Disappointed with Siri on Apple TV

I think the title "disappointed with Siri" could be in most of the iOS sub forums...haha

 

I'm extremely surprised Apple didn't include dictation in text inputs. You'd think that would be an obvious one.

 

Agree, searching youtube would be helpful with it

 

Are you serious?
Dictation was one thing I was thinking "finally! we'll have that on the TV!"

What a huge buzz kill

This bun needed more time in the oven - Sounds half baked to me.

 

The good news is that most of the problems can be fixed with software. Who knows how long we'll wait though.

 

Siri on ATV4 is pretty bad. I love Siri on the iphone. And it is pretty good on my Apple Watch.

 

It's pretty great despite those shortcomings. I know that Apple will get it in eventually. Gaming is fun and just being able to search netflix/hbo/itunes with siri is worth it to me IMO. I am totally satisfied with this purchase.

 

Siri not being able to control Apple Music at launch is a huge oversight as well... Apple Music came out in June and they think its acceptable to not have full support for it at the launch of a product they launch several months later...please

 

I'm keeping my TV 4 because it's better than the TV 2 I had. But let's face it: two high profile product launches this year from Eddy Cue's org and both of them feel they aren't ready for prime time. Either Eddy has too much on his plate or he's in over his head. Everything listed in this thread are absolute no brainers that one would have expected at launch.

 

Right now i have an old Apple tv hooked up and the new ready to go back, Yes the old one is slower but i can't believe i am going to say this but it is more functional. never thought i would say that yesterday

 

Relax. It's Siri 0.1 on the ATV. Give it a couple updates to make an actual evaluation. We all know how Apple does this. They release only the bare bones functionality at first, then build it up incrementally. I suspect we'll see a much more capable implementation of Siri in the coming months. I bet she'll even get her voice back.

 

The 4 is less functional than the 3? I think you'll have a hard time making that comment stick.

 

No podcast App, no radio App, airplay does not work properly if you run a playlist and turn screen off , screensavers show same photos in same order. Want to play music with a slideshow, takes an extra step......etc

 

At least yours works - I can't even activate Siri on my new ATV as the option is set to "Off", greyed out and not selectable.

 

You are not missing much

 

I'm bummed that I can't just display results from my iTunes purchases with a Siri search. Asking to see things that I've purchased just brings me to the main iTunes movie store page.

 

Siri 1.0 will be available only on Apple TV 5 with A10 processor. Keep waiting.

 

Nonsense.

 

Good sense

 

Fun game, but no.

 

So you're carping about the temporary shortcomings of a brand new iteration of iOS.

Compelling.
