Apple TV 4 Deliveries Begin as Apple Releases Final tvOS Build and App Store Goes Live

I'm curious to know why would one pay a plex subscription vs using the Apple home share feature which is free?

Remote access for kids mostly. They share their time living between me and their mums house so with Plex they can access the media library from wherever they are on their laptops (and their mum can access it from her Fire TV); the Plex subscription came from me just being a geek and wanting to test out Plex's multi-user features and parental controls. The ability to access their beta software was just a side-effect

Mine still hasn't shipped, I ordered it that first morning. I'm not sure what time ordering was available, not the few times I checked 6am or 7am (Michigan time), but when I checked at lunch I ordered it.

Kind of annoying as Apple has always been good about getting that stuff out at the same time when you order early.

Hold on a second I'm confused. Does does Siri work when connected to US iTunes account?

Yes it does. If you manage to get one without US credit card etc.

Ps: the cost is irrelevant it has always been like this and users make a choice whether to purchase or not.

Sure. But if this keeps getting worse it might impact Apple. I'm a huge fan but the last months Apple seems to get less and less likable.

Mine "shipped" two days ago, for delivery yesterday. FedEx still hasn't picked it up. Ugh....

I'm lucky really I am in UK anyway and also have a US Account.

However, that aside. iTunes account is the only way they can check for your Siri region. Hence it turns off when logging out. Apparently you can log in multiple times on the Apple TV have you tried logging both your accounts in.

Having played with the device now the keyboard on it really isn't that bad. I prefer it so much more than the keyboard on the previous generation.

Like someone said earlier everything is on one axis. No having to go up and down constantly. The other thing is the shortcuts built in. Play/pause to change case and the recents which stores frequently typed stuff like email addresses make it far easier to use. Yes it will be nice when the remote app works but until then the onscreen keyboard will do.

Don't be a tool. Embrace diversity.

That's so cute.

I ordered mine about 2 hours after it became available, said "Shipped" two days ago but the only shipping status since then has been "Label Created". Not exactly shipped, but is supposed to arrive on the last day of "Delivers by" so still within delivery horizon. Not within "3-5 business days" however.

Oh well...

I finally got shipping info today, but it hadn't even been picked up yet.

I ordered around noon-ish on the day you could first order, friends (that I e-mailed to tell them it was available) ordered after work and it's arriving on Monday...

That's just your own opinion. Based on their sales it seems more and more people are starting to like Apple.

That happened to me. I called Apple, they had no clue, so they got FedEx on the phone. They had no clue. A few hours later, I rec'd an email that it was lost in shipment, and the sent another on Monday for delivery on Tuesday. Call them...
