I broke down and am trying YoutubeTV. They have a free 10 day trial with $20
off first three months. Any documentation to point me to get it up and
running on Apple tv?

I got the app started but want to learn how to best find channels, favorite
them, and record shows.

Feel free to point me to documentation. I have 10 days to decide if I want
to keep it.

I mainly got it for the SEC baseball tournament. Lol.

If you have an iPhone, you can bring up a control experience for your Apple TV 
from the phone. Open the Control Center and it should be one of the options.

Hello Sarai,

After reading your post, I immediately checked the Prime TV app on my Apple TV 
running the latest versions of both TV OS and the Prime TV app, and all of my 
purchased movies and television shows, along with titles I've recently viewed, 
are in the My Stuff area, just as expected.

So, you may want to check the status of your Amazon account.

Also, if you have not yet done so, open the Prime TV app on any other devices 
you may have such as iOS or iPad OS and take a look.

RE: Amazon Prime Apple TV app channels

2023-12-29 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Sarai,

After reading your post, I immediately checked the Prime TV app on my Apple TV 
running the latest versions of both TV OS and the Prime TV app, and all of my 
purchased movies and television shows, along with titles I've recently viewed, 
are in the My Stuff area, just as expected.

So, you may want to check the status of your Amazon account.

Also, if you have not yet done so, open the Prime TV app on any other devices 
you may have such as iOS or iPad OS and take a look.

Mark

That makes sense now.  I don’t have the Apple TV hardware.

I’d contact both Apple Accessibility and Prime about this.

 

It sounds like something significant has changed.

Re: Audio description on Hulu through Apple TV app on the iPad

2023-12-20 Thread David Grossoehme
Hulu is loosing their servicers to another stream as you will see if you 
would do a little research.  Hulu is being combined with Disney Plus as 
I tried to let you know in another message yesterday.  You are lucky to 
receive the audio description in any stream from the internet until our 
laws are changed.

I think the audio description and its movie or tv show should come as one

automatically be included.  The same thing goes for something shown live with 
audio description, but then offered to watch on demand without audio

Re: Audio description on Hulu through Apple TV app on the iPad

2023-12-19 Thread Anna Dresner
HI Mary,

Have you tried the Hulu app? It might be easier in an app where you're 
accessing Hulu directly.

Best,
Anna

Audio description on Hulu through Apple TV app on the iPad

2023-12-19 Thread Mary Otten
I have recently subscribed to Hulu with ads for a year for a dollar a month. I 
want to watch the movie zero days, which is listed as having audio description, 
at least on Amazon prime, where I would have to pay for it or rent it. I have 
Hulu connected to the Apple TV app on my iPad. I want to know how to turn on 
audio description in this format. I can’t find it anywhere. According to 
Amazon, AD is available, at least through prime. But I want it on Hulu. Any 
ideas?
Mary

Hi Chris and All,

The issue with using the keyboard with one’s Apple TV has been fixed. The arrow

K380, but I suspect other keyboards should now work.

Hi Chris,

I have had numerous conversations with Logitech Tech Support and Apple. 
Logitech does not support TVOS latest version. Whether they will is an open 
question. Apple doesn’t even support this OS on their own keyboards which makes 
no sense to me. I will be writing Apple Accessibility about this and encourage 
you and others to do the same. I was shocked that Apple’s keyboard won’t work

with the Logitech K380, but I suspect other keyboards should now work.

Hi Chris,

I have had numerous conversations with Logitech Tech Support and 
Apple. Logitech does not support TVOS latest version. Whether they 
will is an open question. Apple doesn’t even support this OS on their 
own keyboards which makes no sense to me. I will be writing Apple 
Accessibility about this and encourage you and others to do the same. 
I was shocked that Apple’s keyboard won’t work with their own product.

Hi All,

I have been using a Logitech K380 with my Apple TV 4^th Generation for 
about two years. After going away for a couple weeks, when returning, 
that keyboard no longer works. The arrows yield no response and the 
Return key either does nothing or launches a different app that I am 
focused on. Since my keyboard was out of warranty, I decided to 
purchase the K780 which I know many use on this list. The same 
problems with unresponsive arrow keys are present on that keyboard. On 
my iPhone, the return key does not activate an app. Logitech says it 
is something Apple software modified. Is anybody successfully using am 
Apple TV 4^th Generation with either the K380 or K780?  If anyone can 
suggest another compatible keyboard, that would be appreciated.


Best,

Les

Logitech Keyboard and Apple TV 4th Generation

2023-10-20 Thread Les Kriegler
Hi All,

I have been using a Logitech K380 with my Apple TV 4th Generation for about
two years. After going away for a couple weeks, when returning, that
keyboard no longer works. The arrows yield no response and the Return key
either does nothing or launches a different app that I am focused on. Since
my keyboard was out of warranty, I decided to purchase the K780 which I know
many use on this list. The same problems with unresponsive arrow keys are
present on that keyboard. On my iPhone, the return key does not activate an
app. Logitech says it is something Apple software modified. Is anybody
successfully using am Apple TV 4th Generation with either the K380 or K780?
If anyone can suggest another compatible keyboard, that would be
appreciated.

