"Honey, why can't you be more like Siri on the new Apple TV?"
You can ask Siri, what can I ask you. Other than that:
When you’re playing video content, there are a number of commands you can use to control playback.
Ask Siri. Say something like:
You can ask questions to get more information about a programme you’re watching.
Ask Siri. Say something like:
You can ask Siri about other topics, like sport, weather and stocks.
Ask Siri. Say something like:
- "Open App Store”
- “Launch Netflix”
- “Go to Photos”
When you’re playing video content, there are a number of commands you can use to control playback.
Ask Siri. Say something like:
- “Pause this”
- “Play from the beginning”
- “Skip forward 90 seconds”
- “Jump back 10 minutes”
- “Turn on closed captioning”
- “Turn on French subtitles”
- “What did she just say?”
In this case, Apple TV skips back 15 seconds and temporarily turns on subtitles.
You can ask questions to get more information about a programme you’re watching.
Ask Siri. Say something like:
- “Who stars in this?”

You can ask Siri about other topics, like sport, weather and stocks.
Ask Siri. Say something like:
- “Who won the FA Cup?”

- “Who plays in goal for Milan?”
- “How’s the weather?”
- “What’s the weather in York?”

- “Where’s the NASDAQ today?”

You hold down the button while you talk. If you just press and release it it will show you a bunch of different examples of commands.
