Connect Apple TV to tuner without HDMI

There are millions of tuners, receivers and amplifiers without HDMI inputs. Why did Apple remove audio output of all sorts? No headphone jack. No Optical audio jack.


Are people expected to turn on their televisions every time they want to listen to something? Wearing out their screens, when all they want to do is listen to music? Surely there is a better option, right?

FYI, we’re all fellow users here.


While I doubt that you’d find much disagreement; it would all be irrelevant.


They simply went way of Parallel Ports, Serial Ports, and USB-A — part of a legitimate “business decision” by those at Apple who make such decisions.


Submit feedback to Apple; it CAN perhaps make a difference.


After all MagSafe power connectors DID return to MacBooks. 😉
