I’ve just bought a new 4K Gen 3 Apple TV, to replace my 1st Gen.

I’ll move the 1st Gen to my bedroom, but can I ‘clone’ it as such, so the new ATV has all the same Apps etc as the one I’m using now?

Or do I need to set it up from scratch again?
 
Have you connected it yet? I think if you do that and sign into your Apple account on it, the question will answer itself. :)
 
It hasn’t arrived in the mail yet. So afraid not.

Just wanted to know before I moved the current one and found out I needed to start from scratch :)
 
Go into settings and turn on One Homescreen then everything will be the same.
All you’ll have to do is sign into any apps that require a login.

Superb.

Thank you. And if I don’t turn that on, they will operate entirely individually?
