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.
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
There should be no reason why the smart TV cannot download the Apple TV plus
app.
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...
Your new TV will probably have the ability to download an Apple TV app. If that
app is accessible and you can find your way around it, you won’t need to buy a
new Apple TV. The Apple serve. Hope this helps.

If your TV has an Apple TV app that you can install, you can use that without
having to purchase an Apple TV, as long as the app is accessible.

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.

I do not think that is possible, unless you can install the Stream app from
Comcast on the Apple TV.
I believe their accessibility people may know the answer quickly.

Unfortunately, you can’t read character by character with the Apple TV. Wish