Best,

 

Les

Hello Anouk,

No problem, always happy to discuss Sonos. I have actually downsized my Sonos 
system considerably. I used to have 3 stereo pairs of Sonos One speakers, a set 
of Sonos One SL which were my rear speakers in a setup with at first a Sonos 
Playbar and Gen 1 Sub and later with an Arc and Gen 3 Sub.
We also had a stereo pair of Play 5 in the bedroom, note these were the older, 
second generation Play 5 speakers which were replaced by the Sonos Five.
The Sonos One speakers I had set up as a stereo pair in the kitchen, another 
stereo pair in my woodworking shop and the third was and actually still is a 
stereo pair in our bathroom.
The first change was that we did a pretty major renovation to the upstairs of 
our house which consisted of a living room, kitchen, a short hallway, a guest 
bedroom, another smaller bedroom which I used as office and the slightly larger 
but still not very large master bedroom, and of course also a bathroom.
I started out by ripping out all interior walls from the living room and 
hallway to the guest bedroom as well as from the guest bedroom to the office 
and from the office to the master bedroom.
This left us with one large, slightly L-shaped area for the entire half of the 
upstairs which was not stairs, kitchen and bathroom, a little more than 700 
square feet as the entire house has a footprint of just under 1100 square feet.
We then partitioned off a new, larger master bedroom across the entire width of 
the house towards the backyard, still only about 11 feet wide, but 25 feet 
across. One one end I divided off about 4 feet which is now a walk-in clothet.
The new living room where we now use the part towards the front of the house as 
a dining area, is now about 14 feet wide by 30 feet long and on the other end 
towards the bedroom wall we set up our couches and a new 8-foot long 
custom-built entertainment unit. This has our 55-inch LG OLED TV mounted on a 
wall-mount in the centre with the middle of the screen at about head height 
when  you sit on the couch as it should be. This means it’s mounted a few 
inches higher than the Sonos Arc sound bar which sits in front of the Tv. 
Wall-mounted to each side of the main couch where we usually sit to watch TV is 
a set of Era 300’s as rear speakers and just to the right when you face the TV 
and at the end of the entertainment unit is the Sonos Sub sitting against the 
wall.
As I built an entirely new wall between the bedroom and living room, I planned 
for a set of in-wall speakers which are connected to a Sonos Amp for the 
bedroom. The are pretty much perfectly situated across from the bed and with th 
ebed right in between the speakers and of course before the drywall was 
installed I installed the speaker wire to the walk-in clothet where the Sonos 
Amp sits on a high shelf with an outlet right beside it.
In the bathroom we still have a wall-mounted stereo pair of Sonos One speakers.

RE: installing apple tv without a tv?

