$50 promo price, it’s worth a shot
I primarily would love to have a TiVo remote with Channels. Best of both worlds
I agree. Being moved from Tivo to Channels DVR i will wait for a day to use Tivo remote to access all getchannel's Live and Recorded content and future integration either directly or through a hack.
I ordered one to try. From what I’ve read, all apps available on Android TV will be available on Tivo Stream 4K. If that’s true, then you should be able to load channels up and use the TiVo remote.
It’s expected to arrive on Sunday. I’ll give a full review.
I ordered one too. Mine hasn’t shipped yet
Mine comes Saturday. Hope it works. Having a remote with numbers would be a great benefit for Channels use.
If you have an AppleTV as the Channels DVR Client, then you can program the AppleTV to use an old TiVo remote, if you have one available.
I don't believe the number buttons will work directly in streaming TV apps like you're thinking. They are there for inputting info into text boxes only, at least for now. They don't even work with the integrated SlingTV app yet. The channel up/down buttons do, so that is cool for channel surfing in that app.
You can direct input channels with number keys for TVE directly while viewing. There is about a 2 to 3 sec lag before the change but it does work. The local channels do not work with the buttons. I think because of the lack of the . and - buttons. Why they did not include those who knows. The original Tivo remote had these buttons. But so far so good. Only issue I can see so far is the progression time bar does not show while skipping forward or backward. You have to hit the up arrorw, then the down arrow to appear but after that I does not. This was explained in another forum from one of the developers.
Anyone know if the TiVo dongle supports Atmos on Netflix
Its does support all formats audio and video. I have mine connected to Vizio Dolby Atmos soundbar. You have to have the premium plan to get the experience for Dolby Atmos though. If you have Amazon Prime , some Ultra HD content is available without extra charge.
Thanks, I’ll order one. I know Roku and Fire tv don’t support Netflix Atmos
Are your devices 4K compatible or just HD. Your wrong about the Fire TV not supporting Netflix Dolby Atmos. But its the Fire TV 4K that's supported. Roku also but its has to be the Roku Ultra HD that supports Dolby Atmos. If your devices are pre-4K they will not support Dolby Atmos. The Tivo Stream so far I have now issues with the audio format on any app that supports it. You also have to set your sound device or TV audio setting to Bitstream not Dolby Digital
Atmos on Netflix is on limited devices. My Fire TV has Atmos on Disney+ and Amazon prime not Netflix.
With TV audio setting to bitstream, will i get Dolby Atmos on Apple TV 4k as well?
Bitstream setting is the setting that will trans code the audio for 7.1. Leaving it at Dolby Digital only outputs to 5.1
From Lifewire:
Thank you. I've Vizio P55-F1, apple tv 4k and sonos beam. Messed out setting at both places. Trying to get everything working.
Getting only Ultra HD 4K on most of netflix titles.
Since you have a Vizio, it will always output Ultra HD 4K even if the app your playing content with is only HD.
I don't know about your Sonos but my Vizio Soundbar shows a green indication when the audio is Dolby Atmos.
Yes.
According to Amazon, if the content on Netflix has Dolby Atmos the Fire TV will decode it.
