Apple TV Adds HomeKit Functionality In Latest Beta Update

Oliver Haslam·October 8, 2014

Apple may have famously called the Apple TV a 'hobby' but it's becoming clear that the little puck is about to become much more than what it is in its current form. Woefully neglected over the years, Apple's TV accessory appears to be on the verge of becoming the center of a new system that will see our homes become more connected than ever.

Apple TV Gets iOS 8 P2P AirPlay Support In Latest Update

Ben Reid·September 24, 2014

In adding a bunch of new features to its OS X and iOS software just lately, Apple also made time for the oft-forgotten Apple TV, which was pushed to software version 7.0 a short while ago. But one of the flagship features to be integrated with the wider Apple device family - peer-to-peer AirPlay - is limited only to the very latest revision of the Apple TV hardware released in 2013, which is a bit of a downer for those in ownership of what they believed was a compliant 3rd-gen Apple TV.

Apple TV Gets A Brand New Channel: NFL Now

Ben Reid·August 21, 2014

Prompted into action by Google's release of the Chromecast dongle last year, Apple has been on something of a mission to bring more content to its famed set-top. Sure, we haven't seen any new hardware for a good couple of years now as far as Apple TV is concerned, but for those in ownership of the current-gen models, there are now dozens of channels and services to choose from. For sports fans, the introduction of NFL Now is likely to go down well, and if you don't happen to own the Cupertino company's little black box, you'll be pleased to learn that Amazon Fire TV and Yahoo Screen should also reap the benefits of NFL Now over the next few weeks.

How To Use Any Third-Party Remote With Apple TV

Ben Reid·August 7, 2014

Let's not beat around the bush - the Apple TV remote is a pretty poor imitation of how a remote control should function. Sure, it's nice and slim, but for me, the minuscule form factor only makes it easier to lose down the side of the sofa. Suffice to say that I, like many Apple TV users, tend to use an iOS device for the purpose of controlling the set-top, which makes for a much more enjoyable experience overall. While using iPhones and such for remote controlling is nothing particularly new, what you may not have known is that you can also train Apple TV to use ordinary third-party remotes, and below, we'll show you how to do so.

Apple TV has been getting quite a bit more attention from Apple of late, and with the announcement of iOS 8 back at WWDC, we also knew that the software running on the set-top box would also be subject to enhancement. Today, the company has rolled out a new beta of Apple TV's alternative iOS software, which features some aesthetic tweaks in-keeping with the appearance of the wider product line-up.

Paul Morris·July 29, 2014

If you're going to build a piece of software that will surely annoy one of the world's largest tech company, then you may as well choose one that is at the top of its game.

Ben Reid·June 18, 2014

Apple today launched a new, entry-level iMac to the fold, and as is often the case with hardware upgrades and refreshes from the fruit company, we've also got a spate of price drops to report on.

iOS 8 Drops Support For Apple TV 2G

Ben Reid·June 18, 2014

In our continued quest to source all of the new features and quirks hidden within the depths of iOS 8 and OS X 10.10 Yosemite, many discoveries have been made over the past couple of weeks since the grand unveiling of Apple's new software pairing at WWDC, and it's fair to say that whilst some have been very encouraging, not all news has been good. Now, it would appear that the second-gen Apple TV is about to join the iPhone 4 on the list of devices missing out on further software updates, thanks to clues concealed within today's software bump.
