I’m having the worst luck trying to get this to play on my tv.  3 fire sticks and apparently none of them can get the Apple TV app.  An LG OLED smart tv that supports Atmos and it won’t get the app until later this year.  An actual old school Apple  TV 2nd generation that can’t get the Apple TV app because for whatever reason only gen 3 and up can get it (WTF Apple).  And the Apple TV app won’t let me mirror from the iPad even though I can mirror everything else.  I’m usually pretty tech savvy but this one is torturing me.

Apple isn't tech.  It's a sheep milking company

The thing I find challenging about the firestick is finding a specific app.  It seems to lack a search function.  On the other hand you can go to the amazon website, search for the app, and buy it for zero dollar and tell it to install to your firestick.  That's the easy way

Ya'll can bag on Apple all you want, last night I watched and listened to this record in Atmos on headphones and the show in Dolby Vision and it blew my mind. There were so many elements of this record not clearly represented on just the physical album. If you have the ability to hear it in Atmos on headphones, you will be destroyed. Trust me.

Apple has nothing to do with the Atmos production.

I wasn't super impressed with the surround sound, didn't seem like much from the rears. Also wished the video was 4k.

Have they said that it'll be available to rent / buy after the free viewing period ends?

It will be surely available elsewhere after they get off the 'exclusive' Crapple promotion.

i 100% disagree with your statement. my atmos setup (7.1.2) goes ape shit with the rears.

My crappy old 5.1 home theater in a box setup produced awesome sounds all around. I wasn’t expecting much out of this, but I was pretty impressed. I can only imagine what this sounded like on a proper atmos setup.

@mr_perfect curious what setup you have. I'm looking to upgrade from an almost non-existent audio setup into a decent one that would last for some years. I was wondering if it's worth it to get an Atmos setup vs something like Sonos 5.1.

Any other online store selling this or exclusive on sale @ the iTunes store?

Quick question im running an optical audio cable out of a smart tv into my old reciever that doesn’t support atmos; should i hook up the Apple tv to reciever instead or run it out of the app on smart tv? Thank you for any information
