There are some serious issues with MI TV apps. I also noticed multiple issues such as no sound passthrough, sluggish app etc.
Everything works super fine on Firestick. Am using MI TV as a big screen only.

Long press the center button of MI TV remote, and select HDMI 2.1 for the HDMI port through which Apple tv 4k is connected.

Please if you forum members can tag Mi on twitter and report these problems. A lot of our issues can be corrected.

Having finished the show a couple of days back, might be better to stop now. All the potential of the 1st 2 episodes were completely squandered by the end.

I am on Firestick, and its performing super so far with this TV. I have installed Kodi on Firestick and that too is working very well. Also, I am not using TV speakers, they are useless TBH.
Am not sure, if I will ever use the TV OS. May be only when Android TV 11 comes and that can be installed on this TV.
Firestick, though low on hardware specs is very robust IMO.

Are you using the 4k firestick. For audio, you have a dedicated HT setup or soundbar
Yes, I have 4K Firestick that is directly connected to one of the HDMI port of TV. And HDMI 2 of TV is connected to ARC compatible Yamaha 5.1 AVR. Have enabled HDMI to 2.1.
4K Firestick remote comes with volume control and that manages the AVR sound volume. AVR's power is toggled through ARC. TV's power control is managed through Firestick.
So, I am only using firestick remote to manage/control all equipments.
Moreover, I also have echo dot which I use to voice control firestick, AVR, ACs and other equipments in the lounge.
Just got the new shield pro 2019 (was using a loaner 2017 shield from a friend till now), and I absolutely love LOVE it!!
Everything just work seamlessly, no lag at all, the 2017 shield had microlag here and there. The new shield remote, which is built really well, has an IR emitter so it works with the AVR as well. power button on the shield turns on/off all three devices and shield input is automatically selected. The harmony 700 I just bought is useless now.
AI up scaling is decent, all my old hanna Barbera collection does look a little better. DD and DTS audio passthrough happening perfectly, barring the occasional need to reboot the tv cuz of shitty CEC implementation. DD TrueHD and DTS HD MA is not supported via ARC so that only happens if I plug in the shield directly to my aging AVR while loosing all HDR playback capability.
Also next to zero jank in plex (plex server on lan on a windows box while shield is on 802.11ac). Only time plex hangs sometimes is when rewinding aggressively.
I would highly recommend the 2019 shield pro if you have the budget, costs about 16k in the US right now. Prime sale starts tomorrow on Amazon US, so might get discounted further.

Are you passing through AVR or through TV?
Shield > TV (ARC) > AVR
Cool. Shield connected to HDMI 2?
No hdmi 1. hdmi 2 is arc, so that is connect to the avr. it can be connected to either hdmi 1 or 3

Does it mean than Mi QLED has good upscaling? I mean if the difference is less.
Shield has 3 upscaling options: AI enhanced, enhanced, and basic, each with low, medium and high setting. AI enhanced does the most amount of sharpening causing lot of artifacts which I didn't like. Enhanced option at medium setting does a decent job. The 720p and 576p content along NDTV app news feed does look better with the upscaling. How much better? that is very subjective and hard to quantify.
I don't think the tv has any special upscaling, it just streches the low res content to fit the screen. no comparison to the shield. Also MI wouldn't have missed marketing it if the tv had any kind of upscaling tech.
the above is just my initial subjective opinion after 1.5 hours of playing and testing with the shield.

I would also be keen to hear on how kodi works on this tv. I tried installing the kodi on my Airtel xstream box . The xstream box was too weak to handle kodi and everything was a bit slow. Hence uninstalled it. Haven't got time to install kodi on the tv though
Wharfedale Linton Heritage Speakers in Red Mahogany finish at a Special Offer Price. BUY now before the price increase.
