So, something like a cable box then. I wonder if it will provide any of the sports channels.
At the moment like big ten, big 12, ESPN and ESPN2 and golf tennis all those sports channels NFL and MBA and such. Also, then if connecting it to the TV, I then presume for the sighted folks, they will actually see the programs? I did Google it, but well, it really didn't appear to be all that much to invest into. I also would love to cut out the big cable company, but from what I read, you have to pay for Netflix, and I didn't see any of the big news channels listed anywhere's like fox news and such. _____ From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Patti Johnson Sent: Monday, October 26, 2015 12:05 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: New Apple TV In The Apple Store 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.

I cut cable a long time ago, because many of the 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.

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. _____ From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of MamaPeach Sent: Monday, October 26, 2015 10:04 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: New Apple TV In The Apple Store 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.
