Really? You serious?

PC is a no. Using the one it came with. HDMI is standard Apple. I'd be curious if any of these things matter with an Apple TV. If you were talking an Oppo, then I would not have answered with such surprise.

Running two Apple TVs, both using Amazon Basics HDMI cable and the power cord they came with.

We have a couple of Apple TV's in each home; they are all using stock cords. Now if I ever watched them, who knows what I might do...

I've switched my Apple TV for a Mac Mini. I'm using a Wireworld PC and an above standard, but not crazy, HDMI.

Does it change something ? TBH I never tested and just did it.

For the Apple TV gen1 (the big alu box with the HDD), some have had a lot of success switching to a linear PSU. I'm planning to do the same for the mini in the fuure.

i first used a VHD the ultimate HDMI cable - big change in both sound and picture ..... I've recently moved to crystal cables HDMI as its more flexible and less unsightly - noticed a very small increase in both sound and picture .

I have heard great things about crystal

yes, crystal was a slight improvement over the VDH, and infinitely easier to handle ....... but not as great as when i switched to VDH in the first instance
