RE: Question about third generation Apple TV

2015-12-05 Thread Tom Rash 
I don't remember specifically, but I'm pretty sure that with the third you
could listen to Netflix through your stereo without the TV on.  You will
probably need the digital to analog converter.  The optical audio cord will
plug into that.

Hi marry,

Yes, you need a video signal in order to play Netflix on the 3rd generation
Apple TV.

Hi Mary,

One thing you don't get on the second generation Apple TV any more is Youtube. 
At some point last year it just disappeared one day never to return.

I gave a link in an AppleVis.com thread about the Apple TV. I am sorry that I 
don't have the name of the little box, but it cost about thirty dollars. A 
search on AppleVis will turn up a thread where I thank Doug for the link on

Re: Question about third generation Apple TV

2015-12-04 Thread Matthew Bullis 
Well, the answer seems to be yes and no. I have been using the 3rd generation 
Apple TV with Netflix just fine. I have been using one of those little 
converter boxes that takes an HDMI signal and outputs it as RCA to the stereo. 
Now whether that fools Netflix into thinking that you actually do have a video 
signal or not I'm not sure, but the converter box works fine. Should something 
change in future, I did buy a small DVD/TV that the Apple TV can plug into. I 
mainly bought it though so I could play the handful of dvds that will never be 
on Netflix, because they are rare or non-commercial. Anyway, I hope that helps.
