Publisher's Synopsis
★★★ Say Goodbye to Cable ★★★
Almost everyone has or is thinking about cutting the cable cord. But it can be confusing. There are several options when it comes to media players...and once you get a media player, there are dozens and dozens of different services to add to it to stream actual content!
If you are already invested into the Apple ecosystem, then Apple TV is a good option. It is arguably the best streaming device out there; yes, there are cheaper ones-lots of them-but Apple TV feels like everything else Apple does: premium.
With Apple TV, you aren't just paying for a media box that can play movies. You're paying for something that sort of does everything-plays games, apps, and even mirrors other Apple products. In some ways, it's like a minicomputer attached to your TV screen.
This guide is an introduction to the newest Apple TV (which was originally released in October 2017); but if you have the earlier 2015 model, that's fine-you'll even find it useful if you have the earlier models (though some of the features won't be here). It's based on TVOS 14, which is the newest Apple TV operating system.
It will teach you the basics, then move on to how to really get the most out of your purchase; it will also cover how to make the switch from cable to streaming TV and cover one of Apple's newest services: Apple TV+.
Some of the topics include:
- Basic Apple TV UI
- Using the remote
- Using picture in picture
- Using multiple audio sources
- Playing music and podcasts
- Installing and removing apps
- Playing photos
- Apple TV service
- How to cut cable
There's something for everyone here, so if you're ready to take your entertainment to the next level, let's go!
