    All Devices ATV updates without beta?

    My ATV is not signed up for beta. None of my Apple products are. Yet my ATV has been updating and surprising me with changes I was unaware about. I went to the About and it says tvOS13. ??

    Apple TV No TV shows Available

    guys just downloaded the beta, opened up the new apple tv app but the only thing available in the store and in my library is movies? I click on tv shows and it only brings up movies? What am I doing wrong? Or is this a known issue?

    HomeKit PS4 and HomeKit Issues

    Does anyone else experience issues with HomeKit devices when downloading things via the PS4? For example, if I'm downloading a game or game updates, all of my Hue lighting becomes unresponsive through the Home app, but are perfectly fine through the Hue app. If I pause or cancel the downloads...

    Volume change problem with iPhone after 12.3

    I used to control Apple TV volume by pressing physical buttons on the side of iPhone with remote widget open up on its control panel. After recent update to iOS/tvOS 12.3, however, it no longer seems to work stable, but instead only works one time when the remote is connected to the TV, then...

    Upgrade from 2nd gen to the Apple TV 4K, worth it?

    Hi, I have an Apple TV 2nd gen. I use my PS4 to stream Netflix, Amazon Prime, BBC, etc... I've seen that when using AirPlay, (being the source an iPhone XS Max or MacBook Pro 2018), there is a little bit of a lag. Is it worth upgrading to a newer generation of Apple TV? I would consider the...

    AppleTV4k / tvOS 12.2 not incrementing episodes

    New minor annoyance I have observed since updating AppleTV4k to tvOS 12.2. Often (but not always) after a tv show from my computer (not from iTunes Store) completes, it does not increment to the next episode. So instead of just clicking the play button, I have to scroll through the episodes...

    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...

    HomePod 'Hmmm . . . I'm having trouble playing that'

    I use my HomePod as the speaker for my Apple TV. Works great. Then I turn my TV off and some time later I want to play music from my iTunes Cloud library. "Hey Siri play the Beatles." To which it replies, "'Hmmm . . . I'm having trouble playing that" The problem is the HP is still connected to...

    HomePod HomePod Suddenly Not Playing Through AppleTV??

    I may be late to the party on this issue, but I can't locate much by way of a solution. I'd been playing everything from my Apple TV (generation 3) to the Home Pod without incident until about three days ago where suddenly no sound comes through at all. I've restarted, reset, reloaded, etc...

    DD5.1 Vs Atmos DD5.1+ and Atmos TrueHD

    You might be surprised... I have really nice home audio gear. I won't go in to detail but it's GOOD stuff. I've also taken great care of my ears over the years. I never listen to amplified concert music without ear protection and I don't blow my ears out in my car. Which also has an insane...

    Apps Weather/Radar on the ATV 4

    Disappointed the Weather Channel app doesn’t have radar available. I see that AccuWeather does, but I can’t zoom on it and the app puts a big arrrow over my location which blocks me from see the radar wher I am. What apps are you using for radar?

    I am a Spectrum Cable subscriber currently with two cable boxes and Spectrum internet. I know one box will still be required in the house, but I was looking into getting an Apple TV after news from WWDC that you can use the Apple TV as a cable box replacement. Normally I would wait for details...

Its a great place for it since I can watch TV, Movies in bed or play games, check/ respond to emails in a comfortable setting at the low profile IKEA desk that sort of sits under it. Its notably terrible...

    Hello all I have been having an issue with HomePod. Every time I ask it to play something it starts the Apple TV. Both the HomPod and Apple TV are in the same room. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could stop the tv from starting when asking the HomePod to start playing songs?
