One thing I have noticed is the ATV now only turns on when I press the home button on the remote or remote app. I like this better because it would always seize control via CEC if the touchpad on the remote got bumped and it was annoying. This is on the 13 beta I guess, didn’t realize I had a beta certificate on there after the last one but whatever.

Lazyhound posted:Every time I watch a TV episode from iTunes, the video freezes 3-4 minutes from the end of the episode, but the audio continues. The only fix is to back out of the episode and re-open it. Googling shows a few people with the same issue, but no solutions. ffs, this problem went away at some point, but it’s back after the latest software update. It might even be worse, I had to restart to clear the last freeze (which happened at a pivotal plot moment, of course). e: somebody found a workaround, the bug only happens when playing through the TV app, the iTunes app works fine.

I don't know if there are any others using it but the Channels app just added TV Everywhere support. Now, if you have a friend or family member's cable login info, you can use the app to "tune" into their live feeds from within the Channels app and you can also record said streams (access to their DVR software and TV Everywhere support is within their Channels Plus subscription service).

So does that mean I could just use my Verizon FIOS login with Channels, Apple TV, and my NAS as like an extra DVR?

I believe so! Edit: some channels you get through the actual Verizon box may be unavailable through TV Everywhere. There's a thread on their support forums that goes through the Pros and Cons of using the TV Everywhere system. quote:What channels are not available?

Does anyone know if there is a Harmony (or other) universal remote that does a full replication of the Apple TV 4K remote? I have the Ultimate One remote and the replication of the touchpad seems nonexistent. I’m not really surprised by this given the age of my remote but haven’t found anything that does. Anyone have any suggestions or advice?

Anyone have any suggestions or advice? Other than the Remote app on iOS, I haven't found anything that will replicate the swipe function. And since it's pretty much how I consume media on the TV, my harmony hub has been relegated to the drawer. Fortunately CEC mostly works so I don't need to deal with a bunch of remotes.

Thanks - I wasn't sure if there was one and I just hadn't seen it. We bounce between the cable box and the AppleTV, though are using AppleTV more these days. The universal remote was really useful when we made good use of the XBOX, the Blu-Ray player, etc., but now that those largely sit unused, it's not nearly as useful as it once was.

I’ll continue to recommend the Sideclick for times where you want to control a few functions on non-cec devices and still have “one” remote. https://www.sideclickremotes.com I don’t use mine any more after doing some custom automation with an arduino instead, but I leave it on since it makes the tiny remote slightly more ergonomic for adult human hands.

Is the mute for a tv source or a receiver? I use mine with a receiver, and having buttons I don’t use often is still worth the size add. I added a bunch of random buttons for when CEC stops working on the rare occasions.

The adverts have definitely ramped up in the last week or two. Feels like everything longer than a minute or two now gets a mid video commercial uncomfortably jammed in the middle of a sentence.

I have some 600ish subscriptions covering a huge range of topics. I rarely ever watch "traditional" TV anymore and got rid of cable years ago. The $9.99 Youtube Red/Premium/whatever they call it nowadays is fantastic for anyone who watches Youtube a lot. No ads on any device you watch on, PiHole or not. And you get access to Google Music/Youtube Music as a bonus. (I believe its higher now, but I am grandfathered in on the lower pricing). stevewm fucked around with this message at 14:57 on Aug 19, 2019 |

It oscillates between watching glitches of BOTW to wierd and obscure science stuff (natural disasters, black holes, survival things, etc.). Hard to fault them. They could be watching mindless cartoons like I did at their age.

I just airplay from my laptop to the Apple TV, been doing it for years and adblockers work fine. Especially because I hate Google's youtube app on pretty much any platform I've tried it. Probably not a great solution when dealing with a kid, but it might work for other people.
