Sorry if this has been posted before. But if anyone out there is in the market for a Apple Tv 4k 128GB Staples still has them for 149$.
It says in store only, but if you go into the store and they're out of stock they had no problem letting me buy 2 at the 149$ price point and have them shipped to my house.
It was fine the other day. Upon initial startup, the green flickering began. After restarting the first time (holding back button and home button on remote), there was a yellow warning sign while the screen continued to flicker. Afterwards the white LED started flashing rapidly and the screen turned off completely.
What you are seeing now is the result after the second restart, this time unplugging and plugging the 4K Apple TV back in, and an HDMI cord switch. I have not changed ports on the TV (ARC 3 port).
I’ve had it for about a year now give or take. Bought it open box at Best Buy, hasn’t had an issue besides a few months ago with colors being off (switched to SDR and it worked fine again).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.!
Model is 4th Gen 32 GB. tvOS 26.5 [latest]. Free space is ample. Apps will not download - Internet connection is strong tho [AppleTV, the service, is working fine. Streamed like 30 minutes of a movie]. Have tried:
*-Logging out and logging back in, both into my default profile, and the App store account. *-Logging into a different profile. *-Restarting the device. *-RESETTING the damn thing - twice. *-RESETTING and updating - twice again.
Every time: apps will not download. In the app store, the wheel just spins; in the main page, they're grayed out and showing Waiting...These are not paid apps by the way: just HBO, Netflix, Paramount+, Disney+. Any ideas are very welcome.
I stumbled upon by accident, might be helpful to someone :)
Edit: I stand corrected, it’s a stackshot for developers.
Just bought a new WiFi + Ethernet Apple TV for 139 from Sam’s Club. looked like limited stock left
I keep reading that the streaming quality of the iPlayer app on ATV is quite poor? It makes me wonder which device or platform I should be using to watch BBC content.
I watch everything on my LG C5 OLED tv. However, I also have a Firestick 4k, a Roku 4k and an Apple TV 4K plugged into it, so I have a choice of devices on which to watch iPlayer, Netflix, 4od, ITVx, C5, Prime, Disney+ etc.
The big question is which device to use for each of those apps, to get the best viewing experience?
Can anyone advise? Thanks! 🙏
Why is my onscreen display huge now? I can’t access the menu settings to figure this out. The pic is my YTTV icon. That’s the flippin’ ICON on a 55” screen! I unplugged the Apple TV box, plugged it back in to no avail.
The official Swedish price for the Apple TV 4K (2022) with 128 GB was raised at the end of June 2026 from 2,195 kr to 3,195 kr — an increase of exactly 1,000 kronor at Apple.se
However, many Swedish retailers have implemented even steeper adjustments, with prices going up to 3,490 kr.
To celebrate America’s 250th birthday, I dropped JellySee to $2.49 for a once in a lifetime opportunity.
If you’ve been thinking about trying a native Jellyfin client, now’s a good chance. Thanks to everyone who’s supported the app and shared feedback. Hope you all have a great 4th of July!

I recently got an Apple TV and saw the thread the other day about the ability to double tap home and swipe up to close apps. That made me think- what other hidden tips and tricks are there that most people wouldn’t know about?
So guys maybe this is a silly question but I am an iPhone user and I am paying Apple TV and icloud. That’s why I thought of playing Apple one and have also access to Apple TV and Apple Arcade. So I searched for some movies and series on Apple TV but it have some series that I don’t know. It’s not like Disney plus or Netflix. Do you think that these series or movies are good ? Is it worth buying ?
I have some stream URLs (.m3u8) that I want to play on my AppleTV. Right now I use VLC in which I can copy/paste these via the remote but that is not great UX at all.
I'm looking for an app that can fetch a list of stream URLs from a server and make it one-click to select/play them.
Anything I can point at a server to fetch a list of stream URLs would help.
Tour de France is seemingly only available in the UK through TNT for £30.99 per month, still with adverts by the way. Ok, i don’t like it, but I want to watch the tour.
Goes to app store, gets TNT app. Once installed it immediately displays a message explaining it’s not available on apple tv, and directs me to discovery+.
So I instal Discovery+. Once installed it immediately displays a message explaining TNT sport is now part of HBO MAX.
Instals HBO MAX, signs up online, watches cycling.
Who’s responsible for ensuring the apps on app store are current?
I accidentally discovered them today. This makes life so much easier
Hi there. Quick question: is there any way to change how AppleTV shows the volume level? When I use my TV speakers, the volume UI shows as this ugly ass white block at the bottom of the screen, BUT if I switch to any Bluetooth device, it magically changes to the elegant Apple one. Can I do anything to get rid of the stock UI?
On my Apple TV and my other Apple devices, it is not updating watch history. I have to mark episodes as watched. Because of this it is also not showing how much I have watched if I don’t finish an episode. How can I fix this?
I'm looking to hook up an Apple TV to an older CRT via component. I've come across a lot of converters but want to make sure I buy one that'll work well with my needs. I'd like to set Apple TV to output at 4:3 and I'm guessing 480p (unless there's a better resolution for this).
Also would a certain model Apple TV be best for this? We have 3 HD versions, 2 with the white ring on the remote and 1 without. We recently got a 4K TV so I could buy a new Apple TV and move this one but I'm find for now.
ETA nvm about the outputs, look like they all have HDMI except the first version and that won't work.
If you’re running tvOS 27 beta on your Apple TV and something weird happens, remember… you’re running beta software. That’s kind of the deal.
If you run into bugs, glitches, crashes or other unexpected behavior, your best options are:
If you’re dealing with an Apple TV issue that isn’t specific to the beta, post it here in r/appletv and someone will help troubleshoot it. But if something strange happens while testing tvOS beta, it’s most likely a beta issue and there’s usually not much anyone here can do to fix it.
Thanks for understanding and happy testing!
Founder disclosure up front: this is my app. Mods, if this crosses the self promo line, feel free to delete.
I've been a software engineer for over 30 years, and a while back it struck me that my family tree lived on my laptop, which is the one screen nobody in my house ever gathers around. So I built Bright Branches, a native tvOS app (Swift and SwiftUI, no web wrapper) that puts your family tree on the television.
The fastest way in is FamilySearch. A QR code comes up on the TV, you sign in on your phone (nobody should ever type a password with a Siri Remote), and your tree shows up on the screen, pulled live from your account, six generations deep. Nothing to upload, nothing to sync. If your family keeps its tree somewhere else, GEDCOM files work too, and FamilySearch accounts are free to create if you've never touched genealogy before.
It's built around the remote. No on-screen menus or buttons to hunt through. You just move, and the tree glides along with you, keeping whoever you're looking at in the center of the screen. There are five different tree designs, you can set your own family photos as the backdrop, and there are animated screensavers, so it earns its spot on the TV even when nobody's actively exploring.
To be upfront about what it is: a viewing app. The research and editing happen in FamilySearch or wherever your tree lives. This is the part where the people on the couch actually get to see it.
It's free to start, no card required. Search "Bright Branches" on the App Store, and there's an iPad companion app as well.
Happy to answer any questions. And if you give it a try, I'd love to hear how it goes with your tree.
