Nice!!! Congratulations:)
I am unable to control my tv using Apple TV remote (through hdmi) it is a Sony Bravia
Do software upgrade for the box then select hdmi under volume control I had same issue
By an external speaker some tvs just aren’t supported. https://support.apple.com/guide/tv/use-ios-or-ipados-control-center-atvb701cadc1/tvos
I had to use a more modern hdmi cable to get this feature to work for me

You won’t regret it, it smokes any set top box or built in tv apps.
Not any. I run last gen AppleTV and Nvidia ShieldTV alongside. They are comparable devices. Apple surely has downsides like no side loaded apps, no ad blocking, audio pass through is sketchy to say the least. Both devices lack HDMI 2.1 support therefore no 4K 120FPS option. Which is rather embarrassing considering Apple is 3 years newer tech.
the 2017 Apple TV out Performs the Garbage Nvidia Shield, Can’t i paid 250$ for one and not a apple TV, I stopped using it 6 Months of how Buggy it got, The ads on the home screen, the remote that came with it never worked and apps always crashed… I could go on… Etherway its the worst streaming device out there like the roku
I remember returning the Nvidia ShieldTV because of frame stutter. The match frame rate didn’t exist or work for me. There is only one device on the market that does this without flaws, AppleTV.
No other functionality matters for me if the picture quality sucks because of stutters. It’s a horrible viewing experience for me. I tried multiple devices before AppleTV and they all had problems with that one way or another and I eventually landed in AppleTV being the superior streaming device.
And it’s not even close.
I just wish it would support Kodi. I’d make the switch in a heartbeat
You can get Kodi with Appdb.to
You can use INFUSE with Wako via real debrid WebDAv or side load Kodi
It does and it’s not that close. These are what got me in on Apple 5 years ago.
Nice! I love mine. I take it on road trips if I’m going for more than a couple weeks
Enjoy! Please try the app Infuse next to enjoy movies from your own collections
Can I add movies from my iPhone to infuse directly? Instead of creating a NAS server with my router

Above Reddit thread had the same question.
Guess you can use Airplay from your iPhone to the Apple TV but I guess this is not the most optimal situation (also quality wise).
Also someone mentioned to host a FTP server on your phone so that you can connect from the Apple TV … Guess very cumbersome because the FTP app has to have access to the files on the phone.
Infuse shines the most (at least for me) when using a NAS (wired) with SMB shares hosting full UHD movies.
or plex
Setup color balance in settings. It does the most true colors for your display possible. It looks incredible
Thanks for this! I’d never heard of this until now, and it’s a huge improvement. I had to tweak the TV color settings as noted below.
I did that thanks.
Using your AirPods with it. It has made watching tv in the bedroom after my wife falls asleep a dream (pun intended). I don’t have to fight the volume up and down to avoid disturbing her while still hearing the spoken parts. Game changer.
The way it just recognizes your AirPods as easily as your phone does is awesome. And that I can click the AirPods to play/pause, adjust the tv volume from the AirPods. Just an awesome touch.
Use accessibility shortcut to reduce white screen, which also dims the screen. My wife appreciates that lol.
Accessibility shortcut is triple > button
Can I connect multiple airpods to an Apple tv 4k? Or just one?
Multiple
Up to two AirPods
Get ready for AirPlay not to work.
Mines working fine till now.
get better internet
My AirPlay wasn’t working originally due to a misconfiguration on my WiFi access point not allowing interclient communication maybe something similar is happening to you?
It will ruin you.
You won’t be able to use any other tv OS. It is amazingly good.
Cuz i got a IPTV, I got a fire stick, But i still love my apple tv lol
Not gonna lie, this is such a useless post.
It’s a nice box!
not gonna lie, your comment is such a waste of time
Hahah bros so right ✅
Enjoy! Makes every other streaming box feel like a child’s toy.
This is the epitome of a low effort post
I just got one 4 days ago and I actually can’t believe how I’ve gone this long without it. best money I’ve spent, I ordered them for the rest of the house within the first hour!
Hahah
It’s so fast that once you start using it you realize any other platform crippled the tv experience. My kids are now even telling Siri what they want to watch 😒 they are 2 & 3 😂😂
Yea but Im kinda upset with the fact that most famous ott applications in India aren’t supported with Siri like Netflix, Disney+ , Prime Video, etcetc
Awkward, i know netflix and apple are not friends but at least with disney siri works amazingly well. You only mention the movie and ask to play on disney plus and immediately its starts. Changing language is fun, as it happens real time.
