    Upgrade question

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 02:09 AM PDT

    Hi

    We currently have an Apple TV HD (4th Generation), and an Apple TV (3rd Generation), but I want to use the newer features of tvOS; my question is should I replace the Apple TV (3rd Generation) with an Apple TV HD (4th Generation), or an Apple TV 4K (5th Generation) for future proofing in case we want to get a 4K TV later. Also, does the Apple TV (3rd Generation) use the same power cable as the newer models?

    Thanks!

    Question about Apple Channels and HBO

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 01:08 AM PDT

    So I started the trial for HBO on my Apple TV and I wanted to watch something while working at my desk and I couldn't find anything online about signing into HBO NOW or GO with an Apple login. Is this right? Your subscription only lets you watch it on the Apple TV app? Its the same price as HBO NOW and I can watch that on anything, so what's the point?

    Now tv on Apple Tv: when? (Italy)

    Posted: 17 Apr 2020 11:32 PM PDT

    In Italy there is no Now tv app on Apple tv. In may 2018 Sky announced a Now Tv app coming in a few months.

    Two years have passed, and nothing happened. They still promote their proprietary stick, and don't give any explaination to the customers. No press release, no replies on Twitter, nothing.

    Do you have any idea what happened?

    Can I have a different password for Apple TV+?

    Posted: 17 Apr 2020 06:17 PM PDT

    Hi guys! I couldn't find a better place to ask and I'm not too sure if this is the right place but I recently got Apple TV+ and it logs in using my iCloud info. Is there any way I can have different passwords for each? I'd like my brother to use the Apple TV+ thing as well but I don't want to give him my log in details for iCloud.

    Thanks!

    [Apple TV game] The Curse of Issyos retro adventure/platformer is coming to Apple TV and iOS on April 30th. 8-bit feel + Greek myths.

    Posted: 17 Apr 2020 05:23 PM PDT

    [Apple TV game] The Curse of Issyos retro adventure/platformer is coming to Apple TV and iOS on April 30th. 8-bit feel + Greek myths.

    As we're all home - here's one more game with Apple TV support: The Curse of Issyos.

    Greek mythology meets retro gaming in this adventure from the creators of Cursed Castilla and Super Hydorah.

    The Curse of Issyos: Ancient Greece meets retro gameplay

    Defkalion was fishing at the quiet blue sea when he heard the voice of goddess Athena. "Hurry up", she said. "The Isle of Issyos has been cursed by the Olympus!" And so, fearing for his daughter Delia, his only family left, the fisherman sails back to his home, where the adventure is about to begin.

    The Curse of Issyos is already available for preorder on the App Store, and will be launched on April 30th for iPhone, iPad and Apple TV: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-curse-of-issyos/id1500724078

    It's $1.99 now, with the preorder discount: for this price, the player will get The Curse of Issyos on all their iOS devices, thanks to iCloud. It will be $2.99, once released.

    Start on iPhone - basically anywhere you are, even on the porcelain throne :D - then, move to iPad, and continue where you left off. And on Apple TV, you basically get the full console experience. I like seeing this as "the modern take on playing games on the family TV, like we did in the 80s and 90s". :)

    I'd also say The Curse of Issyos is a nice choice for people just getting into this genre of games: a bit more forgiving than other known titles, and also takes less to complete - just about 45 minutes once fully mastered. Also, quarantine is a good time to teach your family members to play videogames - or shamelessly enjoy binge gaming. Because why not?

    Here's how The Curse of Issyos plays on Apple TV

    And more details of the iPhone/iPad/Apple TV version:

    • Compatible with MFi, XBox One and PS4 controllers.
    • Haptic vibration.
    • iCloud support: play across iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV.
    • Game Center achievements and leaderboards.
    • Play in landscape or portrait orientation.
    • Look and feel of a console game from 1987-1988.
    • Based on Greek mythology.
    • 30+ original music tracks by Gryzor87.
    • 7 levels, 9 bosses and more than 40 unique enemies.
    • A secret level that can change the outcome of the game.
    • Around 45 minutes of gameplay (once fully mastered).

    As always: will be happy to answer any questions! Stay home, play games! :)

    HDR settings are driving me insane!

    Posted: 17 Apr 2020 03:08 PM PDT

    Received my ATV a couple of days ago... cannot for the life of me to get HDR content to not be washed out and worse than SDR.

    I've read dozens of threads on this Reddit with people experiencing the same thing. I've tried every setting and combination of settings I can think of. I have range matching and frame matching on and the ATV set to 4K SDR. I have 'Ultra Deep Colour' enabled on my LG TV. But I've also tried it without and have the same problem.

    No matter what I do, I can't get it to work the way it needs to. I don't want to turn up the brightness and saturation on my TV settings to counter it as that'll then ruin everything that's not HDR + I have no way to know what the perfect setting should be. As such, I've been sticking with the 'Standard' picture mode on the LG which has the backlight up to 100%. Before the ATV I had the backlight set to around 50% which was more than bright enough.

    Any help would be appreciated. It's pretty much driving me crazy!

    Solution for Viewing Complete TV Series by Season

    Posted: 17 Apr 2020 08:49 PM PDT

    Not sure if this has already been figured out, but I think I may have discovered a solution to the endless scrolling required when buying complete TV series on iTunes... If you start an episode, back out, then re-enter playback through 'Watch Now' in the TV app, you can hit the Menu button and then select 'More Episodes' to view things by season versus having to scroll through every episode like usual. Hope this helps someone! Let me know if these directions are unclear.

    Distorted Sound Help?