2023-10-08 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hello Anouk,

No problem, always happy to discuss Sonos. I have actually downsized my Sonos 
system considerably. I used to have 3 stereo pairs of Sonos One speakers, a set 
of Sonos One SL which were my rear speakers in a setup with at first a Sonos 
Playbar and Gen 1 Sub and later with an Arc and Gen 3 Sub.
We also had a stereo pair of Play 5 in the bedroom, note these were the older, 
second generation Play 5 speakers which were replaced by the Sonos Five.
The Sonos One speakers I had set up as a stereo pair in the kitchen, another 
stereo pair in my woodworking shop and the third was and actually still is a 
stereo pair in our bathroom.
The first change was that we did a pretty major renovation to the upstairs of 
our house which consisted of a living room, kitchen, a short hallway, a guest 
bedroom, another smaller bedroom which I used as office and the slightly larger 
but still not very large master bedroom, and of course also a bathroom.
I started out by ripping out all interior walls from the living room and 
hallway to the guest bedroom as well as from the guest bedroom to the office 
and from the office to the master bedroom.
This left us with one large, slightly L-shaped area for the entire half of the 
upstairs which was not stairs, kitchen and bathroom, a little more than 700 
square feet as the entire house has a footprint of just under 1100 square feet.
We then partitioned off a new, larger master bedroom across the entire width of 
the house towards the backyard, still only about 11 feet wide, but 25 feet 
across. One one end I divided off about 4 feet which is now a walk-in clothet.
The new living room where we now use the part towards the front of the house as 
a dining area, is now about 14 feet wide by 30 feet long and on the other end 
towards the bedroom wall we set up our couches and a new 8-foot long 
custom-built entertainment unit. This has our 55-inch LG OLED TV mounted on a 
wall-mount in the centre with the middle of the screen at about head height 
when  you sit on the couch as it should be. This means it’s mounted a few 
inches higher than the Sonos Arc sound bar which sits in front of the Tv. 
Wall-mounted to each side of the main couch where we usually sit to watch TV is 
a set of Era 300’s as rear speakers and just to the right when you face the TV 
and at the end of the entertainment unit is the Sonos Sub sitting against the 
wall.
As I built an entirely new wall between the bedroom and living room, I planned 
for a set of in-wall speakers which are connected to a Sonos Amp for the 
bedroom. The are pretty much perfectly situated across from the bed and with th 
ebed right in between the speakers and of course before the drywall was 
installed I installed the speaker wire to the walk-in clothet where the Sonos 
Amp sits on a high shelf with an outlet right beside it.
In the bathroom we still have a wall-mounted stereo pair of Sonos One speakers.
As I don’t do as much woodworking any more as I used to do , I didn’t feel the 
need to have a stereo pair of Sonos One speakers in my shop, we didn’t need the 
stereo pair of Play 5 speakers any more which were in our bedroom, the Sonos 
One SL stereo pair we had as rear speakers got replaced with the Era 300’s and 
in the kitchen I felt we didn’t need a permanent stereo pair of Sonos Ones, 
either. So I ended up selling the two pairs of Sonos One and the pair of Sonos 
One SL as well as my stereo pair of Play 5.
I always had a Sonos Move and added a second one setting them up as a stereo 
pair in the kitchen and as they are battery operated speakers, this would of 
course allow me to also bring them to my workshop or outside if I wanted.
I recently bought a new set of the Sonos Move 2 and I’ll probably sell my set 
of the original Moves, one is from when they first came out and the other I 
only bought last February or March so it’s only just over half a year old.
I also have a single Sonos Roam which currently sits on it’s magnetic charging 
base in the bedroom, but it’s probably the one Sonos product I use the least so 
I’ll probably sell it as well.
This means we are down to the following 4 zones/rooms:
Living room: Sonos Arc, set of Era 300 and Sonos Sub with the Arc being 
connected to the EARC HDMI port of our LG 55-Inch C2 OLED TV
Bedroom: Sonos Amp connected to a somewhat higher-end set of Paradigm E80 
in-wall speakers and in time I will probably add a Sub Mini to that room
Bathroom: stereo pair of Sonos Ones
Kitchen as well as my shop and outside: a stereo pair of Sonos Move 2

RE: installing apple tv without a tv?

2023-10-08 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
And I just re-read your message and realized you asked specifically about using 
an Apple TV connected directly to Sonos.
Sorry for missing it the first time, you spelled “appletv” as one single word 
and hearing it with Jaws it didn’t sound much like “Apple TV”.
Anyways, to my knowledge the Apple TV’s HDMI output has to be connected to a 
TV; I tried connecting it once to my Sonos Arc and I got nothing.
Maybe there are settings you can change to make this work, I just never 
bothered a lot because my wife is sighted so we have a fairly new LG OLED smart 
TV and I never watch/listen to a movie by myself; we do enjoy some movies 
together, but if I am by myself I’ll prefer a good audio book any day.
You may want to call Sonos support and ask if there is a work-around, 
potentially you could get it to work using one of these “Hdfury Arcana” 
adapters, they aren’t cheap, but here is the description from their website 
followed by the link:

WORLD’S FIRST eARC adapter that allows FULL AUDIO up to Dolby Atmos over TrueHD 
from ANY external HDMI source to ANY eARC sound system
Perfect solution for SONOS Arc and ANY eARC AVR, soundbar or headphones.

In other words, if you have a Sonos Arc which I can’t quite figure out from 
your message, this adapter would probably allow you to connect your Apple TV 
which would be considered the “external HDMI source” directly to your Sonos 
Arc, but once again, I don’t have one of these gadgets so I can’t guaranty it 
will work. Here is the link to their website:

Hdfury Arcana<https://www.hdfury.eu/shop/hdfury-arcana/>

Hi this might sound like a strange question. I have 2 era300s now from sonos

RE: installing apple tv without a tv?

