According to our media player expert
With the Apple TV HD - 32GB, you can stream music, movies, series, and photos to your TV. This media player connects with your iPhone, iPad or MacBook as soon as you're near it, allowing you to easily play your favorite photos or Netflix movies in 1080p full HD on a big screen. Control the Apple TV from your armchair with the included Siri remote control with touchpad or via the iRemote app on your iPhone or iPad. Because the remote control has a motion sensor, you can also use it as a game controller. Prefer to play with someone else? Use your iPhone as an extra controller.

Device and Interface Apple can deliver a beautiful product like no other. The Apple TV 4 is considerably heavier and somewhat higher than its predecessor. I don't really find this a problem myself, rather it's nice because it gives strength and you can also keep your cable management clean in this way.
I think the remote control is genius, it's really nice to swipe through everything. T feels just like any other apple product with a touchscreen t just works flawlessly.. Although I have to say that when you use it for the first time you have to get used to it.
I don't know yet whether the light remote allows the more serious games to be operated properly. At Asphalt I thought it was very "weird" that I had such a light thing in my hands that I had to tilt to steer. But that too is a matter of getting used to?
I think the interface is very nice, everything is clean and tidy and especially the eye candy, just wonderful that everything has an "effect". And as you are used to, you can force close apps (double home), like in the iOS multitasker. Moving apps again has been kept simple. (just hold the touchpad and you can swipe the app to the place you want).
Features The features of the out-of-the-box Apple TV are bare. Personally, I really like this, you can immediately start setting up your own media player! and don't have to throw off 10 apps because they use up space and you're never going to use them anyway. The Appstore.app is of course also present here you will find the useful apps that you want. And everyone also recognized: Youtube, Netflix, Airbnb and last but not least Plex! Heerlijn in combination with my Synology NAS ! The amount of apps is good for now but I can't wait for the apps they can make to get the most out of this Apple TV. Incidentally, you can access via Siri in English, but that's only a "half" solution, there will definitely be an update? Not? Let's hope so..
Then don't forget Apple Music, of course, and that looks good. There is no option for taking music offline. Switching between two Apple IDs is not useful in combination with Apple Music. The library has to be downloaded first and before you can play a song you are really 4 minutes further... too bad but who knows what the future will bring us.
You can search, in iTunes Movies and Apps. I didn't see results from Netflix like this. This only works with Siri Search unfortunately. Hopefully, Apple will make the API available to apps soon. For example, if Plex will use this, you will be able to find your own movies faster.
The screensavers are beautiful and just like the sound of the moving cursor in the menu (which also 'moves' through the speakers from left to right and vice versa. Nice Apple touches.
In some cases, you can use your iPhone as a game controller. This doesn't seem to be an option anywhere, but it's implemented very well (Apple's way). If a game can use the iPhone as a controller, you install the corresponding app and you can connect via WiFi via your iPhone. Karaoke by Smule, for example, works fine (except for my fake voice xD).
All in all a top device and certainly not a bad buy!

I first used the Media Box from ziggo, (netflix and videoland) but it kept crashing or was it so slow... Now with the Apple TV 4K, everything runs a lot faster. Can be operated via my iPhone. Beautiful image in combination with my 4K TV. Also received a funny card with delivery that made me laugh! XD

I ordered late yesterday and arrived this morning. Really fast from Coolblue. Spent a few days reading forums about the best media player for my area. I have a Synology 412+ which unfortunately cannot decode 1080p movies with plex. So I was looking for a device that could decode the movies itself if needed. Don't want to convert all movies to a certain format first. Device must be able to play MKV, DIVX, MP4, M4V, AVI etc, including AC3, AAC, DTS-HD etc. There are 3 devices I ran into. The NUC, this is more expensive than an ATV and you have to tinker with it yourself. Putting OS on it etc. HTPC, is even more expensive than the NUC. MiniX, runs on Android. Well, it works well, but you have to configure it first. And Android, nothing wrong with that, but I can't see the forest for the trees. Also, the Minix x8 (as an option) cannot play DTS-HD. The Apple TV 4 didn't have an app until last night to decode movies on the ATV itself. Well, when I heard that the Infuse pro could do this, I immediately bought it for my iPhone/iPad. You pay 10 euros for it, but this app is great. Can play anything on my iPhone. More than with the DS Video from Synology, PLEX or other media app. It also immediately gets the covers from the internet, plays all audio and also gets to see media info. Because the app was also available on ATV yesterday evening, you do not pay another 10 euros to install on the ATV. So received the ATV today and immediately connected it, put Infuse pro on it and tadaaaaa, My movies were all visible from my NAS. including covers, info etc. Playback went without any problems. Even Blu-rays. Inside the ATV is a powerful CPU that has no problem to decode the movies. My NAS doesn't do anything now, just forward the movies via SMB. And the sound in Infuse can be set as passthrough. My AV plays the DTS HD etc nicely. In short, no time to configure, search forums for tweaks. For this price and 10 euros for the app you have a super media player. And then you get an apple as a logo :-) What else do you want?
And there are more and more apps for the Apple TV. so i can only get happier.
