    Apps Is a Dedicated Apple TV box still required?

    ...if you buy a new smart TV? I'm about to purchase a 4k 65" Visio TV. It looks amazing! :) My initial research indicated that I will no longer need a dedicated Roku box, because my impression is that every channel that it carries is available on the TV's hub that I am purchasing, most...

    I've had this issue for a couple of months now. I'm trying to add the TV show Elementary back to the Up Next section of the TV app. I've already watched all the seasons available and am wanting to watch a season over again, but it won't update in Up Next with the next episode to watch from Hulu...

    Screen Mirroring black screen

    Hi all, iPhone 7 iOS 12.2 / Apple TV tvOS 12.2. When I enable Screen Mirroring the TV goes to a black screen. Rebooting the Apple TV does not resolve the issue, but rebooting the iPhone does. I haven't found anyone recently reporting this issue in my searches. Using the older troubleshooting...

    Apple TV Remotes No Longer Work as of 4/2

    My wife and I noticed that our Apple TV remote was no longer working this morning. We tried charging it, but it didn't help, and the Apple TV didn't report that it was charging (on screen). We didn't think much of it, but figured a hardware issue must've come up with it. A few hours later, we...

    I don’t know whether this has been mentioned before on this thread, but when playing Beats 1 on my phone being played via AirPlay on my Apple TV, the track info does not show (that is artist, track name, album, etc). On my Apple TV, the track info also doesn’t show. This has been happening for...

    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...

    I am in charge of our family plan. I am also in charge of the HomeKit set up in our house. My HomeKit access is shared with the members of my family who each have their own Apple devices and live with me. Each one of them have their own Apple TV’s in their rooms and are logged in with there...

    Apple Sports

    I think Apple should start selling Sports as a service. They should start by acquiring DAZN. This would bolster their TV app and streaming services. For a good price people would jump in. Not only that but if they could score some exclusives than it would promote their platform even more...

    HomeKit HomePod + Apple TV + HomeKit

    I'm setting up a HomePod, new user, with an Apple TV and eventually will include HomeKit for lights, fans, etc.. I'm already stuck on the first question on the Home app. Do I want the Apple TV or HomePod to be the center of my home? I have an iPhone and iPad too, if that makes a difference.

    Entered Apple ID password wrong *once*, locked out until Jan. 6. WTF apple?

    What kind of garbage is this? This is how they treat their customers? do they have to fax a request to another department and hand carry it to get stamped or something? this is pathetic for an online service they should be ashamed. Really regret getting in the Apple ecosystem

    Does anyone else have this problem with AppleTV?

    This is driving me crazy! And so far, I can find nothing on Apple Support forums or via Google for an answer. On my Apple TV fourth generation and my Apple TV 4K, as well as my third generation, the recommended tab in the movie section is always empty and tells me to start rating movies to get...
