Hi Tim. I don’t know what one of those ports are or what they look like. If someone has one of these Samsung TV’s could you tell me please which is the port for the Apple TV forth Gen so that if I do get one eventually then I’ll be able to use it. However, I’m not sure why one of these TV’s would benefit me apart from playing my I phone content on my Samsung TV. I’m not in to netflicks or any other subscription provider so would only want it for free content. At the moment I don’t know why I’d want one of those TV’s, unless you want to play your Itune content on it.
Thanks. Kawal. > On 29 Aug 2016, at 20:32, Tim Kilburn <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > The Apple TV simply connects with an HDMI cable.
