    Would My Apple TV 4K and LG CX OLED TV Benefit from an HDMI 2.1 Cable?

    I’m currently using an HDMI 2.0 cable. Would I benefit by upgrading to an HDMI 2.1 cable? As far as future proofing goes, I wonder if the next Apple TV hardware will take advantage of the HDMI 2.1 technology.

    Fitness+ Fitness+ on TV using iPad USB-C to HDMI?

    For those without an Apple TV but have an iPad with USB-C and want to experience Fitness+ on a big screen TV, does Apple "allow you" to mirror the display to a TV via HDMI? Is there some kind of HDCP protection that prevents this, presumably to force people to purchase Apple TVs?

    How? I want to make use of Scenes and/or Automations that include turning the Apple TV On or Off, i.e. waking it or sleeping it. However, I just don't see how I can do that.

    BBC iPlayer ‘Up Next’ not

    Since the release of TVOS14, anything I watch on the BBC iPlayer doesn’t seem to be logging in the UpNext function. Up Next doesn’t seem to realise I’ve watched a show. Is this happening with anyone else?

    Apple TV, new Roku Ultra, or new Google Chromecast?

    We are an Apple family but on principle I don’t like buying three year old tech, so I’ve pretty much written off the current Apple TV. We’ve had a free subscription to Apple TV+ (I think it came with my iPhone 11) but we haven’t used it even once, so I don’t care about that. My wife is...

    'House' iCloud account for Apple TV's ?

    TV's in our house get all of their programming from Apple TV's on each. These are shared resources. For instance, the TV in our family room - several of us sit down to watch it, not just a single person with their personal iCloud account. Frequently there are questions of 'Dad, can you come sign...
