Is apple tv compatible with a Sony Bravia kdl48w650d tv? Will.i be able to download apple tv app on this type of tv? Of so how do I go about doing so I do not see a way to do so? Also do I need to have an I phone in order to use apple tv ? I'm trying to find the most cost effective way to get television and movie channels without needing a typical tv chanel cable provider like verizon or spectrum. May insight and direction is greatly appreciated thank you
1/ The Apple TV set-top box is compatible with any 16:9 HD TV with HDMI.
2a/ The Apple TV app is not yet available on (select) Sony smart TVs.
2b/ You will probably not be able to download the Apple TV app on a 2016 TV. The expectation is, that it will be available on newer TVs.
3/ You do not need to have an iPhone to use the Apple TV app, but an iPhone can be used with it to make some steps easier.
4/ If you want to watch live TV from the major TV networks, then the Apple TV app will not provide that service for you. The Apple TV set-top box can provide those services through third party apps, but you will still need to subscribe with a streaming TV provider, e.g. Hulu Live, YouTube TV, Sling TV, AT&T TV Now, Fubo TV, Philo (for the US).
Very clear helpful answer, but I have another question do I need to pay some type of monthly membership to use this apple tv product? Or do I just buy box,connect it to tv whether through hdmi or download and then at that point use apple tv ? Hope.what im asking makes sense and is clear
There are no periodical fees for the box or the app itself, but the services that you access through them may require fees. And that depends entirely on what you (want to) watch. It is not a portal to free content.
