Re: watching NETFLIX or Directv and doing other things

2016-12-01 Thread Kliphton Miller 
This is not exactly true.  If you are watching something with video, and you 
exit the app, yes the video and audio will stop playing.  But if you don’t 
close the app in the app switcher, and do the 2 finger double tap to start 
music, the audio from your video app will play in the background.  I know this 
is true for the xfinity app, and netflix for sure, can’t speak to any other app 
as I have not tried it with them.  HTH

RE: watching NETFLIX or Directv and doing other things

2016-12-01 Thread Sieghard Weitzel 
To me it makes much more sense to own an iPhone and an Apple TV compared to an 
iPhone and iPad. There is of course nothing wrong in having an iPhone and iPad, 
but I just find I'd rather have one device than two, but the Apple TV which 
just sits there and it's a dedicated device with probably the best interface 
for Netflix and Youtube just makes sense to me. Also as somebody who likes the 
home automation stuff and is looking at getting more of it the Apple TV via its 
SIRI capable remote will be a hub for all Apple Home Kit enabled home 
automation devices. I just bought a bunch of Philips Hue bulbs and the bridge 
(received some bulbs today, but still waiting for the bridge) and down the road 
I want to get either the August or Schlage smart lock both of which are Home 
Kit enabled. For people who don't have something like a Sonos system the Apple 
TV can also be a great way to play music from an Apple Music subscription and 
if you want to show videos or photos to sighted family or friends there is 
nothing better.

Regards,
Sieghard

It is not correct about an Apple TV and a keyboard. AppleTV 
fourth-generation works with Bluetooth keyboards and voiceover. Probably not 
with the braille display, although I don't know that for absolutely sure. As 
for doing other things while  watching Netflix or DirecTV, I don't think you 
can. It wouldn't make any sense, because sighted people need to be looking 
at the screen while they do these things. So having the app run in the 
background with no picture showing would be useless.
