Upgraded to the new Apple TV yesterday. Anyone know if you can connect the iPhone remote app to it to use? That made it easy to type stuff instead of using the remote.
The single line alphabetical selector on the new one is awful. So are some of the app screens, like Netflix, where the preview or feature window takes up 2/3 of the screen, with the individual scrolling lists at the bottom. It's clumsy. I just want to see several rows of cards on one screen for a single category.
- I connected the remote app with my iPhone and iPad yesterday, does the trick nicely. Way better for typing as the keyboard pops up when activatedOctopiStimuli
- Of course you can. That's what the app is for. Or just use Siri because that shit is way faster.monospaced
- Screw Siri. I just get my roommate to type it with remote for me. Voice command too!pango
- Apple TV is and always has been one of their lowest points - ridiculously bad compared to the competition and only surviving because of that logo.fadein11
- @fadein, at risk of sounding like a fanboy, I have to disagree. It's not ridiculously bad, and its as many features the competition hasn't met, but whatevermonospaced
- I mean, I totally know they are missing a some content, but if you actually have used it you'd know it's not one of their lowest points.monospaced
- also, I've used the chrome and the amazon units, and they are pretty shit in comparison... only the roku seems to be better, and not by a tonmonospaced
- I have used the 1st generation one a fair bit. That controller lol - the antithesis of what Apple are about... Terrible device and expensive content.fadein11
- My Firestick cost £15 and does everything Apple TV does much better.fadein11
- I have it too and you've got to be fucking kidding.monospaced
