Iv just bought an Apple TV box but I can't set up home sharing as I don't have a home computer. Is there any other way to do it?

Hello Sophie,


Congratulations on your new Apple TV! Also, thank you for the question. It sounds like you are trying to play videos or music from your iOS device. Instead of using Home Sharing for this, you would use AirPlay.


Use the steps in the following article to AirPlay music, photos, and video wirelessly to your Apple TV:

If you would like the entire screen of your iOS device to appear on your television, you can using AirPlay Mirroring. Use the steps in this article:
