I agree a lot of questions can be answered with a quick Google search
and a lot of list traffic would be eliminated if people would look
through all of their email messages to see if a question has already
been answered before they answer it themselves, but we can't dictate to
others how to process their email or when to use Google versus when to
ask a question on a list. We can make sure people are aware of their
different options, but I'm not sure ranting to people about it is the
most affective method.
Two other things to consider are ignoring those questions or threads you
find trivial or useless, which would be especially easy if you're using
a threaded email client. Or secondly looking for another list where the
traffic isn't so astoundingly useless to you.
Finally, I think Raul and Cara do a good job with this list gently
reminding people what good list habits are and letting them know how
their posts can impact the other 1500 members of the list. IMHO, a
gentle reminder like that from the moderator is more affective than a
rant from a list member.

Hi,
Bit of a rant followed by an answer here, but sometimes the amount of
replies to questions on this list that are next to useless astounds
me. Additionally, the amount of questions that could be answered by a
very simple Google search is also astounding. Whenever I consider if I
should ask a question of the list, I first ponder if instead of
waiting for potentially hours for someone to answer it I can spend a
couple of minutes trying to Google for the solution. For example,
performing a Google search for "apple TV voiceover" produces many
useful results, the top three of which contain instructions as to how
it can be enabled.
However, to answer your question:
1. Plug Apple TV into your TV using a HDMI cable. If purchased from
Apple a HDMI cable will not be supplied.
2. Change the input on your TV to the HDMI port that you have plugged
the Apple TV into.
3. Plug the Apple TV into an electrical outlet.
4. If all is well after a minute you should hear instructions
pertaining to the enabling of VoiceOver.
5. Press the play button (bottom right on the remote with the circle
of buttons facing away from you) 3 times at the same sort of speed
that you would triple click home. VoiceOver should now be enabled.
NB: if you have AV receivers that you will be connecting through the
steps may be slightly different, but the triple click part will remain
the same.
Cheers,
Ben.

I think you can enable accessibility from the remote but I am not for sure
but in case if I am wrong here is a podcast that I found that talks about
using the apple tv
with voiceover.

Hello list,
Will be getting the latest version of the Apple TV later today via my
friendly UPS driver...
The question is, can Voice Over be turned on from the remote prior to
setup, or will I need to connect to ITunes and turn accessibility on there
for the device?
Thanks in advance for the assistance.
Peter
