    Harry Potter Cover Art Keeps Changing

    The cover art for all Harry Potter movies has changed two times in the last week. Do you think they’re honing in on an aesthetic they like? Not pictured is the latest cover art, which is similar to the first picture, but without the numbers. I personally liked the second batch (below). Also...

    HomeKit Apple TV in Scenes and Automations

    How? I want to make use of Scenes and/or Automations that include turning the Apple TV On or Off, i.e. waking it or sleeping it. However, I just don't see how I can do that. I can make a Shortcut that does all that I need but only I can use it and not from the Apple TV itself. I can speak the...

    BBC iPlayer ‘Up Next’ not

    Since the release of TVOS14, anything I watch on the BBC iPlayer doesn’t seem to be logging in the UpNext function. Up Next doesn’t seem to realise I’ve watched a show. Is this happening with anyone else?

    Apple TV, new Roku Ultra, or new Google Chromecast?

    We are an Apple family but on principle I don’t like buying three year old tech, so I’ve pretty much written off the current Apple TV. We’ve had a free subscription to Apple TV+ (I think it came with my iPhone 11) but we haven’t used it even once, so I don’t care about that. My wife is...

    Some Video Won't Play in Safari

    Whenever I try to watch Disney+ and Apple TV+ on my Mac, I can hear the audio, but there's no video. This happens in Safari only. I've tried disabling all extensions to see if there's a conflict, and that doesn't solve the problem. This happens on both of my machines. Is anyone else...

    Peacock on Apple TV: can't authenticate

    Peacock TV has officially launched. My experience was being able to create an account on iPadOS and link it to my Xfinity service successfully. However, the same login credentials don't work on the Apple TV app. Also, like with Xfinity Stream, there is no Airplay support on The iPad app. User...

    'House' iCloud account for Apple TV's ?

    TV's in our house get all of their programming from Apple TV's on each. These are shared resources. For instance, the TV in our family room - several of us sit down to watch it, not just a single person with their personal iCloud account. Frequently there are questions of 'Dad, can you come sign...

    In what way is the ATV better than to use the SmartTV apps for browsing the internet or doing internet stuff on your TV? And what stuff is that? What exactly can AppleTV do?

    Screen mirroring is a misnomer.

    Screen mirroring is a lie. Are there any apps that allow real screen mirroring? By which I mean that no matter what is on your phone it will be mirrored along with sound to your tv. This is not what “screen mirroring” does either with Apple TV or Samsung smart TV’s. Yes it will mirror your home...

    Apple TV Age Certificates On Movies Behaving Oddly

    So I’ve been rebuilding my library due to a whole bunch of server issues and everything has been fine apart from the transition to the new ‘Music’ and ‘TV’ apps. I happened to quite like iTunes for all its quirks. Restarting Home Sharing ended up being a major headache. Any way. Last week I...

    Better Integrated Family Sharing, Please

    My family uses my Apple account to access our purchased movie library. My wife has titles that she purchased years ago on her account. While we can access them from my account (TV > Library > Family Sharing > [Wife's Name] > Movies), the process is a little convoluted. It would be convenient to...

    TV App on Mac Always Forgets I have paid to watch shows

    Under Catalina on my iMac Pro, I am now forced to use the new TV app (iTunes was SO much better...!). It is an absolute PITA. I bought several TV seasons and Movies. Yes, I paid full Apple price and downloaded them. Until just last month, my internet here in the Hinterlands was way too slow...

    iPad stream flicks and then disappears on Sharp smart tv

    I’m using ATV 4th generation on Sharp 75 4K. I frequently browse YouTube videos on my mini iPad and watch on my smart tv over the same wifi network. I can also mirror my iPad using ATV. Sometimes I watch free movies on my mini iPad using free movie-sites like gomovies, or putlocker. The...
