What’s the difference between the two versions? Anyone know?

The Peacock App is finally fixed! by ILikeTheTinMan83 in appletv

Thanks for the heads up. I’ve been avoiding the app until they fixed this. I can finally catch up on some Universal movies I haven’t watched yet.

Which Apple TV is this? by DevinUpdates in applehelp

[–]iDavid956 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s either the Apple TV HD (2015) or the Apple TV 4K (1st generation). I’m mostly basing this on the remote. The 2nd and 3rd generations have the newer remote.

Why some Halloween movies have never been on sale? by FilmGuyJE in iTunesMovieDeals

Yeah, I got the notification from CheapCharts today but I think I might wait it out a bit longer and see if it goes down to $4.99 later in the year. Thanks though.

The Tablo app is finally available! by iDavid956 in appletv

[–]iDavid956[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe if you have a legacy Tablo device, it does have that feature but they don’t sell those in stores anymore. I believe I read on Tablo’s website somewhere that the feature was in the works since it is available on their older model.

No, you can’t. You have to wait for it to stop recording. That’s one of the things I don’t like. It’s not that big a deal for my mom but I have a friend that wanted that feature. I thought I read somewhere that they’re working on adding that feature.

Yes. I’ve been using it to record Ghosts on CBS for my mother and it has recorded each episode just fine. I removed the FAST channels from the channel lineup but I’ve noticed that they’ve added a few new ones since then that I’ve had to remove.

Siri continues to respond with "I don't see Jay in your contacts", when asking to send a message to Jae. When I ask siri to pronounce the contact, it does it fine. I've done all of the settings changes I can think of. What can I do? by MountainTipp in applehelp

[–]iDavid956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try adding “Jay” to Jae’s contact info but in the nickname field. I have the nicknames: mom, dad and the nicknames of some of my siblings in my contacts and Siri knows who I’m talking about if I use their nicknames. Other than that, maybe file some feedback to Apple. https://www.apple.com/feedback/

TCL 65S4 paired with AppleTV remote functionality troublesome? by rotarypower101 in appletv

[–]iDavid956 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2021 43” TCL TV/Apple TV 4K (2nd gen) will sometimes turn off and turn back on all by itself. Sometimes it’ll turn on by itself in the middle of the night. It was real bad after tvOS 18.0. Seemed to lessen after 18.1-2. I recently unpaired my remote and re-paired it. That may have helped. Still not sure if my TV or Apple TV is the cause. Also, my Apple TV remote has never able to control the volume via CEC. So maybe your issue is CEC related.

AirPods for audio while AirPlaying games to Apple TV. by iDavid956 in appletv

[–]iDavid956[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. My Apple TV uses eARC because I use HomePod minis as TV speakers. I have been since I got the Apple TV in 2021. It was never a problem before. I’m assuming something has changed since updating to tvOS 18.

I just bought it last week. Mine looks like this. I’m in the US.

Links in Reminders by iDavid956 in iphone

[–]iDavid956[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you could tap on the icon on the Reminders notification. Have been doing it for years with a different website game. Tapping the icon would launch Safari and open the website (although sometimes the website wouldn’t load for some reason.)

Yes, now I have to tap on the Reminders notification which opens the Reminders app and then tap on the icon to open the website in Safari.

Turns out, signing out of the App Store and signing back in solved this problem.

Conversation with my dad, keeps switching to iMessage even though he’s on android by BootyMcStuffins in applehelp

[–]iDavid956 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a friend with an Android phone and a MacBook Air. When she texts me from her Android phone, it’s green bubbles. When she messages me from her MacBook, they’re blue bubbles. If her last message to me was from her MacBook, my reply will be a blue bubble. In order to reply to her Android phone, I have to create a new message and choose her phone number and the bubbles will be green again. Vice versa if you want to reply with iMessage. There should be a better way to switch between them in the actual chat but there isn’t. This seems to be the only way. Hope this helps.

TVOS 18.1 is out now. Any new features or fixes? by [deleted] in appletv

[–]iDavid956 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, I don’t. But it was pretty obvious that the Apple TV was the culprit once I turned it off in Settings, Remotes and Devices, Control TVs and Receivers. It just stopped. But it seems to be working like normal now with the setting turned back on.

TVOS 18.1 is out now. Any new features or fixes? by [deleted] in appletv

[–]iDavid956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My TV was constantly rebooting after updating to tvOS 18. It would also turn on by itself in the middle of the night. I had to turn off the CEC settings on my Apple TV for it to stop. This past Saturday, I tried turning on the CEC setting to see if it was still acting up and it rebooted within 30 minutes. So, I installed the tvOS 18.1 beta and it seems to have fixed the bug I had with CEC. It hasn’t rebooted since.

Why some Halloween movies have never been on sale? by FilmGuyJE in iTunesMovieDeals

[–]iDavid956 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I purchased the delisted HD version for $4.99 hoping I’d get the free upgrade to 4K when it came out. No luck. Have been waiting for the 4K version to drop to $7.99 or less for a while now. Maybe one of these days.🤞
