Pablo,
There are only 3 buttons on the remote of the Apple TV:
At the top is one big button which is Enter/Select if you press the
middle
part, if you press the top, bottom, left or right edge it is up, down,
left
and right arrow and they move you through the menus and the on-screen
keyboard if you need to type something like your Apple Id or Password.
Underneath that big button are 2 side by side buttons: the left is the
Menu/Back button and the right is the Play/Pause button.
The menu structure is pretty simple, e.g. Movies, Music, Comoputer,
Settings
etc. You just arrow around and press the middle part of the big button to
select something.
If you want to enter text it's a bit slow using the remote, you basically
get the alphabet and have to arrow around until you find the letter you
want, then press enter/select.
Keep in mind that you can also use a Bluetooth keyboard with the Apple
TV,
you can just use your arrow keys to move around and enter to select. The
big
advantage is that if you want to enter text to search form something you
can
just type it on the Bluetooth keyboard, it works great.
Also keep in mind that Apple gives you 30 days to return something you
buy.
The Apple TV is only $99, so not a super expensive item and if you order
it
online and want to return it you just have to call them up and they'll
send
you a label to return it, won't cost you a dime. Of course if you are
near
an Apple Store you can just buy one there and return it for an immediate
refund after you play around with it for 3 weeks or so.
Regards,
Sieghard

Hi MamaPeach
I am not pretty sure, but I think that the apple TV comes with a remote
control?
Now, if it is true, how voice over is handled with a remote control, if
we
are reaching buttons to know what voice over is doing? You know, to select
a
function on our phones, we select the button that we want, and we make a
double tab on what ever we want. But in a remote control, how is it?
is a way to use it with our iPhones?

I totally love the Apple TV. I would recommend it to any visually

user as it is totally accessible with VoiceOver.

Pablo I would highly recommend you stay away from it. Remember it's an
Apple Voice Over product and you know how much you hate the way they
function.

Hi,
If you want complete accessibility, unfortunately the only two ways to
go are Apple TV or a dedicated media center PC connected directly to
the TV. The Apple TV works best for people who subscribe to the Apple
ecosystem as you have noticed and the dedicated computer approach is
over kill for most people.
I upgraded the hard drive in an old netbook and repurposed it as an
iTunes server; it sits in our atic serving content to the Apple TV and
also runs a DLNA server for some other devices. I'm not a fan of the
approach that Apple have taken with the Apple TV but I have to admit
my setup generally works pretty well.
Cheers,
Ben.

Hi,
That's correct; unfortunately the format has to be one that iTunes
can
work with.
Cheers,

Ok, if I have my computer sharing on iTunes. But it means that the
movie
format should be supported by apple?
Like mov, mp4, but it doesn't work for avi, or mpg?

The accessibility is great. With voice over you can read the
items
on
the
screen, search and play in youtube, Etc. If you subscribe to
Netflicks,
you
can read about movies, rate them or put them in your favorites to
view
later, Etc.
As far as watching movies from your computer, if you have computer
sharing
on in iTunes, you should be able to watch those videos.

Hi all.
Yesterday I was talking to some one about the apple tv. I
understood
that
it is a device that allow my tv to be connected to the wifi network
in
my
home. But I have some questions about it.
1. If I have movies or videos stored in my computer, for example
old
movies. With this device I am able to play the videos stored in my
computer
on my TV?
2. Is possible to play internet videos, like youtube, or just
movies
from
internet on my tv?
3. this device has voice over? how is the accessibility?
Thanks in advance.
Pablo
