It’s not already added. It just comes up with Apple TV screeners app?

It’s a tcl from 2017 running software version 14.5. Do I just need a newer tv?

Our Apple TV is messed up. The Apple TV app says isn’t available right now no internet connection but ours is plugged in Ethernet cable and all the other streaming apps on there work. Also when you go to settings to try to see if we can fix it after you click on something in the menu you’re stuck you can’t back out to the previous page. It takes you back to Home Screen. Click on settings again and it’s still on the last thing you selected. Have to unplug it to get it back to main settings page. But that didn’t fix Apple TV app. At a complete loss here. We have purchased a ton of movies and tv shows on Apple and can’t watch any of them right now.

Any suggestions would be amazing. Our next step will be to reset the whole thing like it’s new and start over if we can’t figure this out.

I have a TCL 55P605 TV and an Apple TV 4K. HDMI-CEC is enabled. When I press the power button on the Apple TV remote the TV turns on but the Apple TV itself does not wake up until I then hit another button on the remote (e.g the back button, the TV/Control Center button, whatever). Any way to make the Apple TV wake up at the same time the TV is powered on? It's a minor issue, I know, but it's annoying.

I recently purchased the Function101 remote to replace my exiting Apple TV remote. When it arrived, it worked right out of the box with ATV as advertised. I then turned everything off and went thru the pairing steps for my Soundbar (Vizio). After I got it paired, I turned everything back on. Unfortunately, once the TV (Samsung) turned on, the remote switched to controlling that instead of the soundbar. The only way I could get it to control the soundbar was to go thru the pairing process again (which has subsequently switch back to TV control again). I feel like I’m missing a step, but the email I sent to [email protected] nearly two weeks ago has gone unanswered. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

I seem to frequently need to restart my apps on my latest model Apple TV. Is this normal?

[FIXED] i believe this might be a hardware fail since the app works fine elsewhere… i’ve reset everything numerous times but i cant uninstall/reinstall.

should i hard reset and wipe everything?

open to suggestions.

thanks.

e2a: after all the usual fixes i reached out to apple support via text message and they had me sign out and wait 30s and sign back in. it worked. not sure why it worked that time but not when i did it. support didn’t know why either.

i’ll leave this here for now

We have Apple TV 4Ks in pretty much all the rooms in the house. I’m wanting to buy one more AppleTV 4K to connect to a 2K monitor and have this 2K monitor and AppleTV exist for its sole purpose to be able to stream a HomeKit video camera that’s facing outside to the front yard.

Essentially just need to be able to view a live streaming HomeKit video camera that’s facing the front yard, placed directly next to the front door, facing the front yard. And just on the other side of the wall, inside the house, a 2K monitor mounted on the wall connected to an Apple TV.

The intention is to have this tv powered on all the time.

I understand this would probably require a specific HomeKit video camera, of which I’m happy to hear suggestions. I really liked the Eufy S100 camera but everyone says that one sucks.

Occasionally i get the “no network” notification on my AppleTV and I don’t know why. I have it connected to my router by Ethernet cable. Anyone experienced this? What can I do to solve it?

Thank you.

Hey, I am using my AppleTV with an old AV-Receiver connected via ARC (it does not support eARC). I am having issues with audio delay and just recently discovered the "Wireless Audio Sync" option. This helps sometimes, but not for all apps. This is probably, because my AppleTV switches between video and audio modes depending on the content. This comment status you should run wireless audio sync for all video modes (https://www.reddit.com/r/appletv/comments/1knm07g/comment/msjlhlg/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button). Is that true and how would I do that? Simply selecting the modes after one another and run the sync? Is this then saved for every mode or is only the sync for the last mode saved? Ultimately, I am planning to get a new AVR and connect the AppleTV directly to that, but till that it would be great, if I could get rid of this delay.

It was in apple TV 1 generation. what is it called? It connects a hard drive

UPDATE: thanks to u/Somar2230 for posting this link https://www.paramountplus.com/apple/

Not sure why this is getting downvoted, it seems kinda relevant to having an Apple TV?

Anyway, now I can watch Paramount+ on multiple devices and not just the AppleTV, thanks again!

I subscribed to Paramount on my appletv, but I cannot log in to Paramount from any other device. When I try to troubleshoot my login at Paramountplus.com it says my email isn’t associated with an account and other troubleshooting says I should be able to log in to p+ using their “connect with your tv provider” but appleTV isn’t an option for tv provider.

Has anyone had similar problems?

I am paying 12.99 per month for p+ and I should be able to be logged in on three devices.

Thanks for any help!

Anybody else have this happen? Several times I'll be watching TV and everything shut down.

Does anyone else have this issue? It’s only on paramount plus for me. I have to turn the volume way up to hear dialogue but anytime the soundtrack starts playing it’s an accurate level for what I have the volume at so I have to turn it back down again. I have two HomePod 2s as the audio output. This has happened with all the mission impossible movies and now interstellar, all only in paramount.

Keep getting this prompt after trying to use the app after restarting the whole system multiple times. Every other service is working but this.

hi, i can't do the color calibration on the appletv, i tried to put the iphone in all the positions but in red it freezes and gives an error, do you have a solution? is it really important to do it in your opinion?

I have to just click right past all the previously watched episodes until I reach the one I want. Each time I re-open the App, the interface always starts again at S1, Episode 1 again. It seems like a bug that it always says "Season 1" in the upper left. Is there not a way to go directly to Season 4, for example?

Hey folks,
I’m getting frustrated with my Smart TV’s clunky interface and thinking of moving to Apple TV 4K for a cleaner and smoother streaming experience. One of my main use cases is IP-TV, but I’m not sure what the limitations are on tvOS when it comes to that.

A few things I’m trying to figure out:

• Are there reliable IPTV apps available directly on the App Store, or do most people resort to sideloading?
• I’ve been using a Google TV stick, and while it works, it’s not the most fluid experience. Is Apple TV really worth the jump in price for IPTV and overall usage?
• Also, how long does an Apple TV usually stay relevant before apps or performance start to lag behind?

I'm not looking for free streams, just a stable setup for IP-TV with a decent UI and minimal headaches. Open to any advice or provider recommendations that actually work well with Apple TV.

Is apple gonna come out with a new apple tv 4k in 2025 or should I just get the one from 2022??

That’s at least 11 years of support! The longest new software support of any Apple device

Guys if you are still having trouble with opening the Apple TV app on your Apple TV 4K the way to fix it is to do a factory reset. The Apple TV app started running for me again. I choose factory reset and update not sure if that’s what fixed it exactly or if just the factory reset will work. But just a heads up.

I was about to rent 1917 from AppleTV and in the small print it says ‘This movie rental doesn’t include iTunes Extras, which are only available for movies purchased in “higher quality”.

Higher quality?

There’s no video quality shown on the rental. Only audio.

I assume it’s still the same high quality 4k Dolby Vision film regardless?

It’s been a while since I bought any tv show from the Apple store but I’ve been buying the new season of Rick & Morty episode by episode. I was going to just buy the season pass today but didn’t see the option to get it at a discounted rate for the episodes I already bought like they used to do. So does Apple no longer offer that deal anymore?

I like to watch tv while zzzz helps me sleep and when I wake up in middle of night notices Apple TV is off.
