Apple TV

[Topiary]

But it still can’t do full audio pass through and has limited apps available.
You don’t need a powerful device for streaming it’s overkill.
I would rather have open source OS, full codec support, customisation and pass through.
That’s not important to you because you probably just use official apps.
So that device fits your needs and wouldn’t fit many other people’s needs.
That’s why Android devices are more popular.

The only small negative, for me at least is the fact I can’t install TiviMate on it, but IPTVX is on par with TiviMate anyways, certainly smokes XC, IBO and Smarters.

But there’s that many positives for the ATV that I don’t loose any sleep over not being able to install apk’s.

I can switch between 20 different apps with 0 LAG or reloading, in the space of 20 seconds. RAPID!

Much better HDR experience on the ATV compared to the likes of the Shield.

Frame rate matching actually works, on every app.

There’s 0 ads anywhere on the device.

Best designed remote of all devices, and voice commands work so good.

I can mirror my phone or laptop with basically 0 latency.

Plex is rapid, and works flawlessly compared to every other device I’ve tested.

Last but not least the Dolby Vision standby wallpapers are a thing of beauty 🤣

Cons for me make it no go.
I have no issues switching between apps but I don’t need 20 of them.

Not sure what HDR issues the shield has other than HLG.
Most of the latest content is in DV except for UHD tv channels
I have zero issues with any image codecs or audio codecs.

My device has AFR built in so if an app hasn’t got it then I can use that.

As for the remote it lacks the buttons I need for key mapping when using Kodi and accessing quick settings on my AVR.
Also the extra buttons for iptv.
Voice control works great on mine too and no typing in apps just dictation through the remote.

I have no issues with screen mirroring on my android device or TV they both work great.

Don’t use plex, prefer Kodi and VOD apps with Debrid.

I can fully customise my Home Screen to whatever I want it to look like and use live wallpaper in HDR or DV.

Like I said everyone has different needs from a device.
You see to have gone through a few.

I wouldn't take any notice to geeky keyboard gits!
They are always going to look for some minor flaw (codec or other shite)
Like me you have the ultimate setup!
Pro shield and latest Apple 4k ethernet box on main TV and Latest WiFi Apple 4k box in bedroom.
I don't know what Apps I couldn't put on Apple as I have all the apps I would use, plus I have a USA Apple id as well to grab apps not in UK store!
I used smart DNS which runs flawlessly!
I used Tivimax but have Tivimate on shield.
The sound and picture is stunning through my soundbar system with Dolby Atmos and Dolby vision .
This is the best visual and audio experience I have had coupled with my LG c3 77 inch tv

Is that all you can do is resort to childish insults then make yourself look a hypocrite by bagging on by having the ultimate setup lol
Not once did I insult you I just stated why I wouldn’t own an ATV device and it seems to have hurt your feelings.
You need to grow up and by the way you should have of bought the LG G3.

I think you are confused what ignore means because you have just replied with another childish insult lol
Also you didn’t insult the user who said the ATV was a pile of crap either.

Now now boys

Now now boys

I am just replying to someone who is making insults but is meant to be ignoring me.
Nowt as queer as folk I suppose.
