Comment on The Google TV Streamer might be the Apple TV 4K rival we’ve been waiting for - The Verge
BorgDrone@lemmy.one 3 months agoI have the 2018 pro. The problem with lack of bitstreaming is that no matter what you adjust, you won’t get 3D audio (i.e. height speakers) out of the LPCM streams. You can do DD+Atmos on streaming services but you miss out on TrueHD+Atmos and DTS:X on bluray backups. That’s not something I want to give up.

Yeah, its very strange Apple didn’t value this. Unless you are exclusively viewing that kind of content, I’d almost consider running an appletv for everything else maybe if you find one on sale - I don’t miss the shield headaches (I do miss the light up remote a little though)
