RE: any tips for using apple tv with YoutubeTV and Voiceover?

[sarai.bucciarelli]

Thank you! This is wonderful information.

Is there any way to add channels to favorites without hiding any?

I’d usually figure all this out on my own but am trying to take advantage of 
the 10 day free trial.

Sincerely,Well Sarai,

 

  While I cannot point you to any specific documentation, I would 
be happy to give you a couple of usage tips.  First, here's how to activate 
audio description.  IF you are using an Apple TV box.

 

  Remember that when you first launch Youtube TV, 5.1 channel sound 
will be activated.  To access audio description, you will need to turn this 
off.  here's how:

 

1.  From the main screen, go right until you hear "accounts". press this.

 

2.  Now, go down to settings.  Press this.

 

3.  Next, go down to 5.1 channel surround.  Press this.  Press again to turn it 
off.

4.  Now, tune to a channel which you know has audio description.

 

5.  Once there, press down until you hear, "networks".  

6.  Now, go left until you hear "settings".  press this.  You should now be in 
the audio menus.  Select secondary from this point.

 

To choose your favorite channels, you will want to use your iphone to do this.  
Make sure you are logged in to youtube TV on your phone.  Now, click on account 
and then channel guide.

 

>From here, it's easy to pick the channels you want and get rid of the once you 
>don't.  

 

HTH.

Re: any tips for using apple tv with YoutubeTV and Voiceover?

[Raymond Foret Jr]

Yo Mark,

First of all, I learned about this configuration partly from desperately 
experimenting with it and also just plain trying this and that till I found it. 
 Sometimes that's what you've just got to do in lue of an instruction manual 
right?  Anyhow, to get now to your other questions.

1.  Most major cable networks now offer some level of audio description.  Here 
are just a few examples:

a:  TCM.

B:  USA.

C:  TrueTV
D:  TBS:
E:  TNT.

Now, as for your phone, you will not need to turn off 5.1 channel sound due to 
the fact that it's not part of your phone'
s normal sound compliment.

One very important detail to bear in mind.  This applies to both your Apple TV 
box and phone.  If you want a channel to play audio description, you must first 
tune to that channel and then go down till you hear "networks.  Then go left 
till you hear "settings". Press this then make sure you are all the way to the 
left where the audio settings are.  
On your phone, it's done a little differently.  There's a menu with subtitles 
and audio that you double click.  Once on that screen, you want then to insure 
you are focused on the audio menu.  Go from there.

Keep in mind that even after you press on for audio description, it will not 
stay that way.  IF you tune away from a channel, you must follow the steps 
before to get audio description to play again.

The Constantly Barefooted Ray

Re: any tips for using apple tv with YoutubeTV and Voiceover?

[M. Taylor]

Hello Raymond,

This is excellent advice.

I love Youtube TV on my Apple TV.

I did not know that one has to disable 5.1 audio in order to enable audio 
description.

I am going to try this, later, today.

Can you tell me how you learned of this configuration?

Also, do you know of any networks that support Audio description here in 
the US or is the feature available on a show by show basis?

Finally, do I need to make a similar audio adjustment when using Youtube TV 
on my iPhone / iPad?

I look forward to your reply and, again, thank you for the great info.

Mark

Sincerely,Well Sarai,

While I cannot point you to any specific documentation, I would be 
happy to give you a couple of usage tips.  First, here's how to activate audio 
description.  IF you are using an Apple TV box.

Remember that when you first launch Youtube TV, 5.1 channel sound will 
be activated.  To access audio description, you will need to turn this off.  
here's how:

1.  From the main screen, go right until you hear "accounts". press this.

2.  Now, go down to settings.  Press this.

3.  Next, go down to 5.1 channel surround.  Press this.  Press again to turn it 
off.
4.  Now, tune to a channel which you know has audio description.

5.  Once there, press down until you hear, "networks".  
6.  Now, go left until you hear "settings".  press this.  You should now be in 
the audio menus.  Select secondary from this point.

To choose your favorite channels, you will want to use your iphone to do this.  
Make sure you are logged in to youtube TV on your phone.  Now, click on account

any tips for using apple tv with YoutubeTV and Voiceover?

[sarai.bucciarelli]

I broke down and am trying YoutubeTV. They have a free 10 day trial with $20
off first three months. Any documentation to point me to get it up and
running on Apple tv?

I got the app started but want to learn how to best find channels, favorite
them, and record shows.

Feel free to point me to documentation. I have 10 days to decide if I want
to keep it.

I mainly got it for the SEC baseball tournament. Lol.
