Apple TV 4K lets you watch movies and shows in amazing 4K HDR - and now it completes the picture with immersive sound from Dolby Atmos¹. It streams your favorite sports, news, and TV channels live. Has great content from apps like Apple TV+, Disney+, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and ESPN². And thanks to Siri, you can control it all with just your voice.
A: It’s mainly for apps. It’s worth getting the 64gig since it’s not much of a price difference.
A: No, you do not. I have smart TVs running webOS which is amazing and nearly as good as most of the streaming boxes such as AppleTV. if those are the only services you use, I would skip the streaming box. However, if you want to purchase/rent movies from iTunes you would need an Apple TV. The Apple TV offers more apps than the TV does giving you more possibilities. If you are not interested in those, I'd skip it. Same as the others like Amazon Fire TV or Roku.
A: This will work with a standard HDTV.
Q: can you watch regular TV on apple TV 4k?
A: By regular TV, if you mean local network channels and other channels you would get through cable then yes. Apple TV is just a streaming device so you need an account with a cable provider that allows you to stream content both live and on demand. FIOS, Comcast, Hulu Live, Youtube TV and any other streaming service provide this. When setting up the Apple TV you just put in your account credentials to stream the content from these providers.
Q: Does this include the free year of Apple TV Plus? I don't see it mentioned.
A: Apple website says purchase after Sept. 10, 2019 gives a free year of Apple TV plus. It doesn't have a cutoff/stop date on the website.
A: PLEX will allow you to play them if you have a PLEX sever installed on the RAID machine.
A: Yes, it's compatible. We're using it on an older (2014) Samsung Smart TV.
A: Yes, I have used mine with a 4K TV for the last 20 months, it will only send a 1080p signal to the 4K TV though so you are not taking advantage of the TV's full capability.