2023-10-08 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
First of all, two Era 300 speakers will not generate a “surround” system. You 
will get stereo sound with some spacial music features, but for a true surround 
system you need at least a Sonos Arc (or Beam 2) soundbar and a set of rear 
speakers and for that the Era 300 will give you the best possible sound if you 
are able to stream Dolby Atmos content. Ideally you would have at least one 
Sonos Sub as part of that system as well, the setup can support up to two Sonos 
Subs.
Now, as for streaming Netflix and Disney Plus there is only one option as far 
as I know if you don’t own either a smart TV or an Apple TV connected to a TV 
which in turn is again connected to a Dolby Atmos capable Sonos sound bar via 
an EARC port (that stands for enhanced audio return channel),.. That option 
would be to play your movie on your iPhone or of course on an iPad and to then 
send it to your Era 300 speakers via Airplay. I guess considering that the Era 
300 does have a USB-C input which requires a special adapter from Sonos, you 
could potentially connect your iPhone or an iPad to them with a cable although 
I am not sure what if any advantages that would give you.
The Sonos app itself give you access to the largest collection of free and paid 
music services I have seen in such platforms, but there is no native way to 
stream Netflix or Disney Plus or even YouTube, anything which involves video 
has to come from a TV and a connected Sonos sound bar.
Having said all this listening to a movie which you sent to your set of Era 300 
speakers via Airplay would still sound very nice, but you would not get a true 
surround sound let alone Dolby Atmos experience.

VO volume in Apple TV

2023-09-30 Thread agent086b
Hi all,
since updating to TV17 I have noticed the VO volume is quite soft.
If increase the volume it makes the TV volume very loud.
I can’t seem to get the volume to work separately to the TV like on the phone.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Slightly Off Topic regarding deleting an app on the Apple TV

2023-09-16 Thread Debbie Downey
Hello,

 

Sorry if this isn't exactly iPhone related; just wondering if anyone knows
how to delete an app from the Apple TV 4K 2nd generation using Voiceover?? I
don't want to offload an app or save it in the library but completely delete
it.

 

Thank you!

 

Debbie

Hello Patti,

I have not done any research on the latest model of the Apple TV but I suspect 
that the difference in the size of the port, located  on the bottom of the Siri 
remote is because it is a USBC port and not a Lightening port.

Apple, slowly but surely is switching from Lightening to USBC because USBC is 
more compatible on a global stage.

You will have to purchase a new cable in order to charge your new Siri remote.

While I applaud Apple's adoption of a more universal standard, given my, 
already sizable investment in the Apple Orchard, switching from Lightening to 
USBC will be a bit costly.

Fortunately for me, as I use an Android phone, I already own a few USBC 
adaptors and cables.

As for how Apple packages the Apple TV?  You are not missing anything.  That is 
just the way it is.

as the older Apple tv I have, its charge port is bigger, so I can't use my 
phone charger to charge it up.

I opened the box and fount at the bottom ov it two boxes and one is literally 
glued to the bottom of the box everything came in, why would they do that?

Pardon me if I am misssing something here, but is there something I need to 
know that makes the 4K Apple tv setup and remote different than the older model?

This one has the button on the right of the remote, and I am assuming that is 
the siri button?

What am I missing here?

Thanks.

RE: The New Apple TV

2022-12-27 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
For many people it won't really be an investment since USB-C is being adopted 
more and more as the universal standard for connectivity and charging and it's 
not like a wall charger or two and a few cables are going to break the bank.

Subject: RE: The New Apple TV

Hello Patti,

I have not done any research on the latest model of the Apple TV but I suspect 
that the difference in the size of the port, located  on the bottom of the Siri 
remote is because it is a USBC port and not a Lightening port.

Apple, slowly but surely is switching from Lightening to USBC because USBC is 
more compatible on a global stage.

You will have to purchase a new cable in order to charge your new Siri remote.

While I applaud Apple's adoption of a more universal standard, given my, 
already sizable investment in the Apple Orchard, switching from Lightening to 
USBC will be a bit costly.

Fortunately for me, as I use an Android phone, I already own a few USBC 
adaptors and cables.

As for how Apple packages the Apple TV?  You are not missing anything.  That is 
just the way it is.

Mark

RE: Is Apple TV the best device to control YouTube TV?

2022-12-15 Thread M. Taylor
Hello David,

Just to be clear, YouTube / YouTube Premium  is a completely different product 
/ service than YouTube TV.

As to your question, when viewing a YouTube video, I usually count to 5, after 
the video starts, then single-finger swipe to the right, once, in order to land 
on the "this ad can now be skipped", button.  As of today, at least, this 
method has proven to be reliable.

On a related note, what's quickest way to ditch youtube ads on iOS or iPad OS? 
The button for skipping ads moves around a lot. Yes, I could pay for youtube 
premium, but I usually only click 2 or 3 channels regularly so it's kind of not 
worth the $11 especially since I'd rather support the creators without paying 
google where I can. Thank you, I'm sure I missed this in some other thread and 
searching the archive for this may not be helpful as the youtube app gets 
updated practically daily.

Hello,

Do not be afraid of cancelling your cable service.

I have been using YouTube TV since 2020 and I can tell you that the VoiceOver 
accessibility just keeps getting better and better on Apple TV.  

I also enjoy my YouTube TV service on my iPad whenever I travel and the 
experience is extremely VoiceOver accessible.  

In fact, I will go so far as to say that if there is an area of the YouTube TV 
service that is not VoiceOver accessible, I have yet to discover it on either 
my Apple TV or iPad.

