EETV picutre quality better on Apple tv

[Todd1234]

Does anyone know if the picture quality is better throught EETV box pro or via the Apple tv i currently have the box pro but struggling to see a good quality on sky sports and normal HD programs so trying find a resolution to it

I have both. With HD content, all other things being equal, I’d expect similar PQ on the same shows, tho switching from one to the other on my OLED,I get a slight creamy tint from my Apple puck.

Above HD, the EE Pro 4k box supports high quality audio up to Dolby Atmos, but no HDR on the video side. The little Apple box does Dolby Vision *and* Atmos. Plus, and this is a major plus for me, I can use it to stream my Apple Music subscription in up to Spatial Audio. Old school hifi it might not be, but I like it.

Both connect over Ethernet then to our Fibre 900 so I’ve done as much as I can. Both link to our 7.1 system via high quality HDMI cables.

Suffice it to say I use the little Apple box more than the Pro, especially on Apple’s own content.

HTH.

@Minkey1   Have you calibrated the Apple TV with an iPhone.

I find it equal to, or superior, esp on Apple’s own content. There is that “tint” tho. Ultimately, the balance depends on the content, the TV, and your eyes.

I’ve always found the output from the EE TV Pro Box ‘soft’, so I set it at 1080p and let the TV (an LG OLED), do the upscaling, which gives me the best picture I can get out of it.

Changing to 1080p impacts some app viewing, but I don’t use the apps on the box apart from iPlayer occasionally, which still switches to HLG HDR for UHD content, even with the output set at 1080p.

Crucially, TNT Sport Ultimate in the TV Guide also still outputs UHD HDR as well.
