Pablo,

There are only 3 buttons on the remote of the Apple TV:

At the top is one big button which is Enter/Select if you press the middle
part, if you press the top, bottom, left or right edge it is up, down, left
and right arrow and they move you through the menus and the on-screen
keyboard if you need to type something like your Apple Id or Password.

Underneath that big button are 2 side by side buttons: the left is the
Menu/Back button and the right is the Play/Pause button.

The menu structure is pretty simple, e.g. Movies, Music, Comoputer, Settings
etc. You just arrow around and press the middle part of the big button to
select something.

If you want to enter text it's a bit slow using the remote, you basically
get the alphabet and have to arrow around until you find the letter you
want, then press enter/select.

Keep in mind that you can also use a Bluetooth keyboard with the Apple TV,
you can just use your arrow keys to move around and enter to select. The big
advantage is that if you want to enter text to search form something you can
just type it on the Bluetooth keyboard, it works great.

Also keep in mind that Apple gives you 30 days to return something you buy.
The Apple TV is only $99, so not a super expensive item and if you order it
online and want to return it you just have to call them up and they'll send
you a label to return it, won't cost you a dime. Of course if you are near
an Apple Store you can just buy one there and return it for an immediate
refund after you play around with it for 3 weeks or so.


Regards,
Sieghard

Hi MamaPeach
I am not pretty sure, but I think that the apple TV comes with a remote
control?
Now, if it is true, how voice over is handled with a remote control, if we
are reaching buttons to know what voice over is doing? You know, to select a
function on our phones, we select the button that we want, and we make a
double tab on what ever we want. But in a remote control, how is it?
is a way to use it with our iPhones?