Before you subscribe, however, be certain to go to tv.youtube.com to make 
certain that the channels you want are on offer.

Also, please know that you can always download the various apps for many 
channels that may not be currently offered on YouTube TV.

Is Apple TV the best device to control YouTube TV?

2022-12-15 Thread crcarlson2000
Is Apple TV  the best device to control YouTube TV. Can voice be used to
easily change channels on the live TV tab. Should I consider another device?
Any other points that I should consider in the midst of cancelling my cable
service and moving to the YouTube alternative?

 

Thanks

RE: apple tv question

2022-12-06 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Jed,

I was just wondering what your solution was to your dilemma.  Are you able to 
access the Apple TV app on your new Smart TV? Or are you continuing to use your 
physical Apple TV?  If you are using the Apple TV app on your Smart TV, which 
model television are you using?

Just curious.

I hope you are well and are enjoying your new television.

Mark

RE: apple tv question

2022-12-02 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Jed, unless you list the exact model of smart TV you have nobody can tell you 
what you need. The fact is that most smart TV's have apps for the major 
streaming services preinstalled, e.g. Netflix, Disney Plus, Apple TV, Prime 
Video etc. Furthermore most smart TV's have their own app store where you can 
download additional apps if they are available for the platform your TV uses. 
The most common ones would be Roku, Web OS (that is LG) and Google TV (Sony and 
many others). Also most new smart TV's have some sort of screenreader built in, 
but how well it works you would have to try and I would venture a claim which 
is that most likely the Apple TV box with Voiceover probably is still the best 
experience for a blind person.
We have one of the higher-end LG OLED TV's, the C-series although ours is from 
2 years ago and there are new ones this year, but we also still have just 
bought a new Applt TV 4K, also the one which was released this year. Partly we 
also do this because it acts as a hub for Apple Home Kit and if you buy the 128 
Gb version which I believe is $149.99 in the US you get a device which also has 
an ethernet port and is capable of thread networking which may or may not 
become important in the years to come. This is a protocol used by the new 
"Matter" smart home standard and Apple, Google and I believe Amazon have all 
signed on and said they will support it. Basically if you have a thread network 
capable device such as an Apple TV or a router (many of the new routers are 
also thread network enabled) then connected home devices can talk directly to 
each other without having to go out over WiFi.
This is of course just a simple explanation, if you want to know more you can 
Google it as there are many articles available about Matter and thread 
networking.
Also, if you, for example, have a Sonos Arc which can play Dolby Atmos and you 
want to take advantage of Apple Music songs which are encoded for Dolby Atmos 
(special audio) you have to play them on your Apple TV which is connected to 
the Sonos Arc soundbar via the TV. You can play Apple Music directly from the 
Sonos app, but at least at this point you don't get special audio that way.

Re: Apple TV without a physical screen - Results

2022-12-02 Thread Feliciano Godoy
I don’t know the technicalities, but based on my research, maybe the arc input 
on the television does the conversion where it strips the video from the TV. I 
just started learning on this from this thread and research.

In the past I used an HDMI to audio extractor by this company Cablematters. 
This device will allow you to utilize your apple tv headless (without a tv)



I bought it on Amazon, it was listed as Cablematters 4k HDMI to audio extractor 
at the time. This particular unit has HDMI input where you would connect the 
Apple TV and has optical and 3.5MM  output which can be connected to TV/ 
headphones/ Speakers for audio only.



Amazon basics also has a version, you just have to make sure it has the outputs 
you need.

There should be no reason why the smart TV cannot download the Apple TV plus

Since we got our smart TV, the physical Apple TV has been mostly collecting 
dust; though my wife used it on occasion in her sowing room. Though now she has 
a Roku stick on that not quite as smart of a smart tv...

apple tv question

2022-12-02 Thread Jed Barton
Hey guys,
Hope all is well.  Hoping some of you can help.  I have a super old apple tv.
Now, I ahve a new smart tv.  Do I need a physical apple tv any more,
or is there just an app I would install?
I'm so far out of the loop when it comes to apple tv.  1 of the things
I have watched a lot os pluto tv.  Would I need the pluto tv app, or
would I just access it all through the apple tv app?  If someone can
help, that would be awesome.

Cheers,

Jed

Yes,
That’s why the apple

Tv doesn’t work. ARC only wants audio hence audio return channel. That’s why I 
think the converter I recommended will work.

Gary,

In the past I used an HDMI to audio extractor by this company Cablematters. 
This device will allow you to utilize your apple tv headless (without a tv)



I bought it on Amazon, it was listed as Cablematters 4k HDMI to audio extractor 
at the time. This particular unit has HDMI input where you would connect the 
Apple TV and has optical and 3.5MM  output which can be connected to TV/ 
headphones/ Speakers for audio only.



