TIP: I use my old 3rd Gen Apple TV as an Apple Music AirPlay device. It's hooked up via toslink to my integrated amp outputting to proper floor standing speakers.
@@hey-patrick I control the volume from my iPhone, iPad, Mac. I don't have a Siri remote paired to the Apple TV 3 but if I did I would imagine volume control would be possible.
Mine comes today, looking forward to it! Switching to the Apple ecosystem in general from years of Windows and Android problems. So far it's been way nicer.
Thanks for all I learnt, my new Apple TV was a big difference from my 3rd generation. The biggest recommendation I can make is to slow down the touchpad. Made my experience so much better.
Hi Craig, nice video. Here is a feature I always like, when entering in a password just hold down on the select button and the letter will be capitalized (great for case sensitivity). Also, if you hold down on the delete button with the select key the entire line will be deleted.
It suddenly forced me to sign in on my Roku TV when nothing had changed. It never used to require a sign-in. Prime doesn't require it after the 1st time. I'm not signing in on my own TV with that miserable password spelled via a remote's D-pad. Nope, cancelled.
A bonus reason I got an Apple TV is because it enabled remote access and Siri control of addition smart home features. Specifically my Wemo lights switches/outlets. Because they’re the older versions I also required a Wemo hub. Nice to be able to control my lights outside the house without pulling out my phone.
The "miss" with the apple account set up thing is that there isn't a way to map the Apple TV accounts with the individual app accounts (like Netflix, Amazon, TH-cam, etc). It would be nice if by connecting to my Apple TV account, somehow that info could be passed to those apps so when I launch them they would know who is logged in.
I don’t have Apple TV (yet). If my Firestick keeps being stupid, I might be! Some great features. I like the colour balance and the ‘what did they say?’ Features. Will this pair with my Studio speakers?
When I do the ‘What did they say’ feature I cant get the subtitles to turn off without manually doing so. Unless I’m just not waiting long enough. I also really agree with you. I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to get into Ted Lasso, but I absolutely loved it and I’m really hoping that the second season is just as good or better!
Oh my gosh. You are a lifesaver!! I didn’t even know the “what did they say” feature even existed. Here I’ve been using the Apple TV all this time backing up the old fashioned way when there was a much more elegant solution. Ugh! Thank you thank you thank you. 🙏 You just made not only my life better, but my spouse and mom’s better too!
You are welcome. Glad to help. I am with you and used the skip back to try and listen. It was a game changer for me too. I am glad your family is benefiting from it to. Thank you for watching.
I actually prefer Roku for the ‘what did they say’ feature… just click the ‘back’ button and it jumps back with subtitles. One click, that’s it. I like how connected and fast and easy the Apple TV is, but I think I still prefer my Roku Pro… I’ll have to keep learning about the Apple TV tho.
Great introductory video Craig! Just bought the 5th Get AppleTV 4K as my first AppleTV - Can't wait to get started with it and get exploring all its features!
Do you prefer apple or fire tv better? Everything in my home is echo powered so I love having everything connected but Apple TV just seems much cleaner, sleeker and a much better interface.
The Apple TV is way better. But if you’re already in the Alexa ecosystem, the fire tv can be very convenient. However, if you have an iPhone and Apple Watch, I would say it’s still worth getting the Apple TV. I’m still in the Alexa ecosystem in my home (echos everywhere, ring, Kasa smart products, Phillips hue lights) and I do not miss my old fire tv. The $200 price for the Apple TV is worth every penny.
Remote tip: The "little tv button" activates the appleTV app by default, but in the settings you can actually change it to go to home screen instead of apple tv, so now you don't have to long press the "back" button. I find it very cool since sometimes I'd want to see maybe a Marvel movie and then go back to home screen and TH-cam to get a breakdown. Some people might find it useless, but for others they don't like to hold down the button. Either way, cool feature.
Great video Craig! I may yet get an Apple TV. I subscribe to damn near every service, so why not add another one. Lol just a side note, why does it not surprise me that you have a GRAY Mini Cooper... 😏
I love the Up Next feature but because I add all movies and shows I want to watch in the future the list becomes way too cumbersome to sort through and find certain items depending on the type of entertainment I feel like watching at the time. I really wish that they would add FOLDERS to Up Next so we could separate them into categories like; purchased movies, currently watching, comedy, sci-fi ect…
Of all the wonderful things the new remote can do, I don’t think there is a way to tell it how to turn on/off my non-CEC television. Would have been a nice addition to “Learn remote”.
