Is 64GB enough storage for you?

[–] Killingdevil@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I think it’s more than enough YT TV, YT, Peacock, Paramount, Netflix and Disney/hulu I don’t think that would take up too much space right?

[–] tizzputt@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Youll be fine, all those together take up maybe 3-4GB if they’re universal apps. None have local storage usage (beyond temp caching)

I recommend getting a shielded cable if you want to play with controllers.

My PS4 controllers had problems until i changed the HDMI cables

Monoprice certified high speed cables should be fine.

buy Apple TV on sale and order a Monoprice certified 8k cable. WAAAAY cheaper and probably better.

Go on Amazon and buy Zeskit Maya HDMI 2.1 cable.

[–] Geniusxavi@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

+1 for Zeskit

First off, check Apple’s Refurbished Apple TV section, and get that 64 GB model for $109.

Second, get a relatively inexpensive HDMI cable.

Third, save like $40 over this purchase.

Are you saying that the HDMI cable the 3rd gen Apple TV 4k isn't good enough?

[–] gpz1987@alien.top 0 points 11 months ago

Get a different box man....hell no

Fancy cables are a scam. Get a cheap Amazon basics one

[–] Sportiness6@alien.top 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not in my experience. My Apple TV’s needed the damn belkin cable ultra high speed cable from Apple to function the way I wanted. It’s basically the only cable I use now.

I used a cable I bought about 9 years ago. Works well and I get 4K HDR in 4:2:2

[–] Sportiness6@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah my AV guy blames Apple for it. He wasn’t and doesn’t use crap… ever. And for whatever reason the Apple TVs prefer those ultra high bandwidth cables. At least in my environment.

Amazon has a company called monoprice which they have hdmi cables for cheap and there pretty darn good too.

[–] ars3n1k@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Or just buy directly from Monoprice
