Let us know what it does offer as far as content.
I am very curious. I have the 3rd gen apple tv and wonder if I'd like
to get the new one.

channels that cable offers are things I just don’t watch. With Apple
TV, I pay for a NetFlix subscription and a Hulu+ subscription and get
a lot of content just with those too. I enjoy other applications as
well, such as Lifetime, A&E, YouTube, ABC, NBC, CBS, etc. There is so
much available, on the 2nd generation alone there are 71 apps, not
counting all the content you can access through the iTunes store, and
the new generation is supposed to have so much more. I am looking
forward to Voice Recognition and playing around with Siri. I would
rather have a Roku as Roku offers tons and tons and tons of channels,
but the Roku has no VoiceOver or any other speech which makes it
toally useless for a blind person. Apple TV, with VoiceOver enabled,
is a great set top box for a blind individual. I can’t wait to see
what all the new version does offer.*

Besides the easy way to look at the menus, can't one just get all
those channels through their normal television sets?
I know this isn't in all states and countries, but some cable
companies are now having accessible ways to use menus through the
television set itself.
Got to see it in action when I went to visit family a few weeks ago.
Just trying to see the difference.
I mean also besides the menus, the person can listen to music and do
pictures, but well, streaming pictures through my television set won't
work.
Just some curious questions.
Never seen an apple TV in action, and for me, it just seems like just
one more thing to hook up to your television.

It's an honest mistake. When people hear about Apple TV, Google TV, or
Android TV, they picture a big screen television with special
features. While a Google TV needs its own explanation, an Apple TV is
a small network media player that can stream both from your home
computers and from online.
Apple TV is a small device ( similar in size and appearance to the
Roku Box or Amazon FireTV) that uses an HDMI cable to connect to your
television.
It also uses Wifi (or Ethernet) to connect to your home network and
the internet.
The purpose of Apple TV is to provide users with the ability to stream
media, such as photos, movies and music from iPhones, the iTunes
store, or from other partners like Netflix, HuluPlus, and more
recently HBOGO or HBONow, to enjoy on your TV and home theater audio
system.
**The Apple TV has VoiceOver on it so blind people are able to
navigate the device and play all provided content. I have had an Apple
TV for several years now and I am able to use it without any sighted
assistance with the use of the VoiceOver feature. The new Apple TV is
supposed to be so much better than the one I have, which is the 2nd
generation.**

Hello list
Sorry for my ignorance but exactly what is an apple tv and what use
and value does it have for blind users?
