I have to admit, I have never thought of connecting a braille display to an Apple TV. I have used a Bluetooth keyboard in the past, because it is so much faster to enter necessary passwords etc. That new touch remote that they have on the fourth generation and following has not appeal to me. I haven’t figured out how to make that as efficient as the old system was, which wasn’t great. Obviously, I missing something. I would be curious to know how you are making things efficient with your BI 14 on your Apple TV. Mary
