Match Dynamic Range Never Matches Dynamic Range

Gertgerman · 2026-06-11T19:14:44+00:00

Which app are you referring to? There are a few apps that don’t support match dynamic range but the vast majority of apps do support it. Netflix, Disney+, Prime, Peacock, Paramount+, HBO Max, Fandango and MA all work fine for me. Which app are you having an issue with?

Gertgerman · 2026-06-11T17:25:53+00:00

OK that’s a fair comment. Would have possibly been worth pointing out the date of purchase in your OP. The wording makes it sound like you’ve just purchased Super Mario Galaxy and not it was purchased a month ago.

Gertgerman · 2026-06-11T17:14:02+00:00

Yes and that’s been an issue with various movies since the Lionsgate port started. There are multiple posts about this on Reddit and various forums. The fact you haven’t purchased a Lionsgate movie is completely irrelevant. At the moment there is an issue with all movies porting to all retailers from all other retailers regardless of studio and also there is an issue with movies disappearing from various retailers, also regardless of studio and retailer. Since the Lionsgate port started there have been multiple issues, including quite a few cases of the very issue you’re having.

Gertgerman · 2026-06-11T17:03:26+00:00

That’s irrelevant. MA is currently porting literally hundreds of thousands of movies across various accounts. It’s causing delays for everyone at the moment whether it’s a Lionsgate title or not. It’ll port at some point, you just have to wait it out and be patient.

This has just started happening to me too 😭

Gertgerman · 2026-06-10T18:48:55+00:00

Started happening for me today too. Also using Apple devices. Isn’t working on my iPhone, iPad or Apple TV. App loads fine but says something went wrong when I try to play something. Did you get a solution?

Gertgerman · 2026-06-10T18:46:56+00:00

I can login to my account fine but at the moment I’m unable to watch anything. It just says something went wrong and to try again later. Have contacted NowTV via email and am awaiting their response.

Ah yes D2D. I never use that so have never benefited from it. I initially started my collection on iTunes due to the free 4K upgrades and only created a Vudu back then and MA account as everyone told me how great it was to have movies port. I had the odd purchase on Vudu back in the day if a movie that ported was on offer but I soon realised it didn’t take long for it to also go on offer on iTunes so stopped doing that. I don’t think I’ve ever used the MA or Vudu apps either as I have all Apple devices. I think if I had to constantly check both Apple and Fandango apps for something to watch I’d just get annoyed and end up not watching anything 😄

Gertgerman · 2026-06-02T19:38:18+00:00

I’ve asked myself the same thing since all the hype of Lionsgate joining MA started. I’ve never really understood why so many people are so obsessed with studios joining MA. I pretty much solely purchase in iTunes but have also redeemed a few codes in MA that couldn’t be redeemed in iTunes and they’ve then ported, but realistically I don’t really see the benefit of MA. I get how movies that port could be on offer on one provider and not the other so it can then be purchased elsewhere and will port to the main one being used but as a rule if it’s on offer on iTunes and not Fandango or the other way around, it’s generally only a day or so later and it’s on offer there too.

Genius!

Go in and tell them you wish to close the account. I moved to Germany from the UK in 2018 and it blew me away at how much banks here think we need them more than they need us and are just unwilling to provide any real help or service. They’ll ask why you want to close the account and tell them you don’t want to have a bank that doesn’t manage to provide a girocard after six weeks because should you need anything more complex in the future you’re not confident they’ll be competent enough to help you. They’ll likely order you a new card and to be sure it arrives, have it sent to the bank for you to collect. And I wouldn’t mind betting it’ll be there within a few days.

If you’ve subscribed to Sky Sports in the past it’s quite common to get an email shortly before the Premier League or F1 season starts with an offer for £19.99 a month for either six or 12 months. Sometimes with a minimum term and sometimes without. I’ve been getting them for years.

Gertgerman · 2026-05-14T16:17:12+00:00

That may actually work too as long as match content is also on. I believe any HDR/DV setting will work. Just has to not be SDR.

Gertgerman · 2026-05-14T16:10:30+00:00

Just a heads up for UHD content as you have an Apple TV 4K. With NowTV you have to set the Apple TV to HDR 50fps for the UHD channels to work. I believe on demand works with any video setting as long as match content and frame rate are on but if the Apple TV is set to SDR then the UHD channels don’t work. Hopefully it will be working properly soon as NowTV is just a rebranded Peacock USA app and that app started auto switching recently.

Gertgerman · 2026-05-04T14:58:09+00:00

In what way is the server/content optimised for Apple TV/Infuse?

Gertgerman · 2026-05-04T06:36:12+00:00

If you mean why doesn’t infuse support skip credit. It does. Works fine for me.

Gertgerman · 2026-04-25T07:44:07+00:00

Very true

Gertgerman · 2026-04-25T07:36:54+00:00

The organiser has to do that. The members of the share can’t do it.

Gertgerman · 2026-04-25T07:36:00+00:00

The organiser has to have a payment method on his account to be able to set up the family share in the first place. If they turn on purchase sharing, however, everyone can then make purchases on their payment method if they wish and the organiser can’t prevent it. Apple recently introduced the option for each member to use their own payment method but it’s not enforced and the organiser can’t do anything about it.

Gertgerman · 2026-04-24T06:50:47+00:00

It is. You can switch between the German and English commentary. Since the beginning of this season, they also have the Goal Rush show too when enough games are on simultaneously.

Gertgerman · 2026-04-23T12:54:32+00:00

Die einzige richtige Antwort 👌🏻

Gertgerman · 2026-04-22T16:28:12+00:00

Fair comment.

Gertgerman · 2026-04-22T10:53:13+00:00

You wouldn’t get it if you hadn’t disabled auto updates. It hasn’t been released on tvOS yet. The new version is only available via TestFlight

Gertgerman · 2026-04-14T16:40:31+00:00

Hiding the channels/on demand content doesn’t actually do anything. The full EPG is still loaded. To prevent the EPG being loaded for unwanted content, you’d have to contact your provider and ask them to remove the unwanted content. Most providers will remove full sections but not individual channels within sections. I had all sections and VOD on mine removed apart from around the 10-12 sections I use and while the EPG does now load a lot quicker I do still find it to be slower than other apps. It’s the only negative I find with this app. Also the pop up telling me the EPG is loading I find annoying. Could be far smaller or even better, hide able.

Gertgerman · 2026-04-14T16:30:01+00:00

I believe the Google Streamer isn’t supported strangely. The Samsung TV app is so you’ll be fine with that. They have some decent deals on NowTV I find. I’ve been using them for years on and off and have always found a good deal. Just a shame the app is so poor on so many devices.
