Correction - the first Apple TV remote was made of aluminium and glass, not plastic.

@@PISCINAPARTYPAPI Technically the remote you’re referring to was never a “Siri” remote. It was simply called Apple Remote. There’s only been 3 generations of Siri Remote. The 1st Gen was like the remote in the video that had the white ring. The 1st Gen was updated to in order to *remove the ring, but it was still a 1st Gen. The 2nd Gen introduced the aluminium remote we are used to seeing now. The 3rd Gen is identical to the 2nd Gen, but the Lightning port was replaced with a USB-C port. *add

Yes, you are correct. There have been 4 gens of Apple TV remote. The first one in 2009 was all aluminum and had a replaceable non-rechargeable battery. The subsequent 3 generations in 2015, 2017 and 2021 were referenced as Siri remotes, and had BT as well as IR, with rechargeable batteries. There was an Apple Remote introduced in 2005 to support Front Row on iMacs and Mini that was all plastic, and could be used with early gens of Apple TV.@@PISCINAPARTYPAPI

Yes, this is what prompted me to get Apple TV to start with. However for me it doesn't work flawlessly at all. Sometimes my pods auto connect, sometimes I get a message apple tv has detected them and sometimes apple tv ignores them and I have to connect via settings. In all cases I put in the pods before turning on my apple TV. If anyone knows how to ensure auto connect I would be very grateful.

Two additional tips: 1. With the current remote, clicking on the Right or Left arrows of the navigation ring will skip the content forward or backward. The amount it moves depends on the app. For instance, KZfaqTV skips 15 seconds with each click. 2. Changing the Keyboard Layout (Settings -> General -> Keyboard Layout) from Linear to Grid makes it MUCH easier to navigate the on-screen keyboard to enter text.

I have a question about 1. so I currently have an apple tv with the new remote and going forward/backwards on KZfaq videos doesn’t work as easily as it used to be on the previous remote anymore. Previously it was like you described but on the new one you always have to swipe up, then right/left and then hit OK instead of just clicking on the left/right side. Is there a setting you know of that fixes this?
@jimmyboy1582 9 ай бұрын
@@MikeyBarca02 I have noticed the same thing. I have the original Siri remote. Prior to multiple updates skip back/skip forward would work easily every time but now sometimes all it does is just pause the video. On other apps, I have to ask siri to go back “what did she/he say?” But the feature does not work on youtube.

Excellent and informative introduction to the Apple TV 4K. A couple of things that I particularly like about this steaming box that you didn’t mention is the scrolling feature to quickly and accurately fast forward or reverse on many of the apps. I also think the ability to switch quickly and easily between various different apps is another big benefit of the ATV4K box and provides much greater flexibility than using the built in apps on a smart tv or an Amazon fire stick for example where you have to completely exit one app before accessing another.

@RTPeat 9 ай бұрын
One feature you missed which is a must have for me is the Match Content option in the video settings. If that is on and your TV is compatible it streams video at the frame rate and resolution of the content, otherwise the Apple TV converts it to whatever your Apple TV is set to. If you have a mix of content, for example movies at 24 frames a second, UK and North American TV shows which have different frame rates everything streams without annoying jitters, which can be really obvious on panning shots for example. Many of the apps honour the setting too, so Netflix and Plex will match. The main exception is the KZfaq app that resolutely converts everything to the overarching setting of the Apple TV.

Thanks for the great video - as always your stuff is really informative -- even for a long time Apple-user like myself! One feature I LOVE is the ability to say out-loud "Hey Siri, turn off my TV" just before I fall asleep. Finding the remote always pulls me out of that blissful pre-slumber mode. (I have a HomePod nearby, but as long as all your devices are on the same wi-fi network, your iPhone or even Apple Watch will listen and "speak" to the AppleTV).. A feature I haven't seen which would be great is being able to use the Find My app to locate a missing remote. Often the remotes (especially the older smaller ones) end up hidden behind a pillow or under the sheets or someplace that takes a while to find. A little chirp or beep after speaking "Hey Siri, find my remote" would be awesome and very "Apple" centric.

A vital setting to turn on is 'match content' in the video and audio settings, turn that on for frame rate and HDR. It then instructs the TV to alter frame rate and turn on/off HDR based on the content you are watching for smooth playback.

@user-ov3pq5ok7f 5 ай бұрын
Great video! Very comprehensive and easy for beginners. I was probably underutilizing the Siri function before, will use that more. One suggestion to include, as some mentioned below, is settings in the “Video and Audio” section around SDR and HDR. These are important to understand and set properly to get a good experience, Apple actually makes things pretty easy in this area. Main issue is that most streaming content is a mishmash of SDR, HDR and Dolby Vision. Also most menus for streaming services are SDR. So forcing the video to Dolby 4K or HDR 4K on Apple TV always will cause SDR content and menus to look terrible and blown out in a lot of cases. General advice in most cases is to set the output on Apple TV to “4K SDR” and then turn on the “Match frame rate” and “match dynamic range” settings to on. This will allow SDR content, such as menus, to be displayed as intended and then auto switch to HDR or Dolby when these frames are detected.

Netflix does, the AppleTV app does, etc etc. You can just hover over an app on the dock then above it will show pertinent details such as the TV app showing your up next list without having to go into the TV app itself....
