The original "The Day The Earth Stood Still" (1951) looks and sounds pretty good for its age.
Correct aspect ratio and 5.1 sound.
£7.99

The firmware with match frame rate option and a few other changes now is available to download and you box may even automatically update to it.
Now watching CHiPs, the original TV series at 23hz (according to my amp).
Only had it a week.Yeah thanks for that. Have you just switched your Apple TV on for the first time this month?
Only had it a week.
The official version of 11.2 only seems to have been released yesterday.
The information was really just for anyone who had not installed a beta release version.
BTW, Home Alone is the daily special at £1.99 in 4K

Is your TV Dolby Vision compatible because I think that posterization is a result of the dv to hdr conversion on the atv, I haven't noticed 'terrible posterization' on my E6 playing the DV version of that filmI've been really pleased with the Apple TV on the whole, but Transformers in particular is much better on disc than the 4K Apple TV version. The ATV version has some terrible posterisation (bands) in the sky throughout the movie, which are not present on the disc. It's really noticeable in the desert scenes in the junkyard, where the disc is perfect. I guess it's just down to the difference in bitrate, and I won't be too bothered in many cases, but I'll still be buying UHD discs for most big releases.
No it isn’t a DV TV, and yes that does seem to be the cause that was discovered and discussed on another thread. I’ll just be buying ‘hdr’ flagged titles on Apple TV, and not DV titles, as a result.

Still think UHD was killed by Apple?What’s your thoughts?
Free box sets ?
Blimey no wander you like it.
Still hoping that the major new features that have been rumoured will include atmos
I’m kinda guessing he’s meaning the 4K upgrades rather than actual free box sets.
Which depending on how you look at it you could argue they’re free box sets compared to any other format in which if you’d already had the HD versions then you’d have to buy again to get them in 4K.
I have stopped disc completely and gone digital since ATV4K came out.
It’s far cheaper and accessible
So it may not have killed discs but it’s had an appreciable effect I would have thought
You're not the first person to post something similar, but it should be said that disc based media is in fact digital. The only real difference is the way in which the digital media is delivered. The media streamed to you over the internet will be of a lesser quality in order to reduce the bandwidth required to get it to you. THe same is true of the audio and it is unlikely that the streaming services will ever adopt HD formats because of the increased files sozes and bandwidth this would require. Even if Apple add the Atmos abilities and if the studios start including it with the films that they license to Apple, this will be via the inclusion of the Atmos metadata in association with Dolby Digital Plus audio and not HD TrueHD. Disc based media is digital and a higher bitrate. It also includes the ability to deliver higher quality digital audio.
Just as an aside, but also related, how much are most of you spending extra per month on internet due to all this streaming?
I pay £40 for 300GB per month, but any extra at high speed (necessary for 4K) costs me around £6 per 4K movie in internet costs alone...
So if I want to rewatch Dunkirk or Get Out on the Apple TV 4k after I've hit my limit I have to pay my ISP extra, whereas with discs this is no issue...
To be fair I only run into this problem once every two months or so and I'm sure it eill be less so once I have a player and get more discs...
