Jeff, Thanks. While I was able to feel the unit in the store they did not have it hooked up for any service. Would you mind letting me know which button on the remote gets pressed (I’m assuming the triple press) to turn VO on? The girl while knowledgeable about the phone was not able to tell me much about the Apple TV & VO or how to get VO up and running without the unit actually operating.
Thanks. Looks like I’ll be getting them! Eileen From: Jeff Berwick Sent: Saturday, December 16, 2017 2:47 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Apple TV Questions/Considerations? 1. All the Apple TV needs is an HDMI port—the TV doesn’t have to be smart. 2. I don’t use Amazon Prime, but I suspect it is an app and, therefore, as long as Amazon has programmed in accessibility, it will be fine. 3. The Apple TV is fully accessible as it has Voiceover builtin. I have a couple of Apple TV IV units and haven’t had any trouble doing the administration of them myself.

I’m considering getting 2 Apple TV’s with the gift cards. I want to be sure I’m doing the right thing before purchasing them and encountering problems. First, I have relatively new television sets, Samsung 32” inch, but I really am not sure if it is a “Smart” TV. I know the TV’s have HDMI ports which are needed for Apple TV. If they are not Smart TV’s will it make a difference with using Apple TV? I don’t want to get the Apple TV only to find out that I’ll have to upgrade TV’s that are only 3-4 years old and in totally good condition. Second, the tech people at Apple tell me the Apple TV will work with Amazon Prime which is the only alternate type of service I have in addition to my cable provider. Does anyone know if this is correct? Finally when I was in the Apple store I saw the Apple TV, I think it was the IV, and I’m wondering what anyone else’s experience has been with accessibility for a totally blind person in both using it as well as getting it set up? And, also I know they come with either 32 or 64 memory and I’m wondering how to determine the better choice for myself. I probably won’t use it for looking at pictures, but am not sure of the reasons why I’d need greater memory. I’m wondering what other types of things the device can do other than the various TV watching apps. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.
