Can I hook up a bluetooth keyboard for entering text, or is there some way to use siri for filling out text fields?

This thing is awesome except for the text input. It's such a pain in the rear end that I feel like I have to be missing an easier way.

The Siri voice recognition has worked flawlessly for me. I don't understand why it won't work in text input fields.

P0PCULTUREREFERENCE posted:(Or iOS's dictation input.) Exactly. I say words, it types them. They wouldn't need or want to ditch the manual text input, but when in a text field i should be able to push the siri button and dictate the search terms.

I've noticed that if I put the AppleTV to sleep, it turns off my tv. But if I wake it up and the tv is off, nothing happens. Is that normal?

Martytoof posted:I know this is a popular opinion, but quite frankly I didn't pay $200 for a TV gadget to then have to work my phone or laptop into the equation. I know this is a pragmatic solution but that's a terrible precedent to set. I'm with you. Airplay for me is unreliable, sometimes jumpy, sometimes just uncooperative. Plus I end up having to dedicate a device to it while it's doing its thing. I'm excited to have a device with apps so that I don't have to do airplay.

The remote is cute, but not intuitive at all. I still hold it upside down frequently, can't remember the swiping shortcuts, and sometimes when I'm not using it it gets bumped and my tv switches to that input. There's a whole lot the new appletv gets right, but the remote isn't one of those things.

In ios 11 you can put quick remote access in the control center which makes using your phone as the remote a lot more practical

The espn app has added a multicast feature that I’m not sure if it’s on other platforms yet. But the implementation is really good if you like following multiple sporting events at once.

Did apple say when the free 4k movie upgrades would be available? I have a 4k tv and nothing to watch on it in 4k. Before I drop money on a new ATV it would be nice if one of the handful of movies I won is available in 4k.

How can you tell if the movies you have are available in 4k? I only have a dozen or so, most of them for the kids and i don't see anything about it in itunes.

jabro posted:Check in iTunes. On the screen where you either choose to download or stream the movie there will be a 4K tag next to the HD, Dolby, and CC ones. No tag, no 4K. Cool, thanks. Looks like none of my movies have that. Which is a shame because the Pixar stuff would probably look glorious in 4k.

Thwomp posted:It depends more on the studio at this point. You'll reliably find 4k titles of movies released in the last couple of years but movies older than that are really spotty. For the older Pixar movies will they have to rerender everything again? I wonder what resolution the masters are rendered at. For films I assume it's just a matter of digitizing the master print at a higher rez, but it may actually be tougher with a CGI movie.

Vince MechMahon posted:I’ve obviously done this. But the fact that this wasn’t something someone noticed the first day they had this available to them on Valves side is still ridiculous. Add to that the fact that it reads perfectly on the actual beta firmware and it’s even dumber. If it’s the Apple beta that broke valves functionality then valve would need to submit an updated app and Apple approve it. That can take a few days. And if they need to compile it against the new sdk to make it function, Apple may not even be allowing that yet since, again, beta.

I have three devices plugged into my Samsung tv: •Two of them can turn on the TV when powered on •Of those two, only the appletv can switch to the proper input •All three devices will turn off the tv when they power down due to inactivity, even if I'm not on that input

I watched the superbowl on my atv and even though it was apparently most 1080 footage that was upscaled prior to broadcast, it looked drat good. I tried to A/B between it and the regular fox broadcast, and the fox broadcast had a lot more artifacting around the chyron and whatnot. It was also supposed to be 60 frames/s but I couldn't tell if that was the case.

Big Huski Boi posted:I watched the first quarter on the Fox Sports app in 4K and it looked great, but a couple times it just stopped playing and took forever to continue. Not sure if my internet was screwing up or what. Also it was noticeably a minute or two behind the YouTube TV broadcast. But when I switched to the latter it looked awful in comparison. Mine did that a couple times early on and i had ot reslect the stream but no issues after the first quarter I think. I suspect they were having backend problems. Also, streaming is always going to be behind the tv broadcast. My understanding is its because of how it's sent out in chunks to the ISPs who then stream it to their subscribers. And so it's sent out in 30 second or minute long chunks or whatever, and you can't start watching that chunk until the ISP has the whole chunk. Something like that.

Big Huski Boi posted:I would've assumed the YouTube TV "broadcast" would've been a stream and thus on roughly the same timing. I doubt the isps do the mirror thing like they do with the network streams. All those networks are in partnership with the big isps so the isps have servers that get the streaming content from the networks and then stream that to their subscribers But there's only maybe 50 networks that do that, possibly fewer. But youtube has millions of videos that anyone could be streaming at any given time, so unless the isps were going to set up a special stream just for for the youtube superbowl feed, you're just getting it straight from youtube.

If Tim goes on stage and says "It's the exact same thing you already have except the remote isn't hot garbage and no the new remote isn't backwards compatible" I'll order two.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:Wait what the hell, is the “home” button really the Apple TV app button now?? Every time I push it, it opens the ATV app. It’s like having the Netflix button all over again. Garbage. That was previously a setting. I would go check that. It defaulted to to the Apple TV app with one of the software updates, so new systems are probably the same. edit: drat you sure angry about a setting you can change

It’s wafer-like shape makes it the easiest of all the remotes to disappear between cushions. It is truly one of the worst things apple has ever designed.

IUG posted:Is anyone else unable to issue commands to an Apple TV (4k) via Siri? We used to be able to tell our HomePods to play/pause, fast forward, skip, etc, and they would work as expected. But about 2-3 weeks ago it just replies that it's unable to complete the request at this time after trying for a few seconds. We can't do it either from Siri from our phones, but we can use the remote app to control the Apple TV. A lot of times you have to sign back into your Apple ID on the updated devices. Check the account settings to see if it's wanting you to do that.
