    Is the Apple TV really worth it?

    Hi everyone! I currently own a Apple TV 4K. Works fine and all. But I’m also trying to clear out some cables, and wondering since my TV can access streaming apps on its own, I’m wondering if it’s worth keeping my Apple TV. I don’t play games on it. I do access my purchased content from Apple...

    Country changing on the Apple TV box

    Hey y'all, So I moved to Germany and have a ton of American regional movies on my Apple TV. My girlfriend is German and I was hoping if I change the region to Germany, it will change the languages of the movies on my list to include a German dubbed version? An amazing bonus would be if it had...

    Hi All, Does anyone know of a way to factory reset these things without a network connection or using a remote? I have some Apple TV 4K HDR units that are managed by JAMF Pro. They are locked in to conference mode, which prevents users from using the ATV remote to do anything other than wake...

    Mirroring Apple TV TO an iPad

    I use an AppleTV and stereo Homepods for listening to music. I don’t need a TV screen on all the time for this and prefer to turn the TV off. I am not particularly impressed with Homepod Siri selecting music and so currently must turn the TV back on to select my music. It would be much better if...

    HomeKit Too few continuous video streams on Robin ProLine Doorbell

    Hi all, I've been using a Robin ProLine Doorbell for almost 1 year now. It allows me to see a live video from my doorbell and start a live conversation with a visitor, right from the Apple Home app. Prior to the launch of Logitech Circle View Doorbell, it was the only doorbell officially...

    Airplay audio doesnt work, but display mirroring does?

    I use Airplay to stream music to my appletv, but often enough audio cuts out completely and in the worst times, trying to airplay audio gets "cannot connect to AppleTV" error messages. Rebooting devices doesn't help. At the same time, display sharing to AppleTV via AirPlay (which also sets audio...

    New Apple TV Remote Mute Button…

    Who asked for this stupid mute button… and right in the same place where you’ve been trained to press play/pause all these years… so annoying… if I wanted the sound to stop I’d hit pause… I can think of far more useful buttons if they were gonna add stuff….

    Show Me on Apple TV Settings

    My profile under Home settings of the Home app: In the ”Show Me on Apple TV” settings, show me is disabled for my Apple TV even though I am signed in as the primary and only account. Given that, should this not be automatically enabled? Is this a bug?

    Apple TV + HomePod Mini Stereo Pair - one one speaker working

    Maybe it’s just buggy but I’ve spent some frustrating time on it and have come up with nothing. First, I updated everything to xOS 15. I then paired my HomePod minis and AirPlay works fine to listen to music from my Mac, iPad, and iPhone. They all work great. Apple TV works great, too, when I...

    Is GPU acceleration possible on the original Apple TV?

    I know that the first generation Apple TV runs a modified version of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, and it’s possible to get regular Tiger and even Leopard running as well. However, those versions run like crap due to a lack of graphics acceleration via the built-in Nvidia GeForce Go 7300 GPU. I think...

    Im thinking about switching from firetv stick to Apple TV 3rd generation (since that’s the only one I can afford). So I just want to know does this Apple TV Device have a watch history or recently watched row? (Like firetv) and does it have a Bluetooth option to connect my Bluetooth headphones?
