Kawal, The HDMI port is a similar size to USB It has more of a D shape to it but the ends tend to have angles sliced off to give it that D shape.
About 0.75 % of an inch or 20 mm long give or take, The port or ports could be on the side / edge or rare of the tv my Samsung tv is 8 years old an LED tv and it has 4 HDMI ports, As well as 1 optical 2 USB and a few others including vga From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kawal Gucukoglu Sent: Tuesday, 30 August 2016 8:07 AM To: Macvisionaries <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Using Apple TV the fourth generation without a TV 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.

Therefore, it should be no problem plugging it into a Samsung or any other TV model for that matter as long as it has HDMI input. It is extremely difficult to plug it into the incorrect port on the back of the TV as the HDMI cable will only fit into the HDMI port on the TV. Later...

I’d get one when I could afford it if that is the case. I do have a Talking TV (one of those Samsung talking TV’s) hence not getting an Apple TV. I would not want to connect it to my Samsung TV as I would not know what socket to put it in as if I went to the place where I bought it from (John Lewis) for all you UK subscribers, I don’t think they would let me plug in an Apple TV in to one of their Samsung models. Anyway the last time I went there to look at an Apple TV it was sealed and they would not unseal it for me to have a feel of. Kawal.

You were saying that you can just send the audio output from your AppleTV fourth-generation to a pair of Bluetooth speakers, and all video plays fine. Including things like Netflix HBO, all the things that would have some protection on them. They all play fine. That's really surprising but good.

She mentions a specific HDMI to audio converter that she used with her stereo. The one thing she did not touch upon in her podcast has to do with an issue that has been raised on these lists before regarding the usability of this system with video content that is protected. I can't remember the name of the specification or coding or whenever it is involved that must be seen in order for the AppleTV to pick up the content. Generally, if the AppleTV is not connected to an actual video output which is actually turned on, you can't get a lot of this protected video content. So I am wondering about this system with this particular converter. Has anyone used it or any other converter connecting AppleTV fourth-generation to a stereo with no TV present and still able to receive the full complement of all the video channels, such as Netflix, HBO etc. Mary Sent from my iPhone -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
