    @@PISCINAPARTYPAPI Technically the remote you’re referring to was never a “Siri” remote. It was simply called Apple Remote. There’s only been 3 generations of Siri Remote. The 1st Gen was like the remote in the video that had the white ring. The 1st Gen was updated to in order to *remove the ring, but it was still a 1st Gen. The 2nd Gen introduced the aluminium remote we are used to seeing now. The 3rd Gen is identical to the 2nd Gen, but the Lightning port was replaced with a USB-C port. *add

    Yes, you are correct. There have been 4 gens of Apple TV remote. The first one in 2009 was all aluminum and had a replaceable non-rechargeable battery. The subsequent 3 generations in 2015, 2017 and 2021 were referenced as Siri remotes, and had BT as well as IR, with rechargeable batteries. There was an Apple Remote introduced in 2005 to support Front Row on iMacs and Mini that was all plastic, and could be used with early gens of Apple TV.@@PISCINAPARTYPAPI

In all cases I put in the pods before turning on my apple TV. If anyone knows how to ensure auto connect I would be very grateful.

    Two additional tips: 1. With the current remote, clicking on the Right or Left arrows of the navigation ring will skip the content forward or backward. The amount it moves depends on the app. For instance, KZreadTV skips 15 seconds with each click. 2. Changing the Keyboard Layout (Settings -> General -> Keyboard Layout) from Linear to Grid makes it MUCH easier to navigate the on-screen keyboard to enter text.

    Excellent and informative introduction to the Apple TV 4K. A couple of things that I particularly like about this steaming box that you didn’t mention is the scrolling feature to quickly and accurately fast forward or reverse on many of the apps. I also think the ability to switch quickly and easily between various different apps is another big benefit of the ATV4K box and provides much greater flexibility than using the built in apps on a smart tv or an Amazon fire stick for example where you have to completely exit one app before accessing another.

    One feature you missed which is a must have for me is the Match Content option in the video settings. If that is on and your TV is compatible it streams video at the frame rate and resolution of the content, otherwise the Apple TV converts it to whatever your Apple TV is set to. If you have a mix of content, for example movies at 24 frames a second, UK and North American TV shows which have different frame rates everything streams without annoying jitters, which can be really obvious on panning shots for example. Many of the apps honour the setting too, so Netflix and Plex will match. The main exception is the KZread app that resolutely converts everything to the overarching setting of the Apple TV.

    Thanks for the great video - as always your stuff is really informative -- even for a long time Apple-user like myself! One feature I LOVE is the ability to say out-loud "Hey Siri, turn off my TV" just before I fall asleep. Finding the remote always pulls me out of that blissful pre-slumber mode. (I have a HomePod nearby, but as long as all your devices are on the same wi-fi network, your iPhone or even Apple Watch will listen and "speak" to the AppleTV).. A feature I haven't seen which would be great is being able to use the Find My app to locate a missing remote. Often the remotes (especially the older smaller ones) end up hidden behind a pillow or under the sheets or someplace that takes a while to find. A little chirp or beep after speaking "Hey Siri, find my remote" would be awesome and very "Apple" centric.

    Great video! Very comprehensive and easy for beginners. I was probably underutilizing the Siri function before, will use that more. One suggestion to include, as some mentioned below, is settings in the “Video and Audio” section around SDR and HDR. These are important to understand and set properly to get a good experience, Apple actually makes things pretty easy in this area. Main issue is that most streaming content is a mishmash of SDR, HDR and Dolby Vision. Also most menus for streaming services are SDR. So forcing the video to Dolby 4K or HDR 4K on Apple TV always will cause SDR content and menus to look terrible and blown out in a lot of cases. General advice in most cases is to set the output on Apple TV to “4K SDR” and then turn on the “Match frame rate” and “match dynamic range” settings to on. This will allow SDR content, such as menus, to be displayed as intended and then auto switch to HDR or Dolby when these frames are detected.

