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

Is 64GB enough storage for you?

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?

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

Monoprice certified high speed cables should be fine.

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

My PS4 controllers had problems until i changed the HDMI cables

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.

+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.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Or just buy directly from Monoprice

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year 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.
