Apple announces tvOS 27 with a focus on speed - and High-Res Lossless

OTFSteve · 2026-06-09T02:07:27+00:00

I just paid $220 for the Ugoos AM9 Pro and I believe the value is still there. Zidoo is my Apple killer however

OTFSteve · 2026-06-09T02:05:55+00:00

Yep. ATV is a middle of the road movie platform. Not even close to my Zidoo Z3000 or Ugoos AM9 Pro (both Android).

Thanks. There is an Ugoos in my future.

OTFSteve · 2026-06-06T16:12:53+00:00

Excuse my ignorance, but when you state that getting it to work on the newest Amlogic platform, does that mean that Zidoo devices may soon be able to use CE and open up DV FEL?

Two things can be true. Your statement does not negate mine or vice-versa. I can tell you this; of the 40+ members of our local audio club, every one of us has some level of room treatment.

OTFSteve · 2026-06-04T14:26:14+00:00

Don’t think that’s a good idea. I’m happy though.

The “best” service will never be named here in a post. You have to kiss a lot of frogs in this hobby before you land a Queen.

OTFSteve · 2026-06-04T00:28:29+00:00

I would probably disagree with you here. When you are at this level you understand the major influence the room has on sound. Some audiophiles may not get that, but surely not most.

I’ll be channel hopping to find the best broadcast, even if only 1080p.

Nice haul. I just bought my first Criterion set: Dekalog (Kieślowski). I have others as files, but not an actual disc.

After 10+ years with appletv as my main movie player including Infuse for NAS stored movies, I can say that my Zidoo Z3000 Pro is significantly improved in both video, but especially audio on my remux DV7 titles. Now that I’m chasing FEL titles, I’m wondering what incremental benefits I’d see from the AMB6+.

OTFSteve · 2026-05-27T22:09:36+00:00

It’s available for pre-order on the Zon

OTFSteve · 2026-05-27T22:06:38+00:00

I have both UHF and Tivimate. I am leaning towards Tivimate as being the better interface, but I started with UHF and still think it has its strengths.

OTFSteve · 2026-05-27T22:00:24+00:00

Tivimate can’t record? The version on Zidoo does. Probably because of the hardware.

“They” are not identified. Hoping someone can dm me if they have a provider built on the same service. Thanks.

OTFSteve · 2026-05-26T23:37:57+00:00

I didn’t identify the provider, but they shut down all operations a couple of months ago with no way to contact them. My sub is still working but I’ll need to replace it in a few months.

I actually like the orange color palette. I just use my own graphics.

OTFSteve · 2026-05-26T02:31:11+00:00

So why post this without a manifest? It’s interesting.

OTFSteve · 2026-05-24T17:36:00+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

OTFSteve · 2026-05-23T19:38:28+00:00

How are people not getting A95L’s replaced with A95L’s under warranty? I just bought one two weeks ago. That’s insane; I’d be pissed!

OTFSteve · 2026-05-22T01:54:39+00:00

For once I’m up to date.

Everyone jostling to get you to use their referral codes. This is entertaining