    2 notes: 1. Using the iPhone as a controller lets you use the iPhone keyboard rather than the hunt-and-peck style for typing. This is useful for things like passwords. Of course, using the iPhone also gives you access to whatever password management software you use. 2. Making the Apple Photos app the first app on the Top Shelf gives you an initial screen that is an 'Up Next' style scroll of photo memories. I find this more pleasing than the choices available from the Apple TV app.

    11:09 Streaming audio to two different Bluetooth headphones is priceless! It’s available in the Audio Output settings. Have both BT headphones already connected and then enable each one.

    13:03 I do not have cameras that are compatible with Apple Home. But I do have Phillips Hue lights throughout my home. I have shortcuts on Apple Home to turn on or off lights in specific rooms or zones. Or to set a room to a specific scene. This is nice when I have a glare on my screen, and the lights in the kitchen are no longer needed.

    This video is especially helpful for those who are new to technology and want to gain a better understanding. For individuals with prior experience in video technology, you may find that the content is intuitive and easily navigable, likely requiring less time to comprehend than the video's duration. While I personally had hoped to discover new insights, it appears that the video mainly covers familiar ground.

    Thank you for an easy to understand and informative discussion of the new Apple TV! We do have one question. The microphone app search (for example in the KZread app) now starts a SIRI search and an orange dot appears in the top right corner of the TV. The microphone app search worked with all my apps from the beginning. We have ios17.2. We have tried some of the options but have not been able to stop the global SIRI action. We welcome if possible a simple option solution to return to the app microphone search. You have a great channel! Thank you

    You can also turn off the touch option for the remote in the settings if it’s hard to use or annoying. This gives you a 4-button remote if you prefer to click through your content.

    That was really helpful. I have one issue that a declining % of users would have. My 4K TV does not have eArc. This means it does not pass Dolby ATMOS through to my Sonos ARC system. If the Apple TV had 2 HDMI outputs, that would have been fine. To try to address this I bought an Arcane HD Fury splitter that sends video to TV and audio to the Sonos ARC. Any thoughts?

    Hi! Thank you for this walkthrough video! I have one question though: How can I synchronise my "home videos" to my Apple TV and then play them on my TV? I can synchronise them to my iPhone's TV app, but despite I specifically select to synchronise "Playlists" (as opposed to "Videos") they don't appear on the phone app. It only shows the videos, but NOT organised within playlists... I appreciate any constructive inputs, thank you! 🙏

    I installed my Apple TV yesterday and I found your video this morning. I found most of what you mentioned, but as my iPhone was already updated to IOS17 and the Apple TV was still on IOS16, I did have a couple of small problems with the installation. However, I was able to complete the installation with the Apple TV talking to my Apple Watch. When installation was complete, I updated to IOS 17. I could then install the Apple TV app on my phone. A surprise for me was, I could install my current VPN on the Apple TV.

    I am interesting in casting (not mirroring) video smoothly with audio from my MACBOOK to a TV that the Apple TV box is attached to. Is the Apple TV able to do this rather important function processing all the various video file codecs thrown at it, such as MKV, MP4 etc? I had been using Beamer and Chromecast but that option doesn't seem available anymore without a subscription.

    Thank you for this. I now have the Apple TV a few month and I am happy with it. The only enjoying thing is that once the screensaver starts, with beautiful pictures, an ‘AirPlay’ pop-up (similar to what you show at the conference room configuration) comes on the screen showing the internet name and the name of the Apple TV. I live in The Netherlands and searched the internet but I cannot find anything how to remove this pop-up. And it really a shame because it blocks a part of the pictures and also disappears and show back again on an other place on the screen. Do you have a solution? Thank you for your help,

    Beta user as well. It’s been solid software…the hardware…the new remote is SO much better…BUT…I purchased a thin silicon case for it which makes it a little “stickier” - less likely to slip out of my hands or in between couch cushions…it also makes it easier to see.

    This was amazing thank you. I think you need to edit the video and add the number one reason for the Apple TV. Airplay! This feature known by very few people to share photos and to mirror the iphone was the only reason I bought the device prior to smart tvs adding it to the core features. You should show old people how they can see the iphone and ipad emails photos etc in large format on screen mirrored. We use it to plan family vacation from the couch on google earth etc. Thanks again.