Amazon basics also has a version, you just have to make sure it has the outputs 
you need.

RE: Apple TV without a physical screen - Results

2022-12-01 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hello Gary,



I received the new Apple TV 4K today and while I didn't try to connect it yet 
directly to my Arc, I did try to connect my old Apple TV HD (4th generation) to 
my Sonos Amp. Here is what I got when I opened the Sonos app, selected Bedroom 
(where my Sonos Amp is located) and then I selected "TV":



We detected an issue with your HDMI connection. We'll help you fix it.

Fix it button

Close button

So I double tapped on "Fix It" and the following screen came up:

Let's get your Sonos Amp connected to your TV

Continue button

I tapped on Continue and the next screen came up:

Turn on your TV, then plug the HDMI cable into the ARC port. Then I had the 
following 3 options:

Connected to ARC button

Can't find ARC button

Close button

So I tapped on "Connected to ARC" and after it said "connecting" for a few 
seconds, the next message came up:

HDMI ARC not detected. Make sure the HDMI cable is connected to the ARC port 
and your TV is on.

Try Again button

Close button

No ARC port? You need to use an optical audio adapter.



So apparently connecting an Apple TV directly to a Sonos device via HDMI simply 
won't work. One could argue that this is silly, but then again let's remember 
how extremely specialized this is to the visually impaired/blind customer base 
since I just can't see any sighted person at all wanting to do this. If they 
did and it actually worked they would have to use Voiceover in order to 
navigate their Apple TV and I really can't imagine a sighted person wanting to 
do this. In any case, all the music services are pretty much available directly 
through the Sonos app and when it comes to "listening" to TV audio I don't have 
to point out how pointless that would seem to sighted people.



If you did have or buy a Sonos Amp then you would have an optical audio input 
available and I assume if you had an "optical audio converter" as the Sonos app 
suggests, you would probably be successful in getting audio from the Apple TV 
into your Sonos system. I don't want it bad enough to go out there and buy an 
optical audio adapter to try it, but in any case, since the Sonos Beam only has 
an HDMI input that really wouldn't be an option.
I may at some point unplug the new Apple TV from my LG OLED TV and plug it 
directly into the Arc to see if I get the same message. But I am pretty sure I 
would and I don't have a lot of time until at least the beginning of the new 
year so it won't be any time soon. I guess if you really wanted to listen to 
Netflix, Disney, Prime Video or other TV channels on your Sonos Beam then you 
could always splay the content on your iPhone and then send it to the Beam via 
Airplay.





Best regards and good luck,

Sieghard

Well I  picked up a  SONOS Beam 2  last week and connected it to my APPLE TV 4K 
latest version.



I  set up the Beam and plugged it into the EARC port on my LG TV and it worked 
ok. I switched everything off and re-plugged the Beam into  the HDMI port on 
the APPLE TV using the SONOS cable which they confirmed supported EARC etc.



The results - nothing! I  couldn't get a sound out of the APPLE TV, needless to 
say as soon as I  re-plugged it into the back of my LG  TV it came alive with 
Voiceover etc so the APPLE TV was working fine.



I  have been doing some GOOGling around and found an APPLE support article 
which seemed to suggest that you could plug the APPLE TV into a sound bar to 
get DOLBY Audio sound.



When I had the APPLE TV plugged into the LG I had a look around the settings 
under video/sound but couldn't find any reference to immersive audio or DOLBY 
Audio.  The article suggested that if this was the case your surround equipment 
settings needed checking.  Presumably in this case this means the BEAM.



Any suggestions?





Thanks





Gary

Hi Feliciano,

I  already know that the APPLE TV does not need to be connected to a  TV 
as such since it works perfectly well plugged into my Meridian HDMI 
switch which fronts my surround processor regardless of whether the TV 
is on or off. I  think it just needs to be able to "see" a  device 
capable of handling a video signal at the other end.


I've ordered one  of the HDMI audio extractors and will give it a try 
with my NAIM  MUSO which supports analogue and optical digital inputs.


Thanks for your efforts as you say APPLE don't necessarily know all the 
answers especially when it comes to connecting to third party equipment.


I'll let you know when I get the converter this weekend what happens.

Gary,

In the past I used an HDMI to audio extractor by this company 
Cablematters. This device will allow you to utilize your apple tv 
headless (without a tv)


I bought it on Amazon, it was listed as Cablematters 4k HDMI to 
audio extractor at the time. This particular unit has HDMI input 
where you would connect the Apple TV and has optical and 3.5MM 
output which can be connected to TV/ headphones/ Speakers for audio 
only.


Amazon basics also has a version, you just have to make sure it has 
the outputs you need.

Hi,
Just because Apple does not  have  a solution does not mean that there isn’t 
one. People have achieved many solutions with hex like converters. You can try 
the one that I mentioned in the email prior to this.

