    In what way is the ATV better than to use the SmartTV apps for browsing the internet or doing internet stuff on your TV? And what stuff is that? What exactly can AppleTV do?

    Screen mirroring is a misnomer.

    Screen mirroring is a lie. Are there any apps that allow real screen mirroring? By which I mean that no matter what is on your phone it will be mirrored along with sound to your tv. This is not what “screen mirroring” does either with Apple TV or Samsung smart TV’s. Yes it will mirror your home...

    Apple TV Age Certificates On Movies Behaving Oddly

    So I’ve been rebuilding my library due to a whole bunch of server issues and everything has been fine apart from the transition to the new ‘Music’ and ‘TV’ apps. I happened to quite like iTunes for all its quirks. Restarting Home Sharing ended up being a major headache. Any way. Last week I...

    Better Integrated Family Sharing, Please

    My family uses my Apple account to access our purchased movie library. My wife has titles that she purchased years ago on her account. While we can access them from my account (TV > Library > Family Sharing > [Wife's Name] > Movies), the process is a little convoluted. It would be convenient to...

    TV App on Mac Always Forgets I have paid to watch shows

    Under Catalina on my iMac Pro, I am now forced to use the new TV app (iTunes was SO much better...!). It is an absolute PITA. I bought several TV seasons and Movies. Yes, I paid full Apple price and downloaded them. Until just last month, my internet here in the Hinterlands was way too slow...

    So this causes me such a headache, I actually upgraded myself from lurker to registered user here...

    Apple TV Channels Issue

    I’m currently having an issue with one of my 3 Apple TV 4K’s. Every time I go to watch CBS All Access live, my living room Apple TV won’t tune in. I have to reset the Apple TV App in order for it to work, but this doesn’t happen on either of the other Apple TV’s! Both of the other TV’s work fine...

    HomePod HomePod can’t understand the word “the” in requests

    I’ve been troubleshooting this for weeks and am getting nowhere. Recently my HomePod has started saying “I’m sorry I can’t find anything like that this time” when I ask it to turn off “the table lamp” (or any of my other hue bulbs around the house). Previously Siri understood this no problem. I...