Does it work on tv? I can get the “what did they say” to work on Netflix and HBO movies, for example, but not on TH-cam tv, even if prerecorded. If I say “reverse 15 seconds” it backs up tho … guess I will just have to remember .
Does it work on live tv? I can get the “what did they say” to work on Netflix and HBO movies, for example, but not on TH-cam tv news, even if prerecorded. On programs, it won’t work, either, but if I say “reverse 15 seconds” it backs up correctly
I also have the previous 4K model which is lretty much the same as the latest, so I just went ahead and upgraded the remote alone for $60, I like the dedicated new buttons!
Actually you can drag and drop apps into folders. I have been doing that. Just drag an app on top of another one to create a folder or drop it into an existing one. I haven't figured out how to rename one
Two issues I'm having on Apple TV 4K: 1) Video doesn't start from where I left last time on VLC Player. 2) Screen mirroring from MacBook Pro to Apple TV lags at times. Do you suggest any solutions to these issues?
Very help full I just got my first Apple TV 4K I use to use Amazon cube thought I would give Apple TV a try I have everything else Apple so I said I’m og Apple user I’ll give it a try
I just start to used after a used fire tv for long honest my experience is amazing how fast is logging and define the pictured is amazing because I’m a Apple ecosystem everything is connect but one thing I wish Apple add on the future is the availability to see you text and call when you watch tv on one corner no full screen that way you pause what you watching and answer o not and read text that way you don’t have to stop and to pick up phone and give the available to disable is you don’t wanted
How do i save my movies on my hard drive of the apple tv ? It use to let me when I first got my 4 but its not letting me anymore that's why i got the 64g version to save my fav movies on the tv it self.
Do you have a video showing how you created this routine in the Apple Shortcuts app? I've tried to replicate your steps, but cannot figure out how to specify which Apple TV, or user account. I found your other video where you talk about the NFC sticker and that doesn't go into any detail. If there's a source for this information, I would appreciate it if you would point me to it.
I figured out the problem. I created my shortcut not at home, so when I would touch those linked areas, nothing would happen. When I did this at home, those links would populate with my Apple TV names, user accounts, etc.
Actually mentions that you need an Ultra High Speed HDMI 2.1 Cable to view best quality HDR 60Hz framerate ... Wins a new Subscriber and gets a Like 👍 Note: Television screen needs to have a HDMI 2.1 Input as well.
This is not true. You only need HDMI 2.0 to enjoy 4k HDR picture at 60Hz. HDMI 2.1 brings support for 8K Video (which streaming apps do not support yet) and 4K HDR at up to 120Hz (which tv shows and movies don’t currently use). I think you misunderstood his advice. He recommended a HDMI 2.1 cable to make the most of the new Apple TVs HDMI 2.1 output in the future.
HELP... I have an Apple HD TV with the NEW 2021 Remote. I can not find a way to completely have the remote turn off my Samsung Series 7 TV. When I hit the power button it put the Apple TV box in sleep mode and then it acts like it is powering off the TV, but within 10 seconds the TV comes back on. Then I have to use the TV remote to turn it off. I am trying to just use the Apple Remote. Do you have any ideals.
Good video can you please help with a widget on my iPhone. Last time you helped me with my shopping list. This time I’m looking for a widget to go on Home Screen. I want to asinine a name out of my contacts list to the widget so i call them. Thanks Len
I hated the original remote so I was thrilled to find there was a new version, but this one sucks too! Try advancing video with speed. I would trade it for the Roku remote anyway. The Apple remote is so high tech it’s just not functional. They gave yet to master the touch feature. Did I say it sucks?
I can see what you are saying. Don’t know if you tried it. But you can turn the touch side off. Then they are just regular buttons. Less accidental swipes.
I have 6 ways of accessing the same apps ..Apples actual tv is not worth having.My smart tv can connect with airplay I have the first 4 K Apple TV and have used it once.now it’s not connected.
