FaceTime on Apple TV has been a game changer for my 4 young kids (6 and under). Everyone can see and be seen when we call out of town family members. We literally upgraded our ATV HD to the 4K version for this feature alone and it’s so worth it 😂

I did the same thing, found a cheap silicone cover for my Apple TV remote that has a space for an AirTag, it’s awesome, also much easier to grip with a case like that :)

Great video. Here’s an idea for an Apple TV Shortcut: wait 15 seconds and press the center button on the Apple TV remote so that it presses the ‘Skip’ button during UKposts ads.
@ront335 12 днів тому
With or without an AirTag, those silicone covers for Apple TV remotes are essential. They makes the remote even easier to hold, they keeps the remote from sliding around on the couch or in bed thus getting lost, and they come in different colors. I know some Apple design purist types will object to these, but they are really useful.

Ergonomics vastly improve for sure.

Stephen, you always do a great job with your videos. Even though I consider myself reasonably competent with things like the ATV, I find that in watching your videos on a particular topic I always learn something or refresh my memory on something I once knew but have forgotten. Thanks and keep up the good work. I hope more viewers will subscribe to your channel as you certainly deserve to be over 100K.

A much easier way to toggle between the TV app and your home screen is just simply hitting the home button :) you can choose which (home screen/TV app) is the default but if you’re at the TV app and just hit the home button, it goes back to your app grid.. much easier than holding the home button, at least in that example :)
@beardfm 15 днів тому
I should've highlighted that feature, for sure. But I like holding the back button if I'm in an app or watching something to go to the app grid, and the flexibility of tapping the TV icon for the "Up Next" view.

Ever since the last major update the control centre randomly pops up twice when I switch the Apple TV on, which is annoying because the amount of times it's popped up just as I'm clicking on an app and end up switing it off instead.

That's odd, I haven't experienced that. 17.5 should be out soon though, may be a bug.
