Pre-Owned Used Apple MP7P2LL/A TV 4K 64GB, Black (Used )

Was inexpensive and works great (just like a new one). This was my fourth AppleTV and I like them all.

I’m pretty impressed by how well this device works for being a refurb, I had not known that there was a touchpad in the remote, all I can say to the person who had trouble with theirs, go get a new remote, there was probably nothing wrong with the device itself. Or, get yourself an Apple keyboard and you can use that to navigate. Unfortunately, this ATV4K is not apple-refurbished (see image 1). If this were apple-refurbished, it would say “Apple certified refurbished“ on the outside of the box. This does not, it has some blue label so this was probably refurbished by a third-party. And because of this there is no protection via Apple, Apple extends their one year warranty to refurbished items, without that official Apple refurbished label, we do not have a vable warranty. If this were an official Apple refurbished item, the person who got the bad remote would have been able to get a brand new remote from any Apple Store, simply by showing them the receipt and/or the box. But because this was not refurbished through Apple itself, we don’t have that option. So it is always a risk buying third-party refurbished. However, the device is clean and it works properly and it passes all of the tests and it was also $60 cheaper then a brand new Apple TV 4k/64gig. I decided to take the chance and so far everything works great. The 4K signal plays back perfectly on my TV. Next step: jailbreaking this thing, but that’s a whole other can of worms requiring a Mac. I only purchased this so I could watch “The Expanse” in 4K UHD through my Amazon prime membership, and I am doing that right now and it looks fantastic. Before this, I had an Apple TV 3 which I had installed Plexconnect onto, all you need to do is install a certificate and it allows you to use the trailers app to stream from your Plex server. But you had to keep the firmware of the ATV3 at tvOS 7.2, which is extremely primitive compared to tvOS 12.3 which came with this. Setting this up was just like setting up an iPhone in complexity, but I had no problems following each of the steps and it automatically connected to both of my iCloud accounts. And I was able to connect my Apple keyboard as well as the remote. Not to mention it automatically connected to my iPhone so I can control through that as well. The only disappointment I have is that I was assuming that the volume control would work, but it does not. I’m not sure how to get the volume control to work, but if you are hooked up to your TV through the HDMI 4K cable, then the volume is controlled by wherever you are sending the audio output of the TV to, in my case to my 5.1 Kenwood system. So I have to use the main volume control on my Kenwood remote, and the volume control on the Apple TV remote is basically useless- unless I am missing something, I will go through the settings again later but I’m pretty sure I set everything up properly.
