My mistake - tested the same 4K HDR video on the panels YouTube app, and the quality was significant better. Was fooled by ATV’s upscaling to 4K...

Apple TV do a good job in upscaling.

Apple have decided not to support the google codec.

Yes it does very much. Now where are the anti-trust people when you need them?

I don't think its the same at all really - the MS issue was much more serious, in that its licensing agreement with third party PC / laptop makers imposed restrictions on them.

Apple have a limitation, whether self imposed or not, on their own product. There is absolutely no way the anti-trust people will or need to get involved.

Their view will be, this is an ever evolving landscape of new codecs and formats, the restriction placed on the consumer is low, it is not broadly harming consumer choice - this will get sorted out in time, if its even that important. 

A product that does not support all audio / video formats does not constitute an anti-trust case.

In the end, if you want a streaming box that plays YouTube in 4K HDR, there are plenty of them. Very different from the Microsoft case.

Well that would depend on whether the judge is an apple fanboy.

Guys, please get back down to earth. What do you think is the market share that AppleTV has? 10%, or maybe even 20? Amazon did not sell AppleTV boxes for years, and we all survived somehow...

Nope. The stand for the Exlipse is smaller and not comparable with the Avant 

Hi I’m curious as to how your Apple TV 4K works with the eclipse in DOLBY VISION?  Mine works in hdr 60k when connected to the sound centre, but not Dolby vision. B&O have not yet found a solution to playing Apple 4K  Dolby vision through the sound centre. It will play Dolby vision thru the other hdmi ports but there’s no control with the BeoRemote One.
