How To Download Apps On Apple Tv 1

That silver-topped, hard-drive bearing, Tiger-running, heat-emanating Apple TV from yesteryear has been replaced by today’s $99 black, 8GB-of-flash-memory, iOS-powered, cool-as-a-cucumber Apple TV (second generation) (). Given the new Apple TV’s lower-price, more responsive performance, and Netflix support, it’s likely that owners of the original Apple TV are unplugging the things by the score and replacing them with the current model. But, when doing so, they’ve surely wondered what to do with the old one. We have some suggestions.

Apple TV is a digital media player and microconsole developed and sold by Apple Inc. The 2nd generation Apple TV was announced on September 1, 2010, and was the first to run on a variant of iOS. With the fourth generation Apple TV and later, users can download apps and games from the tvOS App Store. The Apple TV currently comes with 60 pre-installed apps, and Apple regularly adds new ones, but you can't install your own. That said, you can always add apps to your iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch or Mac and stream them to your Apple TV via AirPlay.

1. Keep using it

Just because you have a new Apple TV doesn’t mean you can’t continue to use the old one. iTunes 10 still supports the old dear and, unlike with the new Apple TV, you needn’t have a computer running iTunes to play the media in your iTunes library. Just sync the content you wish to enjoy to your old Apple TV and then quit iTunes or shut down your computer. The content on the Apple TV’s hard drive will play just as it always has.

Additionally, the original Apple TV lets you use the device with a TV or AV receiver’s Component inputs. If your second TV (the one not plugged into the newest Apple TV) lacks an HDMI port but does have Component inputs, you’re in business.

2. Upgrade it

If you intend to keep the old Apple TV because of its internal storage, you may wish to upgrade that storage, particularly if you have an original Apple TV with its 40GB drive. To do the job you must open the Apple TV, remove its hard drive, clone the contents of the original hard drive to a new hard drive, and then reassemble the Apple TV.

Senior Editor Dan Frakes wrote a step-by-step guide on upgrading you Apple TV’s hard drive that can help you through the process. And If the wealth of Terminal commands within those instructions puts you off, take a look at DynaFlash Tech’s AtvCloner, a free utility that allows you to image the original drive from your Apple TV (including its operating system and partitions) and clone it to a higher capacity internal PATA (parallel ATA) or external eSata drive.

If you’re not a do-it-yourselfer, OWC will upgrade your Apple TV for you. It offers both 250GB and 320GB hard drive upgrades. You can choose ground pickup and delivery or FedEx overnight pickup and delivery. Prices start at $160 for the 250GB hard drive/ground service.

3. Hack it

The original Apple TV focused almost exclusively on your iTunes library and the iTunes Store. And, for many people, that scope was too limited. With the help of a USB memory stick and one of a couple of utilities, your Apple TV can stream not only media from iTunes and the iTunes Store, but also content from a host of Internet-based sources—including Pandora, PBS, BBC, CNN, Onion News Network, NPR, Vimeo, CollegeHumor, TWiT TV, G4, and Shoutcast Radio.

Those utilities are Fire Core’s $50 aTV Flash () and the free atvusb-creator. You install one of these tools on a USB memory stick, unplug the power from your Apple TV, connect the memory stick to the Apple TV’s USB port, and plug in the Apple TV’s power cord. It boots from the memory stick (running a version of Linux), which then patches the Apple TV’s operating system. That patch allows you to install applications and use the XBMC and Boxee home media applications to watch and listen to streaming media. You can additionally stream the media on your Mac to these applications by adding network drives as media sources.

4. Sell it

For some people, the most important feature of the Apple TV isn’t Netflix streaming, video rentals, or small size—it’s the hard drive. The type of person who wants to dump his or her content onto a 40GB or 160GB Apple TV hard drive instead of leaving an iTunes-laden media server running may be happy to pay you for your slightly outdated hunk of technology. In recent eBay auctions, people have successfully unloaded older Apple TVs for $50 to $100.

5. Do something else

And, of course, you needn’t use it as a media device at all. If you’ve moved on to the new Apple TV and have no intention of looking back, you can rip out its hard drive and plunk it into an old PATA enclosure or Mac. Or locate its original packing, tuck it carefully away, and hope that in 20 years it will be a unique enough oddity that you can sell it for loads of e-credits on an eBay of the future.

Great For iOS; Bad on AppleTV

How To Download Apps On Apple Tv 1

The SpectrumTV app works great on my Apple mobile devices (iPhone and iPad). Unfortunately, it is very buggy on AppleTV 4K. Why it works on iOS and not TvOS is a mystery. Sometimes there is audio and no picture when watching live TV; other times no picture or sound at all. Even when there is picture and sound, the picture breaks up. Many times there is still running audio while the picture is frozen. There are problems with buffering and freeze-ups, also. None of these issues occur while using the app on my iPhone or iPad Pro; only AppleTV. I’ve confirmed that the problem is not with my internet connection, speed, or my wireless network (both 2.4GHz and 5GHz). Also, other apps stream just fine. The fault is definitely the app only on AppleTV. I’ve even deleted and reinstalled the app on AppleTV several times with no luck. Also, my AppleTV is fully up to date. The app is totally disfunctional on AppleTV. I hope the developer looks into this and gets another update going to correct this. I cannot be the only one having this issue; and I’ve done all troubleshooting possible. As I say, the SpectrumTV app works great on iOS, just not on TvOS.
I have not encountered any issues with on-demand viewing using the SpectrumTV app on AppleTV. All the issues I am encountering seem to be concerning live TV viewing only.

Apple TV live streaming is horrible!

The app worked quite well when it was released at the beginning of the year. Live streaming worked well. Minor bugs have been quashed and the UI has been refined for the better. Unfortunately, it seems that live streaming has since gone downhill. The worst offenders are the movie channels like HBO and Showtime. They play fine for a few minutes and either the image gets pixelated, freezes with audio or it jumps back to where you started watching. Occasionally, it tunes into a black screen with audio. This does not happen when watching On Demand content. The only other bug is that when I watch On Demand content, the episode I watched will appear in the TV app even though I’ve already seen it. I then have to manually mark it as watched to remove it.
Also, the problem is not my device or internet speed because the iPhone app streams live video without any of these problems. I have the the 4th Gen Apple TV and I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app as well as restarting my Apple TV to no avail. Spectrum doesn’t seem to have a way to give the app developers feedback so I’m hoping giving them a 1-star review will get their attention and they will fix this problem because in its current condition, the app is almost useless for live streaming.

Spectrum Lies

Trying to find a television service we could use when camping and traveling. Spectrum told us we could login to our spectrum account anywhere and watch all our shows, Through cell phone data or other Wi-Fi networks. This was a big lie. Half the channels say you have to be logged into your HOME spectrum Internet in order to access the channels we are paying for. On other Internet providers you have to download the individual apps like an app for Fox, and app for the Food Network etc. and some of the channels that we are paying to watch at home like the golf channel doesn’t have an app. So we’re paying for a lot of channels that we can’t watch unless we’re at home. And for CBS now they have CBS total access App, which is an additional charge even though we’re paying for CBS through spectrum! With DISH you’re able to Log into your DISH account through the dish anywhere app and watch not only live TV but every channel you pay for. And the hopper is an awesome piece of recording equipment. However all these providers are getting too expensive and we too are hoping to cut the cord and go a different route. There needs to be more Internet providers available, spectrum is becoming a huge monster.
