Apple TV 4K review (2021): Finally, a Siri remote I don't hate
Apple’s new Apple TV 4K isn’t a huge upgrade internally, but it finally comes with a decent Siri Remote.

Fox Sports will stream ALCS games in 4K HDR for the first time
Want to watch the American League Championship Series in the best possible quality? You'll need to stream it.