Craig - twasn't us - twas HBO Max - in the end had to delete account and redo - all is well now. Lovely and clear after color matching with phone - thanks for that tip! Now, next question: I have a humdinger of a 5.1 surround system I brought over from the UK - a Denon receiver and B&W Front, Center and Rear speakers. How would you recommend hooking them up? Is it even possible to get 5.1 (or something) from a stream? I have only ever played 5.1 DVDs.
Glad to hear you got it figured and it is looking good with color balance. The way mine is hooked up is the out of the Apple TV goes to my receiver along with any other sources. Then from my receiver an HDMI goes to the TV. Most surround systems have an HDMI pass through for video and the sound is covered by the surround system.

Fantastic Craig I also like screen mirroring my favorite movies or calls to a friends tv.
TIP: I use my old 3rd Gen Apple TV as an Apple Music AirPlay device. It's hooked up via toslink to my integrated amp outputting to proper floor standing speakers.
That is a great tip. Thats right the old ones supported toslink. Thanks for sharing.
Can you control the volume through the Siri remote?
@@hey-patrick I control the volume from my iPhone, iPad, Mac. I don't have a Siri remote paired to the Apple TV 3 but if I did I would imagine volume control would be possible.
If you are worried about “bit perfect” audio, the Apple TV will resample 44.1khz streams to 48k. 99% of people won’t care!
We LOVE Ted Lasso at our house. Eagerly awaiting season 2.
Mine comes today, looking forward to it! Switching to the Apple ecosystem in general from years of Windows and Android problems. So far it's been way nicer.
@@WizzRacing Yeah I have an iphone, moved my wife to one as well, got an AppleTV. They all just work, it’s a nice change.
Great tips Craig. Love the shortcut switching users on the ATV. Good stuff!
And yes…most importantly, watch Tes Lasso! 👍🏻
Awesome, clear video! Great job Craig!
Just hooked up my Apple TV and thanks to your video it made things easy! My wife and I watched 10 episodes of Ted Lasso!
Thank you very much. Glad to hear your setup went well. That great you jumped into Ted Lasso. Such a great show. Thanks for watching and your comment.
Also watch Mythic Quest in Apple TV+. I’m also starting to watch, Little Voice, seems intriguing as a series
Thanks for all I learnt, my new Apple TV was a big difference from my 3rd generation. The biggest recommendation I can make is to slow down the touchpad. Made my experience so much better.
I turned my touch pad off
Great tips Craig. Best tip was Ted Lasso.....what a great show!
Double click the little box window button on the right to switch between apps or close them out. Simple thing some people don’t know
Hi Craig, nice video. Here is a feature I always like, when entering in a password just hold down on the select button and the letter will be capitalized (great for case sensitivity). Also, if you hold down on the delete button with the select key the entire line will be deleted.
It suddenly forced me to sign in on my Roku TV when nothing had changed. It never used to require a sign-in. Prime doesn't require it after the 1st time.
I'm not signing in on my own TV with that miserable password spelled via a remote's D-pad. Nope, cancelled.
A bonus reason I got an Apple TV is because it enabled remote access and Siri control of addition smart home features. Specifically my Wemo lights switches/outlets. Because they’re the older versions I also required a Wemo hub. Nice to be able to control my lights outside the house without pulling out my phone.
Thanks for the tip about setting up folders!
The "miss" with the apple account set up thing is that there isn't a way to map the Apple TV accounts with the individual app accounts (like Netflix, Amazon, TH-cam, etc). It would be nice if by connecting to my Apple TV account, somehow that info could be passed to those apps so when I launch them they would know who is logged in.
I don’t have Apple TV (yet). If my Firestick keeps being stupid, I might be! Some great features. I like the colour balance and the ‘what did they say?’ Features. Will this pair with my Studio speakers?
THANK YOU!!! I’m an apple tech nut. Didn’t know about the “what did they say”. Amazing. Thank you
Love the “what did they say” feature, excellent!
One of the best.
When I do the ‘What did they say’ feature I cant get the subtitles to turn off without manually doing so. Unless I’m just not waiting long enough. I also really agree with you. I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to get into Ted Lasso, but I absolutely loved it and I’m really hoping that the second season is just as good or better!
