    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...

    Shared "Favorites" Photo Album

    Alrighty, looking for what seems like it should be a simple solution, but not sure one exists. In photos on my mac, I would like to share my Favorites Album with my Mother so she can automatically get the newest photos on her AppleTV screensaver.

    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?

    Details on Apple TV and Spectrum Cable?

    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...

    Apple TV, School work, and a question of practicality.

    Hi everyone. I recently purchased a 27" iMac which I have mounted on my wall in the bedroom. 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...

    HomePod Apple TV always starts

    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?

    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...

    Chromecast driving me crackers...

    First off apologies if this is the wrong forum, I couldn't decide where it should go... For years I have used my AppleTV when I am doing public presentations.

    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...
