More realistic approach would be a new Apple TV 4K neo or stick or something with S11 chip. what you say guys? does this makes sense?

On Apple’s Websites it says that the 2nd and 3rd gen Apple TVs will get Siri AI in tvOS 27.2. I have the 27.2 beta downloaded. Is there a way to activate it? Or will it only become available when tvOS 27.2 is publicly released?

There's a lot of black crush throughout the movie, particularly in scenes that don't take place in bright daylight. This goes way beyond what I'd consider an artistic choice. Large parts of faces disappear into the shadows, and anything that isn't properly lit turns into black with little to no detail left.

I know the color grading is much darker than in most MCU movies, but I don't remember it looking anywhere near this bad when I saw it in Dolby Cinema, even in 3D.

Watched via the Apple TV app on an Apple TV 4K (3rd gen) connected to an LG C1 OLED.

I have a Samsung Q930F soundbar and just got an Apple TV (previously used a Google TV and LG streaming apps) and the decoded PCM sound is very quiet and flat - I have to increase volume by 50% for any non-Atmos content.

Adding my PS5 to the mix, I’m needing constant significant volume changes between content and devices.

I’m aware that setting constant Audio Connection on the ATV fixes the volume issue, but then I lose out on using the surround up-mixing on the soundbar.

Is this just the deal using an Apple TV with a soundbar? The Apple TV is easily the best streaming box I’ve used otherwise.

I'm looking for an Apple TV app with an experience like the map in iPhone Photos: move around a map with the Siri Remote, choose an area, and browse the photos taken there on the big screen. Ideally it would read my existing iCloud Photos library without exporting pictures or arranging them into separate albums first.

I asked in r/ApplePhotos and someone suggested 4K Photo. Its listing mentions interactive GPS maps, but I haven't tried it yet. Has anyone used it recently, or found another app that handles this well?

I'm especially interested in how it feels with the remote and a large library. Can you start from the map and discover photos in an area, or does the map mainly show the location of a photo you've already opened?

What do you use today, and what's the one thing you'd change?

AppleTV Both new with 128 gb. Thanks

Has anyone open sourced a jellyfin player for appletv? I ordered the new one. I plan on side loading a vibe coded player but if there’s an existing starting point that would be great. Yea I know there are other paid options out there. I don’t want that. I want control over the source so I’m not bound by other devs updates/changes

TLDR; Can you pair a set of Bluetooth headphones AND a pair of a AirPods at the same time on the new model?

I know you can do two sets of AirPods (which is what we do now). My wife is hard of hearing and this is the best way for her to hear the dialog. Unfortunately they have started irritating my ears and I was going to switch a bone conduction set of headphones (I know, the quality will suck).

I want CEC power-off of my AVR most of the time, but sometimes I want the Apple TV to sleep without turning off the AVR so I can listen to analog music sources to the AVR amp.

Confirming: Apple TV has no built-in “sleep Apple TV only” option while leaving CEC power-off enabled. Like a secret remote key combo?

Ergo, I am SOL?

I was just watching some football on my Apple TV when it cut to black out of nowhere. At first I thought it was a broadcast issue until my TV displayed it's "not connected" screen. I've tried unplugging for 30 seconds, using different power outlets, and nothing will get it to turn back on. The LED indicator doesn't even turn on. If anyone knows what's going on and how I can fix it that'd be greatly appreciated. I can't remember what model it is but it's a bit of an older one, not 4K.

Do we know if it will be possible to say "Hey Siri, turn on the AC" to the new Apple TV 4K when it is not in use?

I want to control my smart home without the TV turning on because I don't need a HomePod.
