Re: about apple tv
Traci, So far anything they have added that I use personally has been perfectly accessible. Note that there are some channels they've added where you have to be subscribed via one of the cable or satellite providers that are on their list. Unfortunately, DirecTv isn't one of them so I can't comment on those additions but I'm willing to bet they are just as accessible.

Re: about apple tv
Hi, If you leave it sitting at the setup screen for long enough, it speaks instructions for turning on vo - it doesn't turn it on automaticly, but it assumes that the user has a sight problem and that you can't read the screen so you will need the oppertunity to turn on speech. To answer your other questions: it doesn't have to be linked with your Apple ID although more functionality is available if you do so and yes, every now and again it does receive firmware updates. For example, the latest one drasticly decreased the quality of the UK English voice, to the point where I have had to switch to US English because the UK voice has for me become unbareable.

Re: about apple tv
Hi MamaPeach I am not pretty sure, but I think that the apple TV comes with a remote control? Now, if it is true, how voice over is handled with a remote control, if we are reaching buttons to know what voice over is doing? You know, to select a function on our phones, we select the button that we want, and we make a double tab on what ever we want. But in a remote control, how is it? is a way to use it with our iPhones? - Original Message - From: MamaPeach mamape...@charter.net To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, December 17, 2013 8:43 AM Subject: Re: about apple tv I totally love the Apple TV.

RE: about apple tv
Pablo, There are only 3 buttons on the remote of the Apple TV: At the top is one big button which is Enter/Select if you press the middle part, if you press the top, bottom, left or right edge it is up, down, left and right arrow and they move you through the menus and the on-screen keyboard if you need to type something like your Apple Id or Password. Underneath that big button are 2 side by side buttons: the left is the Menu/Back button and the right is the Play/Pause button. The menu structure is pretty simple, e.g. Movies, Music, Comoputer, Settings etc. You just arrow around and press the middle part of the big button to select something. If you want to enter text it's a bit slow using the remote, you basically get the alphabet and have to arrow around until you find the letter you want, then press enter/select. Keep in mind that you can also use a Bluetooth keyboard with the Apple TV, you can just use your arrow keys to move around and enter to select. The big advantage is that if you want to enter text to search form something you can just type it on the Bluetooth keyboard, it works great. Also keep in mind that Apple gives you 30 days to return something you buy. The Apple TV is only $99, so not a super expensive item and if you order it online and want to return it you just have to call them up and they'll send you a label to return it, won't cost you a dime. Of course if you are near an Apple Store you can just buy one there and return it for an immediate refund after you play around with it for 3 weeks or so.

Re: about apple tv
Hi, You may be talking about a couple of different things here: It is possible to start content playing on the Apple TV from your iPhone using airPlay - E.G. you can find a song in your iTunes library or on your network via your iPhone and then stream it to the TV without interacting with the TV at all. It is also possible to control the Apple TV using an iPhone instead of the remote; this is the root that I took for the first couple of days when I got my Apple TV because the remote is fairly small and could quite easily get lost. However, for me, it is *much* easier to control it using the physical remote, instead of the remote app. Cheers, Ben. On 12/18/13, Pablo Morales pablomorale...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Sieghard.

Re: about apple tv
Just to add to this, I also found the Apple TV remote to be quite small and easily lost so I used the Apple TV's ability to pair another remote. It can be any remote just about that you might have laying around. The process of programming the remote to work with the Apple TV is very easy and perfectly accessible.

Re: about apple TV
I don't have an Apple TV, but you may want to check out http://www.apple.com/appletv/what-is/ while you're waiting for someone to answer your question who has an Apple TV. My understanding though is that you don't use Apple TV to access your local TV stations or content from your local cable TV provider. Apple TV gives you access to content on iTunes, NetFlix and other such streaming content providers. It also works with AirPlay so you can send content from your iPhone or your Mac over to your Apple TV.

Underneath that big button are 2 side by side buttons: the left is the Menu/Back button and the right is the Play/Pause button. The menu structure is pretty simple, e.g. Movies, Music, Comoputer, Settings etc. You just arrow around and press the middle part of the big button to select something. If you want to enter text it's a bit slow using the remote, you basically get the alphabet and have to arrow around until you find the letter you want, then press enter/select. Keep in mind that you can also use a Bluetooth keyboard with the Apple TV, you can just use your arrow keys to move around and enter to select. The big advantage is that if you want to enter text to search form something you can just type it on the Bluetooth keyboard, it works great. Also keep in mind that Apple gives you 30 days to return something you buy. The Apple TV is only $99, so not a super expensive item and if you order it online and want to return it you just have to call them up and they'll send you a label to return it, won't cost you a dime. Of course if you are near an Apple Store you can just buy one there and return it for an immediate refund after you play around with it for 3 weeks or so.

Re: about apple tv
Hi Pablo, Yes, the Remote app from Apple works just fine and allows you to use your Apple TV from your iPHone. HTH and happiest of holidays to you and yours!

Re: about apple tv
hmmm, it is not that I want. Is another device that allows me to connect to my computer via wifi and that allows me to play the content that I have in my hard drive? - Original Message - From: Ben Mustill-Rose b...@benmr.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, December 15, 2013 2:07 PM Subject: Re: about apple tv Hi, That's correct; unfortunately the format has to be one that iTunes can work with.

Re: about apple tv
Hi, If you want complete accessibility, unfortunately the only two ways to go are Apple TV or a dedicated media center PC connected directly to the TV. The Apple TV works best for people who subscribe to the Apple ecosystem as you have noticed and the dedicated computer approach is over kill for most people. I upgraded the hard drive in an old netbook and repurposed it as an iTunes server; it sits in our atic serving content to the Apple TV and also runs a DLNA server for some other devices. I'm not a fan of the approach that Apple have taken with the Apple TV but I have to admit my setup generally works pretty well. Cheers, Ben.
