Apple TV Setting Up :
Plug in the power and HDMI cables. The easiest object is to
plug HDMI right into a free port on your TV, and that’s what most folks will
do. But if you take HDMI passthrough on your AV receiver, or an HDMI getaway
box, you might need to go that way, so you can AirPlay audio from a Mac or iOS
device to your stereo without having your TV on.
Turn on your TV to the input your Apple TV is associated to.
You’ll see a rapid to connect the Siri Remote by holding down Menu and +. Then
you’ll use the remote to select your language and country. The remote doesn’t
have an Enter button like the old Apple Remote did, but you can click the
trackpad. Really click it—a tap-to-click doesn’t work here.
The Apple TV can grab your Wi-Fi identifications from your
iPhone over Bluetooth.
The next option is to set up your system. You can do this
manually, but it’s quicker and more fun to use a device running iOS 9.1 or
later. The Apple TV speedily “saw” my iPhone over Bluetooth and attempted to
connect to the same Wi-Fi network my iPhone uses. But it didn’t work for me at
the office—the network I’m using has WPA2 Originality security, which needs me
to log in with a username and a password, not just a password. So I joined an
ethernet cable to the Apple TV instead, and that did the trick.
Next, you have to sign in with your Apple ID. Incoming
usernames and passwords with a remote is a pain in the butt, so you might be attracted
to grab a Bluetooth keyboard, or launch the Remote app on your iOS device, to
input this text like a gentlemen. Bzzt. Both of those approaches,
which work on the 3rd-gen Apple TV just fine, are not sustained here. You’re
stuck entering a letter at a time with the Siri Remote, a step backward from
what we had before.
If you have distinct iTunes Store and iCloud accounts, the
Apple TV can house both.
This screen does have an option for arriving separate Apple
IDs for iCloud and the iTunes Store. I use discrete accounts for iCloud and
iTunes on my iPhone, since Apple offers no way to merge those accounts into
one. So I bit the shot and entered both here, too, although that doubled the
time I spent scrolling around the onscreen keyboard with my remote. Being able
to quickly scroll with the Siri Remote’s trackpad is nice, but it also meant I
would overshoot the letter I wanted from time to time. If you use two-factor
authentication on your Apple ID, that’s supported.
A miracle why the Apple TV couldn’t grab the authorizations
from my iPhone like it did with my Wi-Fi password ? Maybe the 2-factor problem…
Next, you’ll pick whether to enable Location Facilities,
which you should, if you want the screensavers to change created on what time
of day it is. Maybe this will help with HomeKit as well, although if it does,
Apple doesn’t give you a heads up on this screen.
you can take advantage of the built-in mic on the Siri
Remote to search the iTunes Store, Netflix, HBO, Hulu, and Showtime with your
voice
Get some apps IOS TV:
Unlike the old Apple TV, which came with every channel
preinstalled and automatically added new ones as they became available, your
fourth-gen Apple TV ships with iTunes Movies, iTunes TV Shows, the App Store,
Photos, Music, Computers (for streaming media saved in the iTunes Library of a
computer on the same network), Settings, and Search. (The Search app here is
for entering text with the Siri Remote again. To search with Siri, all you have
to do is hold down the microphone button on the Siri Remote.)
So to really get started, you’ll want to grab some
apps. Head to the App Store, and poke around. The App Store interface has tabs
for Featured, Purchased, and Search, but as of now, no breakdown by category.
Perhaps as more apps are added, the discoverability and filtering will get more
robust, but for now just browse around and add what you want. They installed
really quickly in my experience, but again, I was using ethernet on my fast
office network. Your mileage may vary
