Re: apple tv question
Hi. That depends on what you're using your Apple tv for. If you try to duplicate the screen from your Mac without having turned on your tv, nothing happens. Of course no picture but no sound as well. The same happens if you go into any app which shows some video. It's only audio stuff which works without a tv.

Re: apple tv question
Would there be any point in a blind person jail breaking one? I'm sure none of the alternative systems have accessibility in them unless it's just the same OS with apps. I think all it can do is stream whatever ITunes can play, and the things it supports on its own right now, but I don't think it complies with that standard that all the other boxes do that will just take in whatever it can get from anything on the network. - Original Message - From: "Sieghard Weitzel" To: Sent: Monday, November 05, 2012 1:38 PM Subject: RE: apple tv question Hi Will, I can't answer your first question regarding whether it can stream Avi files, however, I can tell you that currently you cannot install any apps unless you Jailbreak the apple TV.

RE: apple TV question
Hi, I have the opposite problem. I do not use the radio on the Apple TV because it is a pain to stop when I want to do something else. It is the same with their other music service that keeps trying to sell me albums instead of letting me go do other things instead of just switching me to a different app. I generally use Vevo for music listening on the Apple TV. Or Airplay something from my PC or iPhone. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.

It could be the quality of your WiFi which would include interference from other wireless devices and so on. Could you connect your Apple TV to your router via a network cable and see if the problem persists? That would really be the only way to make sure your WiFi is not the cause and in situations like that you have to start illiminating potential causes.

I tried listening to a couple old time radio stations the other night and they would just go away and I would get a message that an error had occured loading the stations. Other times when they've disappeared there has been no message at all. I just wondered if any one else has run into this problem happening.

Re: apple tv question
Yes and this shouldn't be happening. I actually went out and bought a Netgear extender. I thought this would help but it isn't. It really shouldn't matter if your on wireless or not as long as you have a descent signal. I have a 72 percent signal in my bedroom where my Apple tv is. We may need to report this too Apple.

That's true. Maybe also switch to 5 GHZ this may fix the whole problem. I am thinking about this.

RE: apple tv question
Scott, Is this something new? I have not had issues with my Apple TV which is also on WiFi and apart from Patty's message haven't read anything about others having problems wth their Apple TV. There are many factors which could effect WiFi reliability. Here is one example: about a year ago or so I had a hard time connecting my iPhone and laptop to the WiFi at my business and one of my employees experienced the same with a different iPhone (I have a 5S and he has a 4S). In other words, 3 different devices had problems even though signal strength was fine, I could be standing right next to the modem and it was still not reliable. I ended up buying a different modem, then I bought a high-end Cisco business class access point with this big antenna and nothing helped. To make a long story short, the problem was a Logitech external wireless soundcard. I think it's called an X-Fi, but I can't remember. It basically consists of a base unit which you can connect to a computer via USB and then you have remote units (you can have multiple remote units) which receive the signal from that base unit and which you can connect to a speaker or different speakers in different rooms. Anyhow, for some reason I thought I should take away other wireless devices and as soon as I disconnected this wireless sound card I had no more issues connecting to my WiFi and getting fast download speeds etc. Before even if my laptop connected and I tried to play a video over my local area network (just something I had on my server's hard drive) it would only play a few seconds at a time and then buffer for a long time, then another 5 seconds or so etc. All these issues went away once that other device was out of the picture. Having a modem which is capable of 2.4 and 5 Ghz would definitely help especially in an environment where you have lots of WiFi networks and maybe where people have various other wireless devices like cordless phones and so on around you and you can't necessarily control what is being used, but being on an older model which is only capable of 2.4 Ghz may not necessarily be the only issue.

Hi, 5 GHz fixed most of our issues. The only time we have issues now is when our ISP hiccups which is more often than not the last week or so and happens usually at peak times in the afternoon. It is purely an issue with the ISP and we have been aware of their issues for as long as we have been a customer. Still at this point where we live and rent, it is the best option for us at this time. Merv -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: Apple TV question
I think it will stay a rumor. I mean, look at what it already does. Supports 1080P, that makes no difference to the blind, has channels for all audiences, you can play your purchases from the cloud directly on there, stream your personal collection from iTunes, and you can airplay it to your mac or PC if you want. The only thing I could see them doing is possibly giving it a built in hard drive, whitch I highly doubt, or making it faster, even though what speed it goes at now seems just fine with me. I read a article a couple years back that appleTV was just a pet project, and they didn’t expect it to go any where. Guess we will see what happens. Frustrated with your Mac, I-device, or AppleTV?

