Endless Mike posted:The cheapest available Mac you use with the monitor, keyboard, and mouse you already have isn't for the "common person"? I think you're starting from a bad premise here. I will say the Mini is an odd one because it's for the common person as it's the cheapest Mac you can get. But it's also for the pro in that in some environments you have all the pro equipment you need for poo poo except for the actual computer itself.

Is there a recommended light level for the room when doing the calibration or should it not matter? I did it in the usual lighting conditions for the room and it made a slight change in the color on the TV.

Protocol7 posted:I don't actually own an Apple TV but that is changing as soon as these new models release. It's really hard to say right now. It's a new device, there's supply chain issues right now due to COVID, lots of people are still pretty much stuck at home, etc. I could see shipping estimates slipping a week or two after they drop. Just order it whenever and it will arrive eventually. You could also order one and then once they're available at retail in a couple weeks you could always buy it at a store and cancel the order.

priznat posted:Do people get applecare on the atv? Probably not much can go wrong there other than maybe crushing the remote. The AC should cover the remote as well, so I suppose if it dies or battery starts to act up. However, on my old ATV 3rd gen, I did have the ethernet port go bad. It wasn't a big deal because I can go wireless, but there's always the possibility of it going bad.

Mr. Smile Face Hat posted:No, I don't buy those. I always buy everything CTO. I had a CTO 27 inch iMac that needed some repairs right before AC expired. It was originally just a bad HDD but the ended up replacing the GPU and something else as well. At work, they replaced an MBP for us. I'm in higher ed and we ordered a fleet of the old non-retina MBPs (the ones with the optical drive) right before they stopped offering them completely to EDU and enterprise. It had a 4 year AC warranty and right towards the end of the coverage, the main logic board started having issues. I sent it in and they ended up replacing with a retina MBP. Same ram and HDD specs, so it's a pretty decent machine. Since we had already replaced the old MBP with one from our reserves, I got a nice new MBP to play with.

fischtick posted:Not Apple hardware related, but this season of Bob's Burgers is six weeks behind on my AppleTV. From looking around, Apple tells you to contact Fox, and Fox says to contact Apple. You're buying them straight through the iTunes Store? I see that same issue for myself right now. That would sound like a Fox issue, I'd think. Like, to put this in simple terms, they just didn't give the file to Apple. I doubt there's anything you could do on your end to fix it. I'd just get a trial of Hulu and catch-up. That is a weird issue though. I figured at this point, poo poo like that is just totally automated. It probably is but there's a failure at some point in that process.

First thing to try is another HDMI cable. Then make sure your TV and ATV have up to date OS/firmware.

We’re about to cancel cable and switch to Hulu Live/various apps but we’ve got four tvs to cover. Just trying to figure out the best way to go about having everything set preferably as Apple centric as possible. You'll definitely need to replace that 3rd gen and anything older. Check out the Apple refurb store for some 4th gen (Apple TV HD) or better refurbs.

It could need pairing with the ATV and/or the battery is dead. If after charging it and it doesn't pair, or still doesn't work after pairing, it could be a dud.

They're just supposed to be re-writing it from the ground up.

Can you pair any of the ATV bluetooth remotes with a MacOS computer? Will it work with iTunes/TV/QT or other media player apps? Macs used to come with the old IR remotes and it was super handy.

Minidust posted:Was there an update or something that borked the 3rd gen ATVs at some point? I can still browse music in Home Sharing via "Computers," but can't actually play anything. It's not an audio issue, like the "player" interface doesn't even come up. Meanwhile it works fine as an AirPlay target still. If it's specifically home sharing that's busted you might need to log out/back in of the home sharing poo poo on the ATV and/or the host computer.

I figure one day they can basically shrink an Apple TV in a stick sized device. For right now though, I don't see them releasing one as a 'budget' Apple TV. If people really want that experience there's plenty of TVs that now work with Airplay. Smart TVs and other appliances have an AppleTV+ app now so they can watch that poo poo, so Apple already has their trojan horse.

Does it behave properly if the extension is disabled ? I didn’t know what the extension is so I googled it. It’s an ad blocker of sorts? If that’s the case you shouldn’t be surprised if poo poo breaks.

I try to use the app from the content provider (ESPN, NBC, etc) instead of the Spectrum app when possible. There's a few exceptions though. For some reason I can watch TCM on the streaming app/website even though my package doesn't include it, which means I can't use my provider login on the TCM website.

SlowBloke posted:Today, when putting away cables hanging around, my old atv3 box was in the way. Just finished plugging it back it, it's kinda sad how the only usage i had for it, after most of the app support vaned away, is now pretty much non-functional. You can only do full screen airplay and the moment any content triggers drm, the feed will die. Shame apple didn't upgrade the drm module, as it is it's pretty much e-waste. I won't purchase a new one since it's half the cost of an airplay enabled tv and at that point i might as well refresh my old bravia. You do you, but a $260 TV is going to be full of lovely apps (even more expensive ones are). With an Apple TV you will never once have to gently caress with that poo poo. That's well worth the premium.

Saoshyant posted:I've been seriously considering an Apple TV thing, between needing a little box like that for one of my main TVs and some actual game exclusives I certainly wouldn't mind playing on a larger screen (mostly stuff from Sega). Some products get refreshed like clockwork, the ATV is not one of them. In that scenario, just buy one. Even if a new one comes out in a couple months, the one you have probably won't be that much different to where you'd have wasted your money.
