I am using a 2nd generation Apple TV and YouTube is still working on mine. I use it every day.
From: Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Monday, October 26, 2015 1:44 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: New Apple TV In The Apple Store Primarily it is the SIRI capable remote and the fact that the new Apple TV has access to its own app store. I also would assume that eventually there will be new content which may not be available on the third gen Apple TV. One example already is Youtube. As of a few months ago the Youtube app is gone from the old Apple TV and while you could still watch Youtube on your TV via the Apple TV by playing it on your iOS device and sending it to the Apple TV using Airplay, it is nice to just sit on the couch and check out Youtube content on the Apple TV. For me that alone is almost worth it and combining it with having access to voice control via SIRI and an app store which has huge potential means I just ordered my new Apple TV from the Canadian online Apple Store using the Apple Store app. For once Apple is not price gouging like they are doing with the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus on contract. The 64 Gb Apple TV which is $199 US is $269 canadian and at 30% more that is right in line and actually maybe a few percent better than the current exchange rate. If you go for the 32 Gb option for $149, it’s only an extra $80 more than the third gen Apple TV and if you are a first time buyer I think it’s a no-brainer.

You can get an Apple TV 3 for $69 and it offers lots of content. More than I have time to use personally and I have no problem with the included remote or with the remote app on the IPhone. It will be interesting to see what the added features are. Thanks for the info.

I want to get rid of my cable as well because the price is just too much for what it offers. Where can I find out what is available on apple tv? Should I just google it?

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.