Love the Ted Lasso tip. Great video Craig. Love your work.
Oh my gosh. You are a lifesaver!! I didn’t even know the “what did they say” feature even existed. Here I’ve been using the Apple TV all this time backing up the old fashioned way when there was a much more elegant solution. Ugh! Thank you thank you thank you. 🙏 You just made not only my life better, but my spouse and mom’s better too!

Ted lasso is worth the price of admission!
Ted Lasso is awesome! I love it
Tip 11 : Ted Lasso ! Great tip !
Thank you 🙏

I like how connected and fast and easy the Apple TV is, but I think I still prefer my Roku Pro… I’ll have to keep learning about the Apple TV tho.
Anyone know how to turn a TV on or off with the 4K remote? It only has a few buttons…
Is it a double click or multi press of some kind?
The latest Apple TV remote has a power button. It uses CEC to turn on and off devices.
Great video. Love Ted Lasso
Great introductory video Craig! Just bought the 5th Get AppleTV 4K as my first AppleTV - Can't wait to get started with it and get exploring all its features!
Great Tips for my Apple TV. Wait, do I have an Apple TV?

Great job, Craig
I've just discovered you Craig, and you've already got my ToDo list full to bursting! Really great channel - subscribed!

I really wish that they would add FOLDERS to Up Next so we could separate them into categories like; purchased movies, currently watching, comedy, sci-fi ect…
Or you could delete the movies once you watch them and be more organized.just saying.
“What did they say?” feature is insane, I had no idea. Thank you
You are welcome. It is a great feature. I was listening to my wife used it yesterday. Thanks for watching.
Help.I’m thinking of buying one from Amazon. What’s the difference and What’s better 4K or HD? And different between 32 GB or 64 GB
I have never bought anything above 32gb. Apparently it is for more apps and on board storage. Never have had an issue in 10 years.
Get the 4k 32 gb
Of all the wonderful things the new remote can do, I don’t think there is a way to tell it how to turn on/off my non-CEC television. Would have been a nice addition to “Learn remote”.
You can add your SONOS too.
4:30 Thank you! Thank you thank you THANK YOU!
Thank You I just ordered it. Didn’t know what 32 or 64 was, I ordered 64 4K
I’m absolutely going to use that “what did they say?” Tip!
One of my personal favorites.
Does it work on tv? I can get the “what did they say” to work on Netflix and HBO movies, for example, but not on TH-cam tv, even if prerecorded. If I say “reverse 15 seconds” it backs up tho … guess I will just have to remember .

Liked based solely on the what did they say tip. Sold!
You can also control a sound bar volume with the remote.
We loved ted lasso, I’m still undecided about upgrading from 4K to the new Apple TV, I actually don’t mind the old remote 😁
I also have the previous 4K model which is lretty much the same as the latest, so I just went ahead and upgraded the remote alone for $60, I like the dedicated new buttons!
Actually you can drag and drop apps into folders. I have been doing that. Just drag an app on top of another one to create a folder or drop it into an existing one. I haven't figured out how to rename one
Thanks man. That what did they say will really come in handy!
What would put it over the top would be internal storage to store your library on it so you can watch your movies offline
Great topic
I was looking forward to this video
9:15 Wow. That's TWO use things I didn't know!
It will put it in a folder just like iPhone. Just hold an ap over some other app and a new folder creates
Great video and great video editing. The folder trick is great and I will be doing that today!
Does the Apple TV allow 2 sets of headphones to hook up with Bluetooth?
Two issues I'm having on Apple TV 4K:
1) Video doesn't start from where I left last time on VLC Player.
2) Screen mirroring from MacBook Pro to Apple TV lags at times.
Do you suggest any solutions to these issues?
Sorry I don’t. I don’t do either with mine.
Very help full I just got my first Apple TV 4K I use to use Amazon cube thought I would give Apple TV a try I have everything else Apple so I said I’m og Apple user I’ll give it a try
Thanks. 👍🏻
Color balance
Can I use the Apple TV to play all the movies in MKV / MPEG format that sit on my NAS ?
Mi mando de Ps4 pierde conexión a cada rato con el Apple TV me ayudan porfavor se los agradecería???
Learned a lot. Thank you, Craig.
