The Apple TV is actualYou can also use it to connect to the I-Tunes store to rent or buy movies, watch netflix and also use it to watch Major League Baseball games provided you have a subscription to the MLB TV package.
Fred Olverly a box which connects between your network or modem and your Tv. It allows you to receive channels in conjunction with your cable subscription. ----- Original Message ----- From: Laury-Johnson, Shawnese (LARA) To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, August 17, 2015 8:38 AM Subject: RE: Apple Tv Thanks for the info. I know absolutely nothing about it and wondering if there is a box or stick that can be used on the televisions that I already have or will I need to purchase new tv’s.

All indications are that there will be a new one coming out this fall which is going to be vastly improved and you will be available to subscribe to many regular TV channels with it. I believe Apple is still signing more deals with stations/channels because they want to be able to offer a cable alternative and you will not be able to get this with the current third generation Apple TV which hasn’t been updated in about 3 years. The rumours are that the new Apple TV will have SIRI, its own app store and a touch screen remote. I take it for granted that it has Voiceover and will be fully accessible just as the current Apple TV is. You can of course check on Applevis for Apple TV Podcasts and go to www.apple.com and read all about the current Apple TV there, but all that information is going to change when the fourth generation Apple TV is announced. It appears Apple also sees it as a sort of hub for current and future home automation products which of course would make a lot of sense since it is sitting in your home, it’s connected to your WiFi and hence the world via the internet and it could easily talk to any home automation products like thermostats, lights, locks and so on. I think it will be very much a game changer and right now rumours predict Apple will have their event on Wednesday, September 9 and some expect that this event will not only just introduce the new iPhones for this year, but also the new iPad Pro with a 12 or 13 inch screen and the new Apple TV. If so it will be quite an event. Of course iOS 9 will be released to the public about a week after the event. As for Jonathan’s book about the Apple TV, that is currently available on his website, here is the direct link: http://mosen.org/index.php/mosen-consulting-ebook-apple-tv-3rd-generation-with-voiceover/ I am sure, however, Jonathan will rewrite this book once the fourth generation Apple TV is out.