That would work fine if you had a speaker which accepts either optical or

I didn't check, but maybe there is an audio extractor which accepts HDMI input 
and also has an HDMI output and that said HDMI output is maybe an older HDMI 
standard which the soundbar recognizes. I am actually surprised hooking the 
Apple TV 4K directly up to the Sonos Beam does not work.

RE: Apple TV without a physical screen - Results

2022-11-30 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Both Beam and Arc have only an HDMI input, the older Sonos Playbar and I 
believe the Playbase connected to the TV with an optical cable and I believe 
the small Sonos Ray soundbar also has an optical input.

I should get my new Apple TV 4K this week so I'll also play around with it 
hooking it up directly to our Arc, but in our case it doesn't really matter 
since I practically never watch or listen to the TV unless it's with my sighted 
wife and then of course the TV is on as well.

If a direct connection between the Apple TV and the Sonos Beam really doesn't 
work without a TV in between then the only option might be to have some sort of 
splitter which extracts the audio but then you still have to have something you 
can direct this audio stream to and unless you have another splitter on the 
Beam which allows you to hook up an optical cable from the first splitter then 
you may have to have a Sonos Port. The Port has rCA analogue inputs and outputs 
as well as a Coax digital input and output, but as long as you could get the 
audio into the Port, you could then group it with your Beam and play the audio 
from the Apple TV that way.

But it would involve a significant amount of gadgets and fiddling around and to 
me it would not be worth it.

Alternatively one could try to find out if a Sonos Amp which has an HDMI input 
could receive audio from an Apple TV if it were directly connected. Then Gary 
could put a Sonos Amp with either bookshelf speakers or in-wall or in-ceiling 
speakers into the bedroom.

I can also test this since we have a Sonos Amp and in-wall speakers in our 
bedroom so before I put my new Apple TV in its final resting place inside my 
entertainment cabinet, I could certainly hook it up to the Sonos Amp and see 
what happens. Fort hat matter, I could try this also with our older first 
generation Apple TV HD, I believe they called it the fourth generation Apple TV 
and it came out in 2015 after the Apple TV third Gen was discontinued. I 
thought we already had the first generation Apple TV 4K, but when I checked the 
model number which is A1625 and I looked it up I realized we bought it in 2015 
and it's just the apple TV HD.

I now ordered the latest Apple TV 4K with 128 Gb of RAM simply because the

Subject: RE: Apple TV without a physical screen - Results



When we first got our Apple TV 3rd generation, I had to get an optical audio 
converter to get the sound to go through our then stereo receiver and not the 
TV speaker only.  This was before we got Sonos products and a Smart TV and 
stopped using the physical Apple TV.



I wonder if you need something like that to direct the audio through the 
soundbar?



Though, I don't know what inputs the Beam2 has, if it is just the HDMI port, 
then that idea may not work.

Well I  picked up a  SONOS Beam 2  last week and connected it to my APPLE TV 4K 
latest version.



I  set up the Beam and plugged it into the EARC port on my LG TV and it worked 
ok. I switched everything off and re-plugged the Beam into  the HDMI port on 
the APPLE TV using the SONOS cable which they confirmed supported EARC etc.



The results - nothing! I  couldn't get a sound out of the APPLE TV, needless to 
say as soon as I  re-plugged it into the back of my LG  TV it came alive with 
Voiceover etc so the APPLE TV was working fine.



I  have been doing some GOOGling around and found an APPLE support article 
which seemed to suggest that you could plug the APPLE TV into a sound bar to 
get DOLBY Audio sound.



When I had the APPLE TV plugged into the LG I had a look around the settings 
under video/sound but couldn't find any reference to immersive audio or DOLBY 
Audio.  The article suggested that if this was the case your surround equipment 
settings needed checking.  Presumably in this case this means the BEAM.

Hi,

For what it is worth, I do have my Apple TV plugged into the HDMI port of my 
receiver.  This is a Marantz receiver.  This works fine with the Apple device 
and does not require my TV to be connected or on for the Apple device to work.  
The Apple device is the newest 4K unit.

I don't have a physical Apple TV, I just use the app on my iPhone or our Smart

RE: apple TV question

2022-11-23 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Most new smart TV's have the Apple TV app, however while many smart TV's now 
have some sort of screenreader and accessibility, I still question if they can 
match an actual Apple TV with respect to accessibility.
As for downloading an Apple TV app I doubt that is possible, either your smart 
TV has Apple TV or it does not.
Keep in mind that The Apple TV 4K as in the physical device is m ore than the 
Apple TV service. You can access other things like Netflix, Disney Plus, Apple 
Music and so on via your Apple TV and you can also use the Netflix app, Disney 
Plus app and so on which are built in to your smart TV. For that matter you 
could get a Roku TV stick for $20 or $30 and you also get access to all of 
that. There is a lot of duplication so you just have to decide what you think 
you need in order to accomplish what you want to accomplish. The Apple TV 4K 
which was just recently released is not all that expensive, but if all you do 
is watch Netflix and Disney Plus and you find you can do this accessibly 
through your TV then you probably don't need it.

