The Apple TV is one of the only boxes I haven't got!
What's its achiles heal?
No HD Audio bitstreaming (5.1/7.1 48kHz DTS HD MA/Dolby True HD/FLAC content will be decoded losslessly to PCM 5.1/7.1, but no metadata is passed through) However Blu-ray rips with Dolby True HD with Atmos or DTS:X are unsupported AIUI. The recent Dolby Atmos update for ATV4K was for the lossy streaming version AIUI.
You can't run Kodi, easily, on the ATV4K, only MrMC which is a fork with modifications to make it Apple App Store friendly (removing Python-based add-on support was the main change ISTR), or Infuse player. (You can side load Kodi - but it's a non-trivial process)
The upside - which is significant - is that it supports Netflix and Amazon Prime in UHD HDR with SDR/HDR switching and frame rate switching, and there are lots of well designed TV viewing apps (iPlayer, NRK, DR, SVT, C More, Viaplay in Europe to name a few) The integrated voice search is pretty effective too.