RE: Apple TV question
Hi Kliph, I think a new Apple TV in 2015 is almost a certainty. They will not add a hard drive or at least it is highly unlikely. However, a new Apple TV could replace your cable or satellite receiver and offer you access to everything you currently get from your cable or satellite provider. Developers have also found code which indicates a new Apple TV could be tied into Home kit and become a hub for all your home automation and connected devices such as thermostats, door locks, security systems and so on. Furthermore a new Apple TV would most likely get its own app store so third party developers can make their own apps for Apple TV. This means you would be able to use many apps you use on your phone on your Apple TV like your favorite Podcast apps, things like Audible, Spotify or even your banking apps and then there of course is gaming. In short, there is a hole lot Apple could add and while it may have started out as a pet project, I don’t believe that it is and just because apple hasn’t updated it in several years doesn’t mean they aren’t working on something which when it will come out blow everybody’s mind. Steve Jobbs said at one point that he solved the issue of the living room or whichever way he phrased it and whatever apple is going to do probably is just taking time. For one thing they have to negotiate with all the content providers so they can offer all the channels available which you are used to getting through your cable or satellite provider. Wouldn’t a fully accessible set top box which gives you access to anything you want plus offer an app store and full access to home automation be nice? Why use my iPhone and run down it’s battery when I’m at home if I can do everything I can do with my iPhone on my Apple TV?

I mean, look at what it already does. Supports 1080P, that makes no difference to the blind, has channels for all audiences, you can play your purchases from the cloud directly on there, stream your personal collection from iTunes, and you can airplay it to your mac or PC if you want. The only thing I could see them doing is possibly giving it a built in hard drive, whitch I highly doubt, or making it faster, even though what speed it goes at now seems just fine with me. I read a article a couple years back that appleTV was just a pet project, and they didn’t expect it to go any where. Guess we will see what happens. Frustrated with your Mac, I-device, or AppleTV?

RE: Apple TV question
Hi, I am all for an updated Apple TV. The only reason we have not pulled the plug is because the ISP discourages it with tier pricing. Plus some of the apps we already use on the Apple TV work better if we do not unplug. The day will come, however, and I think sooner than later, when the Apple TV with voice is all we will need.

RE: Apple TV question
Apple sells refurbished models on their own online store. You can of course buy a brand new Apple TV for the full $100.00 or score one for sale, but it’s still going to be the same 2012 model that Apple will sell you refurbished and with one year Apple Care for $75.00. Refurbished can mean many things. Maybe they are opened boxes returned for this or that reason. Perhaps a cable or internal part was replaced, cosmetic fixes and so on, but this way you would be getting it directly from Apple with Apples guaranty. Some people are fundamentaly opposed to buyign refurbished. That’s their perogative. I just don’t’ see much sense in paying full retail or even more than what I would pay on sale for a reconditioned model that is going on three years when you can get it straight from the manufacturer. Now, if you want to have the latest and greatest, then that’s something totally different, but as Apple has taken their sweet time in updating the Apple TV, it would depend on how much you want to wait. Maybe three months, maybe another year… Besides, if you want to get something now, then again, my recommendation would be to save yourself the $25.00 and just grab a refurb Apple TV from the Apple online store.

Re: Apple TV Question
Hi Richard, If all you want to do is stream purely audio programming, such as your iTunes, or other audio sources through your Apple TV to the sound bar, you don't need a TV. However, if you want to watch something on the Apple TV which has a video component, such as Netflix, or some other video thing, then yes, you need that TV connection. Or the thing won't work. It needs to see the video. That doesn't mean you have to use the TV for your audio. But it does mean you need the HDMI from your AppleTV to the television. This is true for my first generation Apple TV. I have no reason to think it would be any different for the second generation, but I can't prove it. When I looked up the differences, the only thing I found was at the second-generation let you have a higher video then what I have, 1080 P versus whatever it is I have that I don't remember.

RE: Apple TV Question
If your Soundbar has a digital optical input you should be able to run a tosslink optical cable from the optical output of the Apple TV to the optical input of your soundbar. I am not sure why soundbars even use HDMI since HDMI is for video and autio in one connection and you only need to send audio to the soundbar. Most soundbars I have seen have an optical input which you connect to the optical output of your TV and some maybe have some analogue inputs. I guess the primary purpose of a soundbar is to replace the TV speakers which is why many of them just have an optical input which connects to your TV and the TV becomes your hub for all your devices.