Yes, they do have good deals for those who are not yet invested in Sonos. I was 
hoping to get the 20% off the new Sub Mini, but no such luck, the only deal I 
saw here in Canada is a little over 10% off and then you have to buy it with a 
set of Sonos One or Sonos SL speakers and I don't need them. Oh well, I think I 
may have some older Sonos One first generation speakers and I could use the 15% 
upgrade credit Sonos offers to buy a Sub Mini and then sell them since I 
currently have more Sonos speakers than I really need or use.

arrived last week.

I  was so impressed with the new unit, both the well thought out remote and the

Question about using Apple TV remote app

2022-11-22 Thread Amy Ruell
Hello all,

Have any of you used this app? I am using it for the first time today and
have found the following using my iPhone 14 pro.

If I open the app and go to the "gestures area" I have no navigability.
Buttons labeled "channel up" and channel down" have no impact. I don't seem
to be able to select channels. Is there an alternative app I can use?

Thanks.

Yes, they do have good deals for those who are not yet invested in Sonos. I was 
hoping to get the 20% off the new Sub Mini, but no such luck, the only deal I 
saw here in Canada is a little over 10% off and then you have to buy it with a 
set of Sonos One or Sonos SL speakers and I don't need them. Oh well, I think I 
may have some older Sonos One first generation speakers and I could use the 15% 
upgrade credit Sonos offers to buy a Sub Mini and then sell them since I 
currently have more Sonos speakers than I really need or use.

Hello all,

Thanks for the feedback. I originally had the old Apple TV HD with its some 
what quirky remote and decided to upgrade to the very latest 4K version which 
arrived last week.

I  was so impressed with the new unit, both the well thought out remote and the 
speed of the box, I  gather the new processor in this unit is some 30% faster 
than the older 4K unit, that I decided to see if I could create a sound only 
system.

I  intend to pick up a  Sonos beam  as there are some good deals this Black 
Friday and will report back on what happens.

I want to buy more Sonos gear but I can't justify it. Currently I have 2 play 
fives with a sub in the man cave, a sub, play base and two Sonos ones in the 
livingroom for our surround sound, a play 3 in the kitchen, another one of 
those bad boys in the basement, a Sonos connect in the master bedroom connected

RE: app switcher on apple tv

Thank you Ed.

 

I also had a problem with closing the apps in TVOS 16 and the hints that were 
given didn’t work; there is no action menu in the rotor for that to work and 
that is what was suggested.

Hello,

 

It depends on what remote you’re using. If it’s the old school remote or the 
new Siri Remote, you’ll have to triple click the Up button to close the first 
app and then you can click the up button twice on each app after that to close. 
If you’re using the original Siri Remote, you’ll have to swipe up twice on the 
track pad. This will close the applications.

 

I hope this helps,

You should be able to get an HDMI to Optical adapter. Which soundbar do you 
have, is it a Sonos? If so it must be the older Playbar or the Playbase, those 
were connected to the TV with an optical connection.

Yes, it would work because that is what receivers are made for just as HDMI 
inputs on TV's are made for this. 
Anyways, I have a feeling with the secondor third generation Apple TV 4K you 
will be able to plug it straight into a Sonos Beam or Arc, but hopefully Gary 
will report back once he has picked up his Beam and tried it.

Hi,

For what it is worth, I do have my Apple TV plugged into the HDMI port of my 
receiver.  This is a Marantz receiver.  This works fine with the Apple device 
and does not require my TV to be connected or on for the Apple device to work.  
The Apple device is the newest 4K unit.

RE: Apple TV without a physical screen?

Yes, they do have good deals for those who are not yet invested in Sonos. I was 
hoping to get the 20% off the new Sub Mini, but no such luck, the only deal I 
saw here in Canada is a little over 10% off and then you have to buy it with a 
set of Sonos One or Sonos SL speakers and I don't need them. Oh well, I think I 
may have some older Sonos One first generation speakers and I could use the 15% 
upgrade credit Sonos offers to buy a Sub Mini and then sell them since I 
currently have more Sonos speakers than I really need or use.

Hello all,

Thanks for the feedback. I originally had the old Apple TV HD with its some 
what quirky remote and decided to upgrade to the very latest 4K version which 
arrived last week.

I  was so impressed with the new unit, both the well thought out remote and the 
speed of the box, I  gather the new processor in this unit is some 30% faster 
than the older 4K unit, that I decided to see if I could create a sound only 
system.

I  intend to pick up a  Sonos beam  as there are some good deals this Black 
Friday and will report back on what happens.
