Hey Alex, I did see it on my phone, but never heard any audio descriptions. Not sure if this was because of the older Apple TV, or because that particular program didn't have it. Anyway, it's all up and running now on both the TV and my phone. thanks again for the help. Cheers, Donna > On Ma

Re: couple of questions re Audio descriptions on NetFlix

Nah, I was wondering if you could use your Mac as a BT keyboard. Sounds like you can't, but no biggie, we have some BT keyboards around here somewhere. Can someone clarify which is the menu button and which is the home button? Pressing buttons on the remote isn't producing consistent behavior.

Re: couple of questions re Audio descriptions on NetFlix

Pair with a Mac? Not sure what you mean there. But yes, you can pair the Apple TV with a Bluetooth keyboard. Ours is paired with my older style Apple Bluetooth keyboard. You can do airplay from the Mac. But I don't think that's what you meant, is it? Mary Sent from my iPhone > On May 21, 2016

Re: couple of questions re Audio descriptions on NetFlix

Nevertheless, it's odd you didn't see the option on your phone either, as it's absolutely there on iOS9. Possibly iOS8 as well, I don't remember. Yes, you can pair a keyboard directly with the newest Apple TV. I don't know the exact steps, but it was a feature in a recent update so guides will b

Yep. We actually checked the model number, and it was in fact a second GEN. I was quite surprised. Sorry for sending everyone on a wild goose chase. :-) We are now the proud owners of a fourth GEN Apple TV! :-) One question, what's the deal with the keyboard? Can a pair with the Mac or does it

Re: couple of questions re Audio descriptions on NetFlix

Hi Donna. Yes, it looks like your AppleTV is a second generation model. Even then, that's not how you activate audio descriptions and Netflix. It's done within the Netflix app itself. Press the center button on the remote, and hold it. Whatever you're watching will stop, and voiceover should let

Re: couple of questions re Audio descriptions on NetFlix

You know, I'm not seeing any of this. All I see is Voiceover, Use Pitch, Speech rate, Accessibility menu--which only seems to include VO and captioning. I would have sworn it was 3rd gen, but now I'm starting to wonder if our Apple TV is a second Gen after all. Cheers, Donna > On May 20, 2016,
