Apple TV

Hi,


I am thinking about getting the Apple TV device for an extended desktop and watching content purchased on the TV app but my tv doesn't have inbuilt wifi or bluetooth. It does however have HDMI. Please could someone tell me if this should work?


Thanks

Ah, that's great news thanks :))


Just a few more questions if that's ok:

  • The main use is airplay 2 with MacBook as extended desktop. Do the computers usually get very hot and loud (fan) with this if it's on a desk?
  • I got phone in November so have 1 year Apple TV+ offer, can I get offer again with Apple TV?
  • Does 4k TV box work still with HD TV screen and with HD Content or does it resize weirdly
  • Is it usually laggy when on a good wifi network (approx 53 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload) using airplay
  • Can you back it up to iCloud - app configurations etc
  • Finally, can we occasionally move it between tv's so from the lounge to the study in the holidays etc.


Thank you very much :)