Thank you Tim. That is great to hear.
Great channel, New sub from South Africa
Thank you fellow Craig. Appreciate you watching and subscribing.
Clear explanations. Learned some new stuff.
The new Apple TV supports HDMI eARC and ARC too! So now you can use your homepods as speakers for things game consoles as well!
That is a very cool addition and welcomed for a room I was trying to setup consoles in while using a stereo pair of HomePods. Thanks for sharing.
Great info
Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it.
I just start to used after a used fire tv for long honest my experience is amazing how fast is logging and define the pictured is amazing because I’m a Apple ecosystem everything is connect but one thing I wish Apple add on the future is the availability to see you text and call when you watch tv on one corner no full screen that way you pause what you watching and answer o not and read text that way you don’t have to stop and to pick up phone and give the available to disable is you don’t wanted
I like that idea Oscar. That would be a great feature and I can see them figuring out how to do it.
how do i get the smart home when i push the home screen cuz it’s not popping up
And it will put it in a folder. Just Hoover the app over the folder for like 3 sek
Can I use my Sony remote to control the Apple TV? I have a new Sony tv.
Is it worth it if I don’t have an Apple phone?
Only Apple TV can support projector and Sonos,for sound and video separation
Is there any picture or sound quality improvements with this new model ?
What’s the difference between Apple TV and the app Apple TV
eeeeh learned a few new things :)
I have a non smart Samsung N5 32 inch TV will all the things you mentioned including color balance work on it?
Great review, question, where did you get that awsome screen saver?
How do i save my movies on my hard drive of the apple tv ? It use to let me when I first got my 4 but its not letting me anymore that's why i got the 64g version to save my fav movies on the tv it self.
At the 7:26, you speak about ‘Smart Home’ button; I do not have a smart home button!! How can I insert one/active one??
BTW, I have a newer 4K with latest software.
Why 2 nd and 3 rd generation Apple TV are not having TH-cam’ app.? Why should we upgrade all time?
Do you have a video showing how you created this routine in the Apple Shortcuts app? I've tried to replicate your steps, but cannot figure out how to specify which Apple TV, or user account.

Can I connect an external drive to Apple TV to play my movie library?
No you cannot. Thanks for watching.
Great video
Excellent video
i dont know how to pair 2 sets of homepods (4 total). it only lets me do two. any tips?
The up next section does it work with Netflix , Disney+ ? Some say yes but I don’t see any other shows than Apple TV+ ?
Disney plus, Hulu and various apps do. Unfortunately Netflix and TH-cam TV don’t. Depends on the app.

If 2 household members have their own Apple ID, can you both watch Apple TV at the same time on different devices
Thanks for help man! Appreciate it very much!
Nice video my dude!
Thank you
Good video can you please help with a widget on my iPhone. Last time you helped me with my shopping list.
This time I’m looking for a widget to go on Home Screen. I want to asinine a name out of my contacts list to the widget so i call them. Thanks Len
I hated the original remote so I was thrilled to find there was a new version, but this one sucks too! Try advancing video with speed. I would trade it for the Roku remote anyway. The Apple remote is so high tech it’s just not functional. They gave yet to master the touch feature. Did I say it sucks?
I can see what you are saying. Don’t know if you tried it. But you can turn the touch side off. Then they are just regular buttons. Less accidental swipes.
What is name of app to use?
Question: I have an Android Cell Phone. Is this compabale to the Apple TV+?
Unfortunately not. You need an iCloud account and I believe you might be able to set it up with an iPad.
Just dance, gaming and emulation please
That would be nice to be able to play games outside of the traditional iOS games and Apple Arcade.
I have 6 ways of accessing the same apps ..Apples actual tv is not worth having.My smart tv can connect with airplay I have the first 4 K Apple TV and have used it once.now it’s not connected.
Craig - twasn't us - twas HBO Max - in the end had to delete account and redo - all is well now. Lovely and clear after color matching with phone - thanks for that tip! Now, next question: I have a humdinger of a 5.1 surround system I brought over from the UK - a Denon receiver and B&W Front, Center and Rear speakers. How would you recommend hooking them up? Is it even possible to get 5.1 (or something) from a stream? I have only ever played 5.1 DVDs.
