Before I buy the apple tv, I'd like to see exactly what is available at the app store. Is there some way I can sign into it? via iTunes? or Apps? or just on my computer?
You can access the store on a computer, iPad or iPhone
I'm feeling pretty dumb right now - I've searched google for 'apple tv app store' and all I get are various descriptions about what is on the store: all the great games, netflix, etc. What I would like to do is see the actual tv app store as if I were looking at it from apple tv. I'd like to be able to search it to see if particular apps that I have on my iPad (like acorn tv, for example) will be available.
If there is a way to view this on my computer, can you please be specific about how.
thanks
Download iTunes on to your computer. Use it to access the App Store.
Apologies I misread your question. I have only found the Apple TV apps on the Apple TV store so far.
So, you are saying I have to buy an Apple TV first, then I can see the apple tv store, which may or may not offer what I am looking for. Is there truly no way of accessing the store without owning the apple tv?
I do have iTunes. I have not seen any Apple TV apps - the iTunes store has iPhone and iPad apps, it does not seem to be the same thing as the Apple TV store.
Correct. At this time you can only access the Apple TV store from the Apple TV 4. It hasn't even been a week since launch so the store will grow quickly and what is available right now is not indicative of what will be there a month from now or 6 months from now. The ability to browse the Apple TV app store from iTunes for from the web is something that could show up in future.
Thats not the worst of it.
If you want an app not on the Featured Page, basically you need to guess the name of it then search with that thing they refer to as a 'remote' on a letter picker.
It's like they had 2 weeks to make this thing. So weird.
Is there a way to access tv app store without apple tv?