Re: Apple TV Question
Not true. The HDMI cable does have sound, but it also pushes the video, and when you have a sound bar that has this feature, you don’t need the optical cable. I use the HDMI cable from my sound bar to my TV, and both audio and video are pushed through the HDMI cable, get a HD picture on the TV, as well as HD sound.

Re: Apple TV Question
Well, my sound bar does not work well if I connect the digital optical cable. I get very choppy voiceover, such that it really is not usable. But, if I use the analog cable from the AppleTV to the sound bar, it works fine. You could I suppose do the HDMI thing, from the Apple TV to the TV and from the tv to the sound bar if your sound bar has an HDMI input. That should work too.

Hi Mary, You say "when I use the analogue cable from the Apple TV to the sounbar it works fine". What cable is that?

RE: Apple TV Question
Hi, I have both the HDMI and the digital audio connected to the Apple TV. The digital audio goes to the Samsung Sound bar and the HDMI goes to the Samsung sixty inch Television. So I can do audio from the computer which is both my ACER and an HP laptop or I can do audio from my iPhone 5S via airplay through the Sound bar without the TV being on. I Can also do it through the Apple TV via the HDMI via the television without the Sound bar being on but the sound is not nearly as good. I can also do any Apple TV app such as Netflix or Hulu Plus without turning on the television simply by turning on the sound bar and the Apple TV. And then controlling everything via the Apple TV remote. I discovered all of this totally by accident after having all of this connected this way for a year. I should have known better being that I worked at a flesh and blood radio station back in the eighties for years when they still required you study and get a physical paper license to be a DJ. It's not like today when anyone with a sound card can call themselves a DJ, Laughs! -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: Apple TV Question
Richard .. No .. you can then actually get sound out of both places .. however I find there is a slight lag and get a tiny bit of echo .. strangely the echo only seems to be on dialogue... What I have done is ... HDMI - Apple TV to TV HDMI - Dish receiver to TV HDMI - Blue ray DVD to TV Digital audio - Apple TV to Sound bar Digital audio - Dish receiver to sound bar Digital audio - DVD player to sound bar Actually the connections all run into a splitter then into the sound bar. This way I can get the audio from all inputs out through the sound bar, my sound bar has only 2 inputs. I also can just get it from the TV as all of these are connected to the TV via HDMI. Never have to turn the TV on to actually watch TV or a DVD. Only need the TV when watching video content from Apple TV, and then a lot of times after it gets going can turn off the TV and continue listening via the sound bar. If you want to contact me off list .. that is fine: pdlloga...@gmail.com and I can hopefully help you out. I just setup this last month...

So I have the HDMI connected as well as the Optical however, I do not actually use it all that much. I use the video but for the sound I prefer the optical coming out of the Apple TV to the Sound bar and it's wireless subwoofer.

Re: Apple TV Question
Sorry, sieghard. What I meant to say was that there is an analog Eout on the TV which goes to an analog in on the sound bar. So, I have the HDMI from the AppleTV to the television. Then I have analog from the television to the sound bar. If I try to use the digital optical direct from the AppleTV to the sound bar, voiceover is unusably choppy.

RE: Apple TV Question
Hi, For awhile, we have been thinking about purchasing an Apple Tv because, apparently, it is easier to access Netflix and other such services on the Apple Tv, as opposed to the Apps on the iDevices. We have the bose Sound bar, but, we have connected it directly to the audio outputs on our cable box, rather than the TV. We do have a Samsung TV, which we use when we have company; but, since my husband and I are totally blind, we simply want the audio. So, here's the question, rather than connecting the Apple TV to the actual TV set, can we connect it directly to the cable box and still get Netflix? I was wondering if that is possible because isn't the video signal, like the audio signal, coming from the cable box?

Re: Apple TV Question
Hi, Not that I'm aware of unfortunately. As part of network diagnostics it does do a small speed test but helpfully it doesn't actually tell you the speed that it got. NB: I last did this a couple of upgrades ago so this may have changed. In an effort to narrow down the problem you could try connecting over Ethernet instead of wireless to see if that's the issue or not. Cheers, Ben.

