The podcast said the remote iOS app works on the new Apple TV, just not
bluetooth keyboards. To be honest they will have to include it as even
without VoiceOver enabled one would still have to swipe through the
entire keyboard and press on the touchpad to insert. So even for a
sighted user it's a bit long winded.

Hi,
For future reference, don’t put it in your pocket while you’re cleaning. lmao.
But seriously, they do need to bring back bluetooth keyboard support, or at the
very least, the ability to use the remote iOS app.

Hi,
You have to enter your password for the first download yes, but the TV
gives you the option to remember your password for future downloads.
Since I didn't know that the remote would behave in the way it did I
let it remember my password as I live on my own and reasoned that
there wouldn't really ever be a situation where someone else would be
alone with the TV in my flat.
Cheers,
Ben.

It purchased a film? How did the keyboard purchase a film? Don't you have to
enter your password or at least use a touch ID or something? That really
sucks!

Hi,
In my opinion, the Os, poticually Siri leaves a lot to be desired at
the moment, not to mention that there are some very obvious VO bugs
that really should have been fixed before release.
On a somewhat related note, I've found that if you keep the new remote
in your pocket it will sometimes activate various things as you walk
about. Yesterday I was tidying my bedroom with the remote in my pocket
and as a result, unbeknownst to me, the Apple TV (which is located in
my sitting room) purchased a film. Unfortunately the first I knew of
said purchase was when the film started playing, by which time it was
too late.
Cheers,
Ben.

Oh boy! That sounds like a big step back. Hopefully, they will fix this

the coming months.

I've tried and it doesn't work. Unfortunately as you say the new
keyboard layout is even worse than the old one and even though the TV
has Siri you don't appear to be able to use dictation.
Cheers,
Ben.

For those of you who have the new AppleTV, has any of you tried
connecting
it with an apple or other Bluetooth keyboard and what have your
results
been? I saw an article in some tech blogger other today commenting on
the
fact that typing stuff on the screen is now much more difficult,
because
they don't have the grid that they used to have for use with the
remote.
It
is apparently one long line of letters and one long line of numbers.
And
the
author was complaining that this was very much a pain in the butt.
They
did
not say anything about using a Bluetooth keyboard, making me think
that
that
might not be an option. So, what say you?
