Hi Daniel, They should leave out Bluetooth keyboard support because they want people to use SIRI when it appears in some countries SIRI on the Apple TV is not available, example, New Zealand. I don't know about Australia and Europe, but if they have Bluetooth support and they support all sorts of third-party game controllers not having support for Bluetooth keyboards makes little sense to me.

But from Apple’s point of view, they want people to use the Siri functionality more. And also, they added a recent keyboard that contains all the email addresses and account names you’ve typed before, so to be fair, you’d only need to enter your passwords with the annoying keyboard. > On Nov 1, 2015, at 10:31 AM, Sieghard Weitzel <[email protected]> wrote: > > That would match Jonathan's experience when he tried to pair a Bluetooth > keyboard with his Apple TV foruth gen in his Jonathan at Large Podcast.
