Why should I not leave Dolby Vision on all the time? in c/apple@hardware.watch

Haha. Every range of opinions on the subject. It looks great on my LG OLED. It does give black screen briefly switching to commercials in some streaming shows.

8K cable causing problems? (alien.top)
 

I have been using my AppleTV 4K just fine with my 48” LG OLED and set to Dolby Vision. Everything was fine until I decided to run all my cables through the wall. I bought new 8K cables. And now I’m having so many problems unless I set the AppleTV to 1080 SDR. I get the black screen and the stream pauses. I have tried changing so many settings and combinations on the TV and the AppleTV. I’ve changed inputs on the TV.

I hate having to thread the old cable through the wall, but I guess that’s my next step.

Could the 8K cable be causing the problem?

I like the controls better. The ten second rewind and ffw are easier to use than the TV’s apps. In fact I haven’t figured it out yet on the TV apps. I used to love the integrated Up Next, but Netflix doesn’t participate and other services like MAX stopped working.

As an early adopter of TiVo I really liked their interface and features. I haven’t had it for many years, but just ordered their Stream 4k device. It promises to give that integration. I’m tired of keeping a list of shows and what service they are on.
