    Hisense TV no HDR

    i just purchased a Hisense 55 inch 4K TV and I can’t get the Apple TV to accept that it has HDR. The model number of the TV is 55H6D. I think I covered all of the bases. Bought a Monster 2.0 HDMI cable made for 4k sets. I did a firmware upgrade on the TV when I first installed it. I turned on...

    So who is Returning their ATV over the Switch Issue?

    Very disappointed in my ATV. Some of you may know that this was my most anticipated device and I LOVED the fact that Apple was upgrading all my movies for free. I kept wondering what the catch was going to be. Now I know. Who at Apple thought it would be a good thing to release a Streaming...

    Rental movies doesn't show no. of days left anymore in tvOS 11???

    Is it there on your Apple TV? I contacted Apple Support and they just plainly said this feature is removed, which is plainly stupid. Can anyone confirm? If you rent a movie, open TV app and hover on the poster and see if there is this information on the top right of your TV (for tvOS11 only).

    Apple TV surround sound setup

    I've been using Apple TV 3 in my main living room with an old 5.1 Yamaha receiver, connected via optical cable and it has been working great. Now considering getting the new Apple TV (or even the 4) which only has HDMI. I saw some decent deals at bestbuy for receivers and don't need anything...

    Can I only use the Theatre from iMovie? But not iMovie.

    I am looking for a way to store my home movies in iCloud. Apple still hasn't have an option/app/solution for this. I recently read about iMovie Theatre: it stores homemovies in iCloud with an Apple TV to view them. But I make my movies in Final Cut Pro X. Is there a way to bypass iMovie and load...

    Hello guys, I'm considering buying an Apple TV for casual gaming. I know it has some great -casual- games, but do you think it's a good "gaming console"? I don't care about AAA titles like Call of Duty. I just want a few minutes of fun... One more thing... Does it download all my...
