don't get it. Broadcast TV doesn't broadcast in HDR so that does not work with any device. Nothing to do with Apple TV
Fox has 4k hdr games. ESPN has 4k hdr streams.
There are even more when you get into soccer.
It has everything to do with apple tv. I own the device. It is my favorite but it isn't for everyone. It has issues like they all do.
You should get educated on the subject and checkout a fox 4k college football game. It looks great even though it is only upscaled 1080p. ESPN is true 4k.

Wanted to follow up on this discussion.
Like I said, I have an Apple TV4k, Sony STR-DN1080 receiver, and Sony A80J 77" OLED TV.
I use Youtube TV, and a variety of other streaming apps.
Here's what I've found:
As, notsince98, has pointed out, there are problems with Dolby Vision, and the ATV4k. Initially, I thought I was running at the best settings for my setup. No, not even close. Even running through ARC and with what I thought were good HDMI cables, it was some rather low settings.
I'll spare you the details.
I bought new cables, went through the variety of settings in the receiver, TV, and ATV4k and tried to get the best visuals I could.
Needless to say, it doesn't work as it should. From the obfuscated menus and settings, to the intermittent handshaking that the ATV4k does, it is a disappointing process with middling results. Sure, something like Dolby Vision, can look great for a time, but it isn't perfect.
In the end, I wound up resetting the ATV4k's video settings and just running 4k SDR. It looks fine, but it's not the "best."
