Only dogs and dolphins need 192kHz. LOL Click to expand... Not necessarily the easiest if someone doesn't already own the Apple TV 4K. Then it it's $10/mo plus $179 to $199.

One was free when I signed up for ATT TV in 2018 (which I cancelled).

The Apple TV has the ability to also have Kodi but it's a real pain in the A%$. Reactions: snakeeyes

I have Firecube for xfinity streaming for my cable for NFL and NHL purposes. And also Firestick 4K in the 2 other rooms. So I’m running 2 types of streamers. However if that xfinity beta app ever gets support on Apple TV, I’ll be giving the Alexa stuff to goodwill. LOL

I don't think any of the streaming services give you access to "your" music when/if you stop paying your subscription. When you bought CDs you actually owned the music (till you scratched the disc).

I have two speaker configurations saved, one with YPAO set to flat for watching movies and the other set to through with speakers set to small so the sub will still be used. This is for two channel listening. When I dont want the sub, I go to pure direct mode. Each one of my scenes set the speaker pattern depending on the activity and the corresponding inputs for that activity. Last edited: Dec 24, 2021
