    Apple is heading for a decline.

    The past 12 months really hasn’t been kind to Apple. The lawsuits, the steps back in their products and ecosystem as a result, one negative headline after another, struggling stocks. But on top of all that, Apple isn’t feeling exciting anymore. Now before you start keyboard mashing to say how...

    Samsung Smart TV Remote with Lastest TVOS update

    Has anyone else had an issue with their Samsung TV remote no longer able to control their Apple TV after the latest update? I've done a factory reset on my TV and my Apple TV, but I cannot seem to get them working together now. Usually in the past, a simple power reset resolved the issue.

    tvOS 17: AppleTV doesn't search for videos anymore

    Hello everyone, I have an AppleTV 4K (3rd Generation). It comes with the new USB-C Siri Remote, the one in aluminium with black buttons. The search functionality has always worked fine.* I've always been able to press the "search" button on the side of the remote, and use my voice to give it a...

    TVOS and App updates is there an easy way to see a list of updates outside of TVOS?

    Hey all, hope the thread title isn't too confusing, or misleading. My question is, Like the mac, there are sites such as macupdate that show updated apps, to make it easier to see which apps have updates so you don't have to go and check each one. I know this carries over to iOS to a point on...

    HomeKit Apple TV shows "Playing" in Home app while it's OFF

    This issue never occurred before last December when I updated to iOS 16.2 and tvOS 16.2. (I also took the optional new HomeKit architecture at this time.) In the Home app, my Apple TV (4K 2nd Gen) is showing status as "Playing" and yet it's shut OFF right now. And sometimes when it's ON...

    iOS Control Center Remote Volume Unreliable After 16.2

    My wife and I use the iOS and iPadOS Control Center remote to control our Apple TV. Since upgrading to iOS, iPadOS and tvOS to the latest version, volume control rarely works (the volume buttons usually only adjust the iPhone or iPad device volume). Has anyone else experienced this? Any fixes...

    Apple TV + Homekit + multi-user

    Does anyone know how I can setup an Apple TV, as an admin of a home, but not the owner? Currently, to get Homekit support on my Apple TV, I have to get the home owner to set it up, even though I am a home admin. This means that the default account on the ATV is that person, when it’s in a...

    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...

    Apple TV 4K - force 4K output quality on 1080p TV.

    Typically, if you have a 1080p TV, Apple TV 4K is going to work in 1080p mode and output a "low-res" picture. Turns out, it's possible to force Apple TV 4K to work in 4K mode and using 4K assets - go to Settings > Video and Audio > Format > Other formats and select 1600x1200 resolution...

    Photo Slideshow Screensaver on TVOS 14

    I was thinking about getting a new Apple TV 4K to replace my now unusable old one. I really liked the photo gallery screensaver on the old one, but in all of the documentation for the new TVOS, I couldn’t find a way to do the new, photo slideshow screensaver without using shared albums in iCloud...

    WWDC vs. September event

    Thought I’d ask this question that I’ve been thinking about for a while. Which is your favorite Apple event each year? The September iPhone event or WWDC keynote? I personally enjoy WWDC more because it brings new features for all product lines, and it’s always exciting to see new things at...

    All Devices Switch Pro Controller/Joycon Support

    I was wondering if anyone else may hope for this support now that we have PS4 and XB1 S controller support in iOS13/tvOS. I know Nintendo previously shied away from playing nice, but since Mario Run it seems like they might be more interested in pushing mobile more. Is this something people...

    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...
