    Planning to get the new Apple TV. My only concern though is I only have the Pldt 999 3mbps as my Internet connection. Will that be enough?

    I switched to Getflix over the weekend as well. Works flawlessly with configuration on my router.

    I noticed though that loading of hulu ads is taking longer than usual resulting in a longer waiting time with a black screen. Not sure if this is because of Getflix, Hulu, or my internet connection. I am on 15 mpbs from Globe.

    That's strange Apple is only selling 2 variants of the new the  TV. The 32GB and 64GB variant. Both should have the Siri remote. The optional accessory is the remote loop.

    It should come with a Siri remote, but will it work is the question that still needs answers.
    I can't recall which website that I read regarding that but it says, if i'm not mistaken, that Siri remote in the new ATV won't work all over the world - only for a few countries (at first). You can still use it as a bluetooth remote and its touch-capabilities, but not the voice control/command feature.

    ^no remote is a dealbreaker...i would've thought regardless of whether it worked or not in some countries, the package would be complete...

    this i thought would have been a good time to replace an old atv with the new, siri-enabled one...

    New Apple TV Review: Loads of Potential—and Lots of Bugs

    https://www.yahoo.com/tech/new-apple-tv-has-loads-1288113545257014.html

    The Apple TV will finally become available later this week, for $150 or $200 (for 32 or 64 gigabytes of app storage, respectively). That’s much pricier than similar devices like the Amazon’s $100 Fire TV, the $130 Roku, and Google’s $35 Chromecast. And some of those boxes can play 4K, ultra-high-definition video from Amazon and Netflix, which the “future of TV” box, weirdly, cannot.

    Yes. Remote still comes with the microphone button but it will just give you a spotlight search. Siri is turned off. Tried changing the location to US. No luck. Siri is still turned off.

    Sir can you share a mini review? Is it true that..only 200mb are allowed for Apps download? I find it a deal breaker.

    Can anybody describe how the new tvOS Plex app works? Can I use it for streaming videos from my Synology Video station?

    I've only downloaded a few games so far. Currently playing Crossy Road. The GUI is slightly better than the previous Apple TV. Haven't really had time playing with it.
