    I spilled orange juice...

    I just spilled juice on the 4th Gen Apple TV and now the touch pad is a bit jerky and some of the buttons are sticky. Im look at cheaper replacements. Will the 3rd Gen remote work? Do you guys know of other brands that will work good with Apple TV? Thanks!

    "Watch random 'Big Bang theory' episode" - Siri command?

    I'm thinking of buying an Apple TV 4. Either a reason not to- or an argument to actually buy the ATV4 would be Siri. But I was really wondering if Siri is capable of letting you view a random episode of a specific show by command? I've got a few seasons of The Big Bang Theory on my local NAS and...

    Apple TV with Sling TV

    Just received my Apple TV via the Sling TV promotion (only $89!!!). Set up the TV last night, and it was actually an easier setup than I thought it would be. Not sure why the Sling TV app was only rated 3 stars in the App Store, it worked perfectly for us. We subscribed to Sling to save some...

    Disable Ipv6 on the 4th gen Apple TV.

    I googled until I nearly went crazy. I currently use the HE.net Ipv6 tunnel which Netflix now geoblocks. I understand that. I want to simply disable Ipv6 on my Apple TV through my router running shibby tomato. With my IPv4 only devices like the Roku, Fire TV and PS4 I have no issues watching...

    The great but mysterious Apple TV campaign

    First, this has to be one of Apple’s greatest ads in recent history, and let me express my disappointment that this Apple TV campaign hasn’t been more pervasive in the advertising scene. If there are any ads I want in front of my face, it's this one. But second, what is the music used in the...

    When will Apple release a real Apple Television?

    Dear Apple Oh, I am so ever waiting patiently for this and was just reminded how good it could be today. I'm just watching some live streaming TV news on my iMac and the experience is that much better than watching it on my regular TV. That neat rounded chunky black bezel makes colors pop...

    Resolved Airplay with headphones?

    Is it possible to watch something on my Apple TV (from my computer) with Airplay and still have the sound come out of the headphones attached to my computer? If it can be done, how do I do this? I know it's a weird thing to want to do but I have my reasons. Edit: to make it clearer I just want...

    AppleTV 4th Gen does H.265 very well

    I had a crazy idea to try an HEVC file on my Apple TV. I ripped a blu-ray I had to a 2gb, 1080p HEVC MKV with 5 channel AAC audio and sent it over to the VLC storage on the Apple TV. Low and behold, VLC played it with almost no error. There was one scene of a newsreel with a huge amount of...

    I know a lot of users on here are advanced users of HomeKit and don't need a tutorial on this but I figured for anyone that is new to HomeKit and doesn't know the particulars around remote access this might be helpful. let me know if there are any other questions.

    Apple TV computer streaming speed

    I have a 2nd Gen Apple TV, 2013 Macbook Pro and 2013 iMac. Streaming movies to ATV from my iTunes library is very quick from MacBook Pro when movies are imported to the internal SSD. I am intending to rip my entire collection onto an external HDD connected to the iMac via usb 3.0, index them...

    7.1 Surround

    Now that the TV, IOS, and Mac OS X support 7.1 Surround, is there list of movies (either you know of off the top of you head, or other wise posted on the web) that support 7.1 on iTunes? or does iTunes even support 7.1? I have looked at the movies I already own, and some I want to get in the...

    Apps MLB.TV - 2nd generation Apple TV

    Does the MLB.TV app still work on the 2nd generation Apple TV? I’m also curious about the blackouts. A while ago, I read that the FCC eliminated the blackout rules. However, it seems like MLB.TV is still functioning with the now-defunct blackout rules. Can this be avoided by going with the...

    Night Shift on Apple TV - Would you use it?

    Night shift (or Flux as I habitually call it) is nice to have in the hours before bed. Since the new arrival to iOS (finally) it appears to have a warm welcome from users. My personal setup includes a TV in my room and my laptop is plugged in so the TV is my monitor (and I'm sure many people...

    ATV4 UI: Folder names in tvOS 9.2 not always displayed

    I am not sure if this is intended or whether it only affects my setup. I will assume the former. Since installing tvOS 9.2, I have created quite a number of folders to make navigation and location of apps that I have forgotten the name of that much easier... well, that was the plan anyway. The...

    Apple TV 4 wireless connection drops

    Since having the ATV4 and updating it to the first ATV4 update I've noticed wireless connection issues. The ATV will forget the network connection but when I go into the Network Connections no wireless APs show up. It's a really weird issue and I figured it would be fixed after updating to the...

    It all started yesterday March 24th. I tried to watch my show on the History Channel app, but I got this message: 'This app is currently unavailable'. Then I tried other apps like A&E and Lifetime.. same result. What's going on? Have all the root urls changed yet the apps are still not updated?!
