If you mostly watch content from the sources it supports, then the TV app can act as a hub for all your video needs. The TV app integrates with providers including Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, HBO and more. If you are a big user of the TV app, then this may be what you want. Wherever you are, you can press the TV button to go back to the TV app. Speaking of the TV app, the default configuration of the Apple TV operating system means that pressing the physical TV button on the Siri Remote opens the TV app. You can then tap to toggle the ‘Home Screen’ setting change it from ‘What to Watch’ to ‘Up Next’. To change the TV app to show your Up Next queue, open Settings, select ‘Apps’, then ‘TV’. The TV app defaults to showing its own curated set of things to watch, not based on your preferences. As of tvOS 13, this is unfortunately not the default behavior. You can put your Up Next queue (which tracks progress of the shows and movies you are watching from Apple and many third party sources) in the Top Shelf, making it always available at a glance. One app that I recommend putting in the Top Shelf is the TV app. Apps that do not support the Top Shelf will merely display a static image for their preview. In general, you should put icons in the top row for apps that take advantage of the Top Shelf.
Unlike the iPhone or iPad, this means that the placement of your icons has an effect on the behavior of the home screen. Music will show trailers, Photos will show memories from your library, and third party apps like Plex support it as well. Whatever apps you put in the first row can display content above, like interactive previews of the available content inside. The top row of the Apple TV Home Screen is called the Top Shelf. Put the Up Next queue directly on your Apple TV Home Screen Assuming your TV set is relatively recent however, the best recommendation is to set the Apple TV to 4K SDR with dynamic matching. If this is the case, then disabling automatic matching and leaving the Apple TV on the permanent 4K HDR mode may be preferred. You may see a visible ‘switch’ from the TV itself.įor some older TVs, this format switching can be intensive and takes a long time such that it is an annoyance. When you finish watching the video, it returns to 4K SDR. However, when it encounters high dynamic range video content, it will switch into the appropriate 4K HDR mode. With these options enabled, the Apple TV will spend most of its time outputting in a 4K SDR format. Then, enable ‘Dynamic range matching’ and ‘Frame rate matching’. However, this means all content is rendered by the Apple TV in HDR, even the content that isn’t available in high-dynamic range including things like most application interfaces.įor the best video experience across the system, change the video output format to 4K SDR. On the surface, this seems like the best quality option. If you have an Apple TV 4K, the video output format may be set to 4K HDR by default. Go into the Settings app, select ‘Video and Audio’. You will want to calibrate the TV itself, but the Apple TV also has its own settings, that you will probably need to customise to get the best experience.