    Posted: 17 Apr 2020 08:36 PM PDT

    Hey!

    So I've been searching for an answer to this, but nothing seems to really match the issues we are having.

    It's done this in the past... but it fixed it self briefly. All things audio are delayed/distorted on our 4K Apple TV. The sound moving between apps is distorted and delayed, and all streaming sounds bad and is delayed. I've reset the tv, changed HDMI inputs, and turned everything on and off. I'm out of solutions. Can anyone offer some assistance?

    want to control my tv’s volume via my apple tv. doable?

    Posted: 17 Apr 2020 04:46 PM PDT

    now before you send me off on some wild rabbit chase of teaching my apple tv to recognize my tv's remote, or teach my apple tv remote my tv's codes…

    i don't want to do any of that.

    right now, i use remote.app to do 95% of what i want on my tv. unfortunately, volume is not one of them. and until apple tv figures out how to equalize all media across all apps, i run into this on a multi-multi-multi-daily basis.

    the tv is a tcl roku tv. yes, there is a roku app for that, but switching back and forth (especially being caught off guard for that first 10 seconds the blazing loud new thing is playing while people are sleeping), well, is really throwing off my groove.

    i know, i know #firstworldcoronavirusproblems.

    is this doable? i've consumed 90% of my media via portable screens for the last decade, so i'm kind of learning what all can (and can't) be controlled over hdmi.

    too long, didn't read:

    can the apple tv control the tcl roku tv's volume over their hdmi connections?

    What is the cheapest way to wirelessly mirror MacBook to Apple TV?

    Posted: 17 Apr 2020 08:10 AM PDT

    Should I buy an Apple TV for this? If so, which one will be sufficient? Would 4th gen be good enough? How long would it be supported for? Doesn't have to be 4K as it is only a 1080p TV

    Apple TV's showing up as option when hitting the speaker phone button during a call.

    Posted: 17 Apr 2020 11:06 AM PDT

    I've tried disabling all account connectivity on the Apple TV, removed the Apple TV Remote app, reset the Apple TV, nothing has worked to get rid of them as an option, I just want the button to toggle like it used to without a menu popping up with useless options.

    Turning the TV and Soundbar on/off with the Apple TV remote

    Posted: 17 Apr 2020 09:18 AM PDT

    Hi, I have a Sony TV and Sony Soundbar.

    The soundbar is connected to my tv via optical cable. I do not have an hdmi port on the back of my soundbar.

    I am able to control the volume of the soundbar with the Apple TV remote. Is it possible for me to turn both my tv and my soundbar on when I press the tv button on my Apple TV remote?

    Thank you.

    Harmony Hub / 950 remote and Apple TV (connected with Bluetooth). Harmony responds slow, much slower than the Apple remote - config issue or is this just how it is?

    Posted: 17 Apr 2020 10:37 AM PDT

    Hello!

    I have been working at this for days with no luck. The ATV is configured with an active Bluetooth connection to the Logitech Harmony Hub. Using the Harmony software.... ultimately the commands sent from my Harmony 950 remote (and the responsiveness of the ATV) are just way slower than the same from the ATV remote.

    I have an ATV 4th Generation -> Yamaha Receiver -> Sony Bravia TV. Other devices are also connected to this receiver. Everything is controlled universally by the Harmony solution..

    This might just be an 'Apple thing', and the ATV remote may have proprietary technology that the Harmony tools cannot reproduce - if that's the case then there probably is no solution

    I have this same setup configured for my Nvidia Shield and it works flawlessly. The Harmony remote is exactly as fast and as responsive as the Nvidia remote.

    Any suggestions on how to tune the ATV-Harmony bluetooth connections so it's more in line with that of the actual ATV remote?

    SAME EXACT PROBLEM/QUESTION for the TiVo DCX900 DVR device (I haven't written up a post yet...)

    Thanks

    ATV users- why does the YouTube UI suck so much?

    Posted: 17 Apr 2020 07:42 AM PDT

    I know most people come here for specific Apple TV issues, but as a community of like-minded users —— does anyone else absolutely hate the user interface on the YouTube app?

    Primarily the in video menus and options that seem to fast forward (scrub) through the content as you navigate to the "more options" dots?!

    4K itunes on HD?

    Posted: 17 Apr 2020 07:14 AM PDT

    We currently have the HD ATV with a 4K TV. There are a couple movies on iTunes we have purchased that are 4K. Will they always show in HD or will they show in 4K once we upgrade to the 4K ATV? How big of a difference is the picture considering we've never seen 4K to know what we're missing?

    Controlling accessories in the same room as Apple TV 4K

    Posted: 17 Apr 2020 04:50 AM PDT

    This is a crosspost from r/HomeKit as for some reason Reddit says invalid URL when trying to crosspost. Apologies.

    Hello all,

    My 4K Apple TV was delivered a couple of days ago and I have a question which basically comes down to integration with HomeKit.

    Firstly, it was disappointing to see that I can't control the Apple TV as part of a scene including video content, e.g. specifying it to open Netflix via a HomeKit scene. I have pretty much my entire set up controlled via HomeKit and Homebridge so this is actually a bit of a step back. But I digress.

    My problem right now is that asking Siri to turn off any accessories in the same room as the Apple TV just results in the Apple TV itself being turned off.

    "Turn off the PS4" "Okay, the Apple TV is off"

    "Turn off the lights" "Okay the Apple TV is off"

    "Turn off everything in the room" "Okay the Apple TV is off" But everything else stays on.

    You get the idea.

    Please does anyone have any advice or fixes? I've tried varying the name of the Apple TV but no success.

    Thanks in advance.
