Feb 13, 2016 11:31 AM in response to welshy6by Protodd,I havent seen any releases for iCal on ATV4... Out of curiosity, what would you use the iCal app on the ATV for? Without a keyboard on the ATV you would need to pull out your phone/laptop/iPad to edit/enter new entries anyway....

Feb 13, 2016 11:36 AM in response to Protoddby welshy6,Of course, I am aware it;s dependent on 3rd parties but Apple have a lot of sway with the developers and for the kings of marketing, you'd have thought developers would have been fighting to get on a new apple platform.
To be honest, just for viewing. I am just desperate to find additional uses for the thing! could add entries using siri surely?
What apps do you find useful on the device? Maybe I am missing some gems in there somewhere

Feb 13, 2016 11:45 AM in response to welshy6by Protodd,I stream movies from Netflix, HBO, etc, homeshare my personal media - audio, movies, photos etc, mirror my iPad/MacBook. I have played a few of the games but not a big gamer. I also use my parents login for access to network apps like NBC, USA, FX etc. - I don't have a cable subscription...
I don't believe that Siri would enter text - she is limited in her ability - Use your Siri Remote or Apple TV Remote with Apple TV (4th generation) - Apple Support
or Use Siri on your Apple TV (4th generation) - Apple Support

Feb 13, 2016 11:51 AM in response to Protoddby welshy6,I read that in an upcoming update we'd be able to search store with Siri, so I thought that must involve some text elements.
I'm not a gamer too. For us UK users not much TV use other than the store for series' and movies. Plex is key usage for me and do watch NHL all the time.
Surely you can't disagree that it has not taken off though? Still plenty of time of course but so far, not so good (in my opinion)

Feb 13, 2016 12:00 PM in response to welshy6by Protodd,personally I do see it as a big improvement from the ATV 2/3. But I am sure that there are people that would agree with you as well. As rumors are not allowed in the Apple user community I couldn't speak to searching the store with Siri as it's not available today...
I also still use my older ATVs as part of the HomeKit access for my cameras, garage, door locks, lights etc...
