Yes, I remember seeeing posts on this but I think it may have just been a rumour? I've never known anyone to be able to get that command to work. I think the issue is deeper than that though, there's no sound at all coming from my Apple TV meaning that usually when you press a button

Micro USB slot on Apple TV 2 is not meant to be used by users, but by technicians or developers. It can be used to obtain device logs, install betas, and a few other things (none of which most users will ever do). Kevin On 9/6/11, Mrs. Lynnette Annabel Smith ly...@mac-access.net wrote: Hello

If you don't have a tv, I don't see any value in purchasing an apple tv, since in order to enjoy services like netflix, you do need to have the apple tv connected to a tv, not just to a stereo, or it won't play movies. Or such has been my experience anyway. You can hook an airport express
