Hi all,
I have a question:
I’m in Ghana West Africa, will Apple TV work with my local stations and
DSTV decoder in Ghana?
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a prospers new year in advance!

Additionally, Apple recently added the ability to use a Bluetooth
keyboard with Apple TV. I now have an Apple Wireless Keyboard
permanently paired with our Apple TV and it's a great way to control the
device.

Just to add to this, I also found the Apple TV remote to be quite
small and easily lost so I used the Apple TV's ability to pair
another remote. It can be any remote just about that you might have
laying around. The process of programming the remote to work with
the Apple TV is very easy and perfectly accessible. As a result, I
have a nice easy to hold remote that works perfectly for all apple
TV functions and almost impossible to lose.

Hi,
You may be talking about a couple of different things here:
It is possible to start content playing on the Apple TV from your
iPhone using airPlay - E.G. you can find a song in your iTunes
library
or on your network via your iPhone and then stream it to the TV
without interacting with the TV at all.
It is also possible to control the Apple TV using an iPhone
instead of
the remote; this is the root that I took for the first couple of
days
when I got my Apple TV because the remote is fairly small and could
quite easily get lost. However, for me, it is *much* easier to
control
it using the physical remote, instead of the "remote" app.
Cheers,
Ben.

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?

Hi,
If you want complete accessibility,
unfortunately the only two ways to
go are Apple TV or a dedicated media center
PC connected directly to
the TV. The Apple TV works best for people
who subscribe to the Apple
ecosystem as you have noticed and the
dedicated computer approach is
over kill for most people.
I upgraded the hard drive in an old netbook
and repurposed it as an
iTunes server; it sits in our atic serving
content to the Apple TV and
also runs a DLNA server for some other
devices. I'm not a fan of the
approach that Apple have taken with the
Apple TV but I have to admit
my setup generally works pretty well.
Cheers,
Ben.

The accessibility is great.
With voice over you can read the
items
on
the
screen, search and play in
youtube, Etc. If you subscribe to
Netflicks,
you
can read about movies, rate them
or put them in your favorites to
view
later, Etc.
As far as watching movies from
your computer, if you have computer
sharing
on in iTunes, you should be able
to watch those videos.

Hi all.
Yesterday I was talking to
some one about the apple tv. I
understood
that
it is a device that allow my tv
to be connected to the wifi network
in
my
home. But I have some questions
about it.
1. If I have movies or videos
stored in my computer, for example
old
movies. With this device I am
able to play the videos stored in my
computer
on my TV?
2. Is possible to play
internet videos, like youtube,
or just
movies
from
internet on my tv?
3. this device has voice over?
how is the accessibility?
Thanks in advance.