Re: Apple Tv Question
Are use AppleTV for the Apple events, makes it much easier to not have to go through somebody all the time., Are you for Netflix, Hulu, and crackle, Netflix carries some of the video that is described. I've used it for bread box, and let's see, some of the shopping channels I like you don't want to have a service provider and less I have to you can I would so get many of the news channels, and a lot of the different cable network channels. Sam you have to have a provider for, but then you put in your email address and password and they check it out and what you go. I have Travel Channel, sci-fi Channel, do it yourself network, HGTV, discovery channel, investigation discovery you're also eligible for any of the things that you would have on iTunes itself. All of the radio stations, if you have a playlist attached to your computer and/or your iPhone you can play it on there as well to cover more area in your home. I have a to our nature clip that I play a lot of times when I'm trying to really just relaxin mellow out. It also works for tiny tiny babies by the way. The 14-month-old loves it. :-) excuse any off-the-wall pronunciations here. I'm doing this with lots of noise and people and so my dictation maybe off-the-wall.

RE: apple TV question
Most new smart TV's have the Apple TV app, however while many smart TV's now have some sort of screenreader and accessibility, I still question if they can match an actual Apple TV with respect to accessibility. As for downloading an Apple TV app I doubt that is possible, either your smart TV has Apple TV or it does not. Keep in mind that The Apple TV 4K as in the physical device is m ore than the Apple TV service. You can access other things like Netflix, Disney Plus, Apple Music and so on via your Apple TV and you can also use the Netflix app, Disney Plus app and so on which are built in to your smart TV. For that matter you could get a Roku TV stick for $20 or $30 and you also get access to all of that. There is a lot of duplication so you just have to decide what you think you need in order to accomplish what you want to accomplish. The Apple TV 4K which was just recently released is not all that expensive, but if all you do is watch Netflix and Disney Plus and you find you can do this accessibly through your TV then you probably don't need it. -Original Message- From: jedbar...@gmail.com On Behalf Of Jed Barton Sent: Wednesday, November 23, 2022 7:30 AM To: viphone Subject: apple TV question Hey guys, Hope everyone is doing well.

RE: apple tv question
Jed, unless you list the exact model of smart TV you have nobody can tell you what you need. The fact is that most smart TV's have apps for the major streaming services preinstalled, e.g. Netflix, Disney Plus, Apple TV, Prime Video etc. Furthermore most smart TV's have their own app store where you can download additional apps if they are available for the platform your TV uses. The most common ones would be Roku, Web OS (that is LG) and Google TV (Sony and many others). Also most new smart TV's have some sort of screenreader built in, but how well it works you would have to try and I would venture a claim which is that most likely the Apple TV box with Voiceover probably is still the best experience for a blind person. We have one of the higher-end LG OLED TV's, the C-series although ours is from 2 years ago and there are new ones this year, but we also still have just bought a new Applt TV 4K, also the one which was released this year. Partly we also do this because it acts as a hub for Apple Home Kit and if you buy the 128 Gb version which I believe is $149.99 in the US you get a device which also has an ethernet port and is capable of thread networking which may or may not become important in the years to come. This is a protocol used by the new "Matter" smart home standard and Apple, Google and I believe Amazon have all signed on and said they will support it. Basically if you have a thread network capable device such as an Apple TV or a router (many of the new routers are also thread network enabled) then connected home devices can talk directly to each other without having to go out over WiFi. This is of course just a simple explanation, if you want to know more you can Google it as there are many articles available about Matter and thread networking. Also, if you, for example, have a Sonos Arc which can play Dolby Atmos and you want to take advantage of Apple Music songs which are encoded for Dolby Atmos (special audio) you have to play them on your Apple TV which is connected to the Sonos Arc soundbar via the TV. You can play Apple Music directly from the Sonos app, but at least at this point you don't get special audio that way. -Original Message- From: jedbar...@gmail.com On Behalf Of Jed Barton Sent: Friday, December 2, 2022 12:00 PM To: viphone Subject: apple tv question Hey guys, Hope all is well.

RE: Apple TV Question
I do not think that is possible, unless you can install the Stream app from Comcast on the Apple TV. I believe their accessibility people may know the answer quickly.

Re: Apple TV Question
I do not believe there is an app for Xfinity for Apple TV. I just looked, and Siri couldn’t find anything. There is one for the fire TV, but it’s kind of lousy in terms of accessibility. The streaming app for the phone is much better accessibility wise.
