    Siri Remote no longer working properly

    I did find a similar thread on here, but none of the solutions worked and I didn't want to raise it from the dead. My Siri remote no longer works. I'm not certain what version of Apple TV I have, but it's at least 2 years old now. The buttons still work just fine, but using even a simple...

    Youtube casting on ATV is now flawless.

    Youtube casting was buggy when it debuted in the updated YouTube app a few months ago. Now it has been perfected. Casting is instant and so is fast forwarding or skipping. To my surprise on the Apple TV it's a lot faster than Airplay. Neither do the video stop if I close the YouTube app on my...

    I have a Mac Mini with all of my ripped CD’s connected via Home Sharing to my ATV3. I can find this music under “Computers->Music.” I have also purchased many songs from iTunes and those songs and albums are listed under “Music->Purchased.” Is there a way to find all my music under one header?

    I have seen it first on Xcode and then I downloaded a free app (Disc Space?) from the App Store. I have a dozen apps installed and 20GB are already gone? I understand the OS can take quite some space, but isn't it a bit too much? Is it possible that it's due to the many log files? I always...

    Is my 4K apple TV a dud?

    Hi My Apple TV 4K (64GB) arrived on December 16th. The set-up was easy and I was impressed with the new interface etc. A few days later I noticed some flickering on the left side of the screen whilst the screensaver was playing. At the time I thought it might be a corrupt stream and put the...
