    Apple TV app availability

    Does anyone know if the Apple TV App will ever be available like... worldwide? Because where I am right now it doesn't seem to exist. I've searched the App Store on the Apple TV and iPhone and there's no sign of the TV app. I even changed my location to United States and still no TV App.

    Apple TV 4th Generation video quality

    I purchased an Apple TV 4th Generation for a Samsung HD TV (720p) I have in my bedroom. Yesterday I watched the first movie on it ("mother!") which I rented from iTunes movies. I really was expecting a better quality resolution at least like the one I get on my cable TV provider's HD channels...

    Apps (Amazon Prime Video) Can Someone Help Me Figure Out Where the Problem Lies

    I am having a strange problem with Amazon Prime Video. I just don’t know where to look to start diagnosing/repairing. Simply, the APV app just stopped working in various ways on my Apple TVs and on iOS apps, but only over WiFi. If I load the APV app on my cell, it works fine. But on WiFi...

    Airplay Mirroring and Battery Consumption

    Hi, I’ve been using for some time and app called “AirBeamTV (Mirror for Samsung TV)” to wirelessly mirror my rMBP 2015 to my Samsung Smart TV via wifi. I noted that the battery drains pretty quickly. I use it to mirror the rMBP while streaming videos. The battery can easily drop around 20% in...

    Hi everyone, I was contemplating buying a refurbished Apple TV from the Apple Store and was wondering if it's better than getting it for the full £149? It's currently £119 so £30 saving but i wanted to know if it's durable as I wouldn't want it to break after a year once the warranty runs out...

    So let’s talk about Airplay 2...

    So Airplay 2 is AWOL for now, meaning I’m unable to multi-stream music from my swanky new iPhone X to my swanky new soundbar-equipped Apple TVs all at once. HOWEVER... I can, for some bizarre reason, play music on multiple devices from iTunes on my Mac. How exactly does that work? I thought...

    iPhone iOS 11 Removed Ability to Toggle Airplay from Control Center

    So, this has been really annoying me since upgrading to iOS 11. Prior to the new software release (iOS 10), control center had the airplay icon, which allowed the user to connect/disconnect from airplay streaming. Now with iOS 11, let’s say I’m in a 3rd party app like YouTube and I use the apps...
