    Apple TV Recognizes Pilot's Alphabet

    This may be old news, but I just discovered the other day that you can use the pilot's alphabet when dictating text to the Apple TV. While the device has been pretty good at hearing letter names in the past for me, it's recognition of the pilot alphabet was spot on the first time I used it...

    Just went through the movies selection by pressing the TV button in my remote. Once there I checked out the captain Marvel movie and after scrolling down past “related movies” I found the iTunes extras preview for this movie. But there was an orange tabby and some odd looking buttons on the left...

    Apple TV Media Organization

    In iTunes, selecting "Keep Media folder organized" would reorganize all TV shows based on [Show] -> [Season] -> then store the episodes in there. In the new Apple TV app, they seem to have completely reorganized my library to eliminate [Season] folders, so now it's just [Show] -> episodes. This...

    Future of Home Sharing (iTunes & Apple TV)

    Apps New TV App No Longer Shows Free Content

    Has anyone else noticed that the new TV app no longer prefers surfacing free content that you've already subscribed to? Previously, when browsing movies in the TV app it would only show me content from sources I subscribe to, HBO, HULU, Showtime, some TV channels, etc. This was true of the first...

    Apps Is a Dedicated Apple TV box still required?

    ...if you buy a new smart TV? I'm about to purchase a 4k 65" Visio TV. It looks amazing! :) My initial research indicated that I will no longer need a dedicated Roku box, because my impression is that every channel that it carries is available on the TV's hub that I am purchasing, most...

I'm trying to add the TV show Elementary back to the Up Next section of the TV app. I've already watched all the seasons available and am wanting to watch a season over again, but it won't update in Up Next with the next episode to watch from Hulu...

    Screen Mirroring black screen

    Hi all, iPhone 7 iOS 12.2 / Apple TV tvOS 12.2. When I enable Screen Mirroring the TV goes to a black screen. Rebooting the Apple TV does not resolve the issue, but rebooting the iPhone does. I haven't found anyone recently reporting this issue in my searches. Using the older troubleshooting...

    Apple TV Remotes No Longer Work as of 4/2

    My wife and I noticed that our Apple TV remote was no longer working this morning. We tried charging it, but it didn't help, and the Apple TV didn't report that it was charging (on screen). We didn't think much of it, but figured a hardware issue must've come up with it. A few hours later, we...

    Theory: HomePod Will Replace AppleTV

    I’m going to make a bold prediction: The Apple TV as we know it will disappear. When Apple announces its new TV service on Monday, it will be called TV. Apple began working towards this a few years ago when the TV app was launched. Not only did it take a prominent role in tvOS as the place...

    I am in charge of our family plan. I am also in charge of the HomeKit set up in our house. My HomeKit access is shared with the members of my family who each have their own Apple devices and live with me. Each one of them have their own Apple TV’s in their rooms and are logged in with there...

    Apple Sports

    I think Apple should start selling Sports as a service. They should start by acquiring DAZN. This would bolster their TV app and streaming services. For a good price people would jump in. Not only that but if they could score some exclusives than it would promote their platform even more...

    HomeKit HomePod + Apple TV + HomeKit

    I'm setting up a HomePod, new user, with an Apple TV and eventually will include HomeKit for lights, fans, etc.. I'm already stuck on the first question on the Home app. Do I want the Apple TV or HomePod to be the center of my home? I have an iPhone and iPad too, if that makes a difference.
