    Apple TV Upgrade?

    The only thing I have not recently updated in my arsenal is my Apple TV. I've been back and forth on whether it makes sense to get the newest one or not. Here's why: - It lives in my bedroom and plays on a small 32 inch 1080p TV (no 4k). - It still works perfectly fine and I have no issues with...

    Apple TV dying a slow death?

    Greetings, I have a Apple TV. The one before the 4K came out. I swear it is dying on me. Issues began when I connected to UHD Roku TV, I think the two hate each other. When I switch my TV on to Apple TV for the day, it is mysteriously at RESET or RESTART screen... every time. I came home...

    Apple TV 4k - black screen & lag when starting videos

    Recently I've been getting a black screen & lag when starting videos on my Apple TV 4k 64 gb. It's frustrating. I don't know if it has to do with HDR settings? Maybe a recent update broke something? Anyone else having this issue?

    Cord-cutting, Netflix, Hulu, etc.

    My family is into cord-cutting in a big way. I have never thoroughly investigated this, so I'm in the dark about it. They already shut off cable TV, tried DirecTV (satellite) and shut that off, too. Their previous-generation AppleTV has interesting free content, but you have to navigate and...

    HomePod HomePod AirPlay lag from Mac: anyone experiencing it?

    Anyone experiencing lag when AirPlaying from Mac to the HomePod? I can't even watch Netflix because the lag is too big. Strangely, AirPlaying to my  TV has no lag. The lag occurs with iTunes as well.

    HomePod HomePod & AppleTV?

    Okay, this may be a dumb question. If it is, please forgive me. I'm hard of hearing, wear hearing aids. On my television and sound system, the only way to be sure I catch the audio is to use close captioning. This weekend I was at a friends house and he had a very expensive sound system, I was...

    UK: The ITV Hub is now live!

    Good news, ITV Hub has (eventually) been released for Apple TV in the UK! (You can see it listened on this page.) Hopefully this means Apple's TV app won't be far behind. If you didn't already know, My5 (Channel 5's on demand service) is also now available on Apple TV.
