Apple TV (gen 4)
So I got the new Apple TV and connected it to my Denon receiver via HDMI and got everything working. Video is ok but audio sounds terrible. Nowhere in the neighborhood of TV sound quality from DirecTV DVR or OTA antenna going through same receiver. Music sounds much worse than iPhone via AirPlay or USB connected to same receiver. Anyone else have this issue (or a solution)? Considering a return if I can't figure out how to improve sound.

I've been rather disappointed with the new ATV; the remote is annoying, more often than not I'll rewind the show by merely picking it up. The app atmosphere is kinda cool, but Netflix isn't working as it should, no stopping of playback after the third episode. Also, what's with cutting the optical output jack?!

I do like getting YouTube and ESPN 3 on TV. Disappointed in 720p and sound quality from Netflix but guess I need to fiddle with it and / or my A/V receiver. Neither video not sound from ATV are up to par with DirecTV DVR or OTA antenna. I also haven't had success using AirPlay to send from iPad to ATV - my iPad froze and restarted but I only tried it once. I got my Harmony remote to control ATV - much easier than the remote that comes with the ATV. Of course, I'm a little disappointed in the Harmony remote too but for other reasons (multi-room control)...

I have the original Apple TV and two of the previous models. Works great, but don't see a reason to buy the new one. Word is they are working on a 5th one...
