Hello to Daniel and all who have helped me with my Apple tv, so far. I really appreciate it.
I really dislike saying this, because I was so hesetant to purchase it. But I absolutely love it! I think it's awesome! My friend helped me set it up, because I didn't see the message in time, telling me how to start voiceover. But once we got voiceover on, I took it over. I actually like the little gesture area. I thought it would be very difficult to use. But not at all. And I like how you press the little clicker thing at the end. Ok, surely not the propper name for it. LOL! The keyboard is still a bit confusing to me. But overall I like the new set up so far. I find it faster to choose letters, and such. Also, one feature I really loved, was how easy it was to set it up, and connect to my network. I liked how I unlocked my phone, and held it near the tv. That was too cool how it used the bluetooth. The set up was flawless. I haven't done much with it, beyond that. Mainly, because I am not sure what to do. How do I get my apps like, CBS, Hulu, and Netflix on there? Even if they are on my Ipad, and I have subscriptions, do I have to download them on to the Apple TV? I couldn't find an area where I could see all my apps. But maybe I don't know where to look. Also, if I want other free or subscription-based apps for movies, or tv shows, how do I go about finding such stuff? Unfortunately, I don't know many apps, and I honestly don't know how to search for such things. I'd like to find apps that are pretty accessible. But I'd try some apps just to check them out as well, if I knew how to find them. Also, how do you know which news apps give broadcasts of stories, and not just articles? I know NPR has a news app. Any help with any of this would be much appreciated. I'm going to mess around with the Apple tv more, tomorrow. I am definitely happy I bought it. I can't believe now that I was so intimidated by it. Thank you, Terri On 11/2/2016 9:42 AM, Daniel L.
