Think the Firestick has an Apple TV app.

I think Td1 must have have got the free trial from buying an Apple device - I don’t think anyone else offers the trial - and an adapter would be cheaper than a Firestick.

That's right. Can anyone recommend a good adapter please?

I have a year’s free AppleTV+ offer which will expire soon if not taken up. I’ve a Panasonic tv which I can mirror to, but only with an Android device. Is there a (cheap) way to access this (e.g. without buying a box)? The TV has an apps market but appletv+ isn’t on it

The Apple TV+ app got added to PlayStation 4/5 and Xbox One back in November too, if that helps

Sorry I never thought of suggesting what one to get.

Is your device an iPhone/iPad or a MacBook?

Apple’s own adapters are quite pricey - around €50.

There are cheaper third party ones depending on your device.

Why are you guys suggesting td1 buy more devices ?

Is there an option to stop the TV app from automatically playing the next episode of a show?

I have tried Google and the Apple support pages but all I get is how to disable previews in the Top Shelf.

I tried a call with Apple Support but the agent said she had the solution I lost all my signal bars.

He may have one of these devices already and thus saving the need to even buy an adapter.

That makes sense.

You can find cheaper options. Search for “lightening HDMI adaptor for iPhone” or iPad on Amazon.

I assume they are lightning connectors on your devices.

You could try Google and see anyone in Ireland sells them or if you are able go to a CompuB store.

I don’t think there is an option. At least not that I found using the app installed on an LG TV.

What you can do is press the back button once the row of shows with the little circle countdown pops up. This stops the auto play but it is manual, and you need to do it at the end of every show. I’m guessing your question was to have an option to disable it automatically for all episodes.

I know how to stop it manually as you described but I am certain that an older tvOS had the option to disable this kind of autoplay completely.

Anybody else having a problem with Disney+ shows on the TV app?

Every now and again the episode I just watched stays in the Up Next and the progress bar shows the episode as partially watched even though I finished it and just let the credits run. So it isn’t putting the next episode in the queue.

This doesn’t happen with every episode - just occasionally.

The only way to fix it is to manually mark the episode as Watched.

Has there been any details released on the structure Foundation will take?

They seem to have cast character from all over the series.

Are they going to start with the prequels or show those in flashbacks?

FourFourRED · 30-06-2021 5:26pm

Today is the end of the extended year free trial for a large amount of people. If you don’t plan on paying for it cancel your subscription today before it renews for €4.99 tomorrow.

Does Apple own the Apple Original series and movies?

See, For All Mankind and Central Park have Sony and Fox involvement and I was curious becasue I read a post a while back saying that Netflix doesn’t own any of their original content, they just have distribution deal for them.

Afaik Apple is much like Amazon, Netflix etc. They are distributors who often help finance in order to get exclusive rights, which obviously gives them creative power over the production. Other times they buy the rights after production has completed. Either way they own the distribution rights, though this can be complex and may only be for certain amount of time or in a certain territory.

In film and tv production, for legal and financial reasons, there's generally always a separate production company. Some are separate in name only while others are independent.

I started Tehran last night.

I think it will be a good series.

Apple is different than the likes of Netflix and Amazon in that they only produce original content, ie: they don’t licence content from anywhere else, so everything on Apple TV+ should stay there indefinitely, although they do pick stuff up - particularly movies such as Wolfwalkers and Greyhound - in bidding wars with other streaming services. In that sense they could be seen as a distributor, although they’re just distributing content on their own streaming service. All TV shows are made by production companies like Sony or Warner’s, having been commissioned by Apple/Netflix/etc in the first place. Skydance, for example, makers of Altered Carbon for Netflix, made Foundation (mostly in Limerick) for Apple. But Apple also has its own production company AFAIK, which will be producing original content starting later this year.

Finished watching season two of Trying this week. Recommend giving it a watch, a feel good silly type of comedy. Definitely one of the more enjoyable shows for me so far.

In general I’ve enjoyed a lot of the Apple originals. For me, it’s something I’ll keep around after the free trial is up.

mel123 · 26-07-2021 1:16pm

Sorry now i know its probably been asked her before but i cant find the answer and google is telling me mixed reports. I want to cast my phone to my tv (old lg model and the app is not on it). Rather than paying over price for an apple tv, can i use the chromecast to watch apple tv? Dont want to buy another gadget if it wont work.

Looks like you need the Google Chromecast with GoogleTV which looks like to be the latest version. Does anyone in the house have a games console, PS4/5 and Xbox One/One S/Series S/Series X all have AppleTV+ apps

26-07-2021 1:59pm

I am out of free trial but happy enough to pay €5 for Ted Lasso and Schmigadoon, and then wait on Foundation. Thats how they trap ya.

dubmick · 27-07-2021 8:21pm

Might have been mentioned before but there is a six month free trial available for new or returning customers on the Playstation 5

kheb · 20-08-2021 12:39pm

Ted Lasso would be worth the money if I didn't have the free trial.

Installing an Apple TV box at home - I've the connections set up, and the remote paired, but now it's saying "the Apple TV activation server is currently unavailable", how do I troubleshoot this?

You got it connected to your network? If you have an iPhone on a recent iOS, tap it on the top of the ATV & it'll ask you if you want to load/share your settings, which will automate the process.

* also possible that either your BB is down or far less likely that the server is down

An Ciarraioch · 23-11-2021 9:20pm

Somehow managed to connect it to my home WiFi eventually, so up and running now.

In the UK, is Prime Video integrated into Apple’s TV app like Disney+ ?

I know it is in a few countries like the US.

Amazon Prime video is just an app, similar to Disney, Netflix etc. It runs perfectly well on Apple TV 4k+ in Ireland. You will of course need a subscription to use it. If you got your Apple TV from Eir, they give you a free subscription to Amazon Prime Video. If you already have Amazon Prime for free parcel deliveries, Amazon also bundles in free Amazon Prime Video. The Apple TV platform is quite flexible - if you have Eir you can use the eir TV app to get all the Broadcast channels using IPTV (RTE, BBC etc). There are also apps from most TV stations for their catch-up services - RTE Player, Channel 4 Player etc.

I know it isn’t integrated here.

I was asking about whether it was in the UK as that would signify whether it was going to happen here.

Disney+ was integrated at launch in the U.K. but not here. It was oversight by Disney and the fixed after a few months after getting feedback from Irish subscribers

Discovery+ app is now supporting the Apple TV app in Ireland. Apple’s website still doesn’t list Ireland as a country with apps that support TV app integration. Currently the only apps I have come across that support the TV app here are: Disney+ Discovery+ and Funimation

askpt · 06-02-2022 6:09pm

Got the discovery+ notification yesterday! Waiting now for Prime Video to enable integration as well. I believe Netflix will never enable it

Getting 'video unavailable' today, no matter which show I try and open, Servant, Severance, etc. Tried quitting the app (LG TV) and going back to it.

its also rumoured they’re going to announce NFL, NHL & NBA deals before the end of the year.

I’d expect a separate “Apple Sports” app to be announced.

ElisaAtWar · 21-12-2022 7:37pm

Seems this thread is more technology based than suggesting a worthwhile tv series. Other than Snow Dogs I can't find anything of interest. Am I correct?

fjon · 21-12-2022 7:47pm

Snow Dogs? There are a good few series worth watching on Apple TV+ - Ted Lasso, For All Mankind, Severance, Bad Sisters, Slow Horses, Black Bird, Mythic Quest

No free Apple TV offer. Have they
