Anybody else receive there's in less than great condition?

Mine's arrived today and it looks like the box has been kicked around the warehouse but the unit itself is scratched. Not terrible but definitely not Grade A/Mint.

Anyone looking to sell if they weren't happy for whatever reason, I'll pay you for the value plus postage. Made a wanted thread :smiley:

well mine arrived still in it's shrinkwrap lol...brand new :smiley:

Well chuffed now

still out of stock today and CEX have put the price up of all Apple TV models by £10 ! (grade A and grade B variants of both the 32GB and 64GB models)

really simple to setup! you'll definitely need the nimbus controller

Does this have a regular 3.5mm headphone jack :wink:

Thank you. I was edging towards the Roku 3 in my thoughts. I did wonder if I could achieve the same with the Sky now box which is basically a Roku with Skys on firmware. If I could sideload the Amazon video app onto it then that would be great. All I'd be missing then is Netflix (not used for years) and also missing Airplay mirroring as you say.

thanks you for this, very helpful

Roku 3 (probably the earlier ones too) will do all of that :smiley: without the double bonus of the AirPlay :disappointed: It does seem to support some sort of mirroring but seems limited to Microsoft or Android devices (I've not tested it).

What would you say the best solution is then? I'm fed up of multiple boxes that still don't do every task. iPlayer is now available for the Apple TV 4 by the way.

I have a sky now TV box and Apple TV 3 at the moment
Apple TV is great for mirroring from my MacBook and iPhone, I also have some iTunes purchases, just a handful of movies and music, not a lot, but these all play through the Apple TV. Sky now TV box is great for all the standard catch up services (player, ITV hub, CH5, all4). Occasionally I subscribe to Sky now TV services on a month by month basis as there are often deals, both work on the Sky Now TV and Apple TV. I also occasionally use Amazon prime video on a month basis - neither of my boxes will support this - I don't want to buy an Amazon fire stick/fire box as thats another unit and doesn't do everything else anyway. So at the moment I use the Apple TV to mirror Amazon services from my laptop or iPhone - not ideal.

I understand that most providers of smart boxes don't want to provide support for competitive services. However it would be nice if there was a smart box that did all the usual catch up services from the free to air channels, and:
- Sky NOW TV access
- Amazon prime video access
- Netflix (Not for me personally but most people will probably want this)

And a double bonus would be the ability to still mirror my MacBook and iPhone.

Maybe one day there will be such a device !

Received my USB C cable today. Will get side loading Kodi sometime this week!

ok thanks. appreciate that, I'll wander over to google to get the instructions. Did think it a bit strange Apple having emulators on the store.

Well for me kodi and movie app pretty much does everything I need. Live tv and and all shows in one place.

I think you'd need to sideload it using Xcode on a Mac

awesome price, I have the Nintendo/SNES/Sega emulator working on it. All the retro games are awesome!

I have the 64GB version (not worth it IMO over the 32GB). Unfortunately it remains unused as unlike my Roku 3 it doesn't have ITV Hub, All 4 or Demand 5. Hopefully the companies will make them soon, shouldn't have thought it would be a huge leap from their existing iOS apps.

I disagree, I went wth the Amazon Fire TV because the Apple TV lacked hardware functions and apps that I needed. If you don't need a TOSlink or catch-up TV apps for mainstream UKTV, the Apple might be a good option though.

I put Kodi onto mine last night having received my USB C cable. 1st impressions are pretty good. All addons that i've tried work ok and all my NAS drives went on flawlessly. I guess there must be some issues with it being an Alpha release, but i've not come across them yet.

Sounds great! Thanks for the feedback. I ordered one yesterday so can't wait to get it.

Has anyone received theirs yet?

Went into the Manchester Arndale CEX store an hour ago and they had 2x 64GB versions in stock, grade A, £120

thanks

Mine was brand new!

Kodi available on this??? Missed it on atv3 so might be worth a pop now!!

My brother got a Grade A and it arrived with the original box in mint condition and with a 2 year guarantee which is better than Apple so you can really go wrong.

Anyone got a list of must have app's for 4th gen apple TV?

I got one of these for Christmas, its really good, the apps are fantastic, much more on offer than basic streaming apps. My kids love Just Dance, Song Pop Party, Legends (monster trucks) and crossy road. I have Infuse (to connect directly to my NAS (via FTP)) for home movies, Netflix and iPlayer. The remote is great for quick searching Netflix with your voice.

All OOS

Has anyone received theirs yet?

Bargain price, looks like I missed out, but they will probably still have some in stores.
Over 100 left in stock of the 64GB version which is £120 grade A or £110 Grade B but there is only one left in grade B

Excellent price for this.

thx, took the last one :smiley:

8 to go

Looking at this for my daughter's birthday, is this a reliable website to buy from???

Soon gone 11 left

Has anyone recieved one from cex yet?

Are they boxed with all accessories?

Since kodi is now a possibility on these I'm tempted to get one.

Cheers pal

Yea it's still problematic but the key is its being worked on.

There are a few other apps which are really good and make this so much better than anything else on the market.

Ordered mine today! this comes with 2 years of Guarantee from webuy.com :smile:

What does Grade A means: Mint: Working product in mint cosmetic condition with all essential accessories.
