No adds , fast , works well with other Apple products, for example being able to use your phone as a remote and also screen share and stream from your phone ! Also must add using AirPods while someone may be asleep is a must !

Still the best premium streaming device there is especially if you have a 4K TV. If you want to take full advantage of the HDR quality picture and Dolby 5.1 or Dolby ATMOS surround sound, you will need to purchase the appropriate high speed data HDMI cables so you can take full advantage of the capabilities of this streaming device and your theater system.
I recommend Rocketfish HDMI 2.1 that supports 48Gbps for 4K/8K support. Best Buy sells this cable and it’s also excellent for the current XBOX AND PS5 systems. Really no need to pay more money for an even “higher” quality HDMI cable unless it’s a really rare and special circumstance. The cable I recommend will prevent you from having compatibility issues and save your from spending more money than is really necessary.

Makes watching TV simple again, with no in-your-face advertisements trying to sell you stuff you didn't ask to be sold, on a device you paid for.
Use it daily, remote has a wide range of protective cases (I prefer a magnetic one that I can stick to my lamp), and I really like the Find Remote feature, along with the Remote app on my iPhone and Apple Watch.
It also made setting up my security system using HomeKit Secure Video a breeze and highly reliable.

The Apple TV came a lot earlier than I expected and it came all in one piece. It works like a charm and so far I haven’t had any problems. Hopefully it will stay that way.

Despite its age this Apple TV is a power house. We use it for all our content viewing. Eagerly awaiting the hardware refreshed version soon but this version still does great work.
I did have to turn off the touchpad feature of the circle button, turning it back into a push button. Not sure how folks use the touchpad button and arrows too.

Apple TV is great. Easy way to stream all your services in one place. The biggest disappointment is direct tv app typically fails every time I try to use it. Other than that, the picture quality is amazing on high def/4K tvs.

This is my 2nd Apple TV 4K purchase, Now I have one connected to my family room TV and one connected to my bedroom TV. This one is a replacement for my Roku 4K box that still worked, but I feel the Apple TV is far superior to the Roku. The Apple TV is super fast and smooth in its operation. I love the super clean and simple Home Screen the Apple TV has as well. Set up is a snap especially if you own an iPhone or iPad. There are too many advantages of owning this device to list here, I'll just say if you buy one, you won't regret it!

Hey everyone, I love this box and the remote so much that it’s unbelievable. I couldn’t decide if I should put the first box in my living room or my bedroom, so I brought two. It was just a great idea, to put one in each room where I spent the most time. Apple’s reputation speaks for itself.

It is what it says it is. It allows you to watch movies from Apple TV or purchased videos on your TV. You can also mirror what is on your phone to your TV. Works great.

Works great user friendly. You will need a Harmony Remote with the HUB and special Make (Not Apple TV) and Model number (Not Apple TV Model number) if you want to use a universal remote that fully functions with it. It need blue tooth. You can find the make and model number needed for the Harmony Elite with the hub to work by searching on the internet. Will work with a programable universal IR remote it just will not turn it off and a few other commands that you will need the apple remote for.

Okay I was shocked how much we have loved this. The smart TV we had kept telling us we were running out of room for apps and it was such a pain to use. I love being able to have everything on the Apple TV now. Plus you can give it access to all your apps and be able to search for a show across them all with Siri. Love that! Also love that you can use your phone as a keyboard. We’ve had issues getting the Apple TV to recognize its on the same network as our phones, so never gotten the screen mirroring to work though.
Two quirks we have had to work out: 1) randomly the volume button will stop controlling the TV even though the remote still works otherwise. There’s an IR reset available if you long hold the TV button and the down volume button. Just FYI because we found that quite frustrating.
2) after a power outage this thing would brick. Would try everything to get it to turn back on. We finally figured out that we had it in one of those surge protectors that turns off the energy when nothing is being used. The problem is that when the Apple TV lost power, it lost connection with the remote. The remote couldn’t find the Apple TV after turning off because it stayed off. The surge protector thought it was off so allowed no power, therefore the remote won’t turn it on. There’s no button to manually turn the Apple TV on to alert true surge protector it’s being used. Once we moved the plug to one of the “always on” spots this was never again an issue. Just a weird quirk with there being no power button.

Coming from a first gen 4k, the remote is much better than before. Got a bigger drive too instead of the standard model. Works the same as my first gen with no lags.

The Apple TV is one of those things that you don’t really appreciate until you use it for a while. I really like it and now that I have use the remote for a while, I went for not liking it to being a huge fan

Got this for my parents for Christmas, since their tv’s smart hub has essentially stopped working, instead of buying a new tv, I got them this.
They are not very tech savvy but we’re able to learn it pretty quickly. Streaming works very well, and the Siri built in is definitely nice for quick navigation.
It’s more expensive then a Roku or similar streaming devices, but overall I fell it is the cleanest to use. It also has no ads on the Home Screen which is a nice little bonus.

Love the Apple TV 4K model. Streaming with Apple Airplay from my Iphone is flawless. Installation and setup were a breeze. I have numerous TV shows and full series of classic TV, and the picture quality and ease of use allow hours of enjoyment. I did not take advantage of the free trial of Apple TV but it does look like they have a good selection of shows. Will probably sign up to take advantage of the large selection of movies and shows. Would definitely recommend.
