Sure, I could certainly buy a bunch of gadgets and other stuff to convert data around in proprietary formats with a menagerie of adapters, but I want a simple solution. As far as I can tell, there is really nothing out there that isn't expensive and/or gigantic.

Would one of those home theaters in a box fit the bill? They are typically much smaller than a standard receiver.

I was looking for a DAC/amp combo with speaker terminals a while ago too and I had trouble finding anything decent. I think you're going to be stuck settling for a home theater receiver even though they are giant. Check local classifieds, you can probably find somebody unloading their old basic HDMI receiver because they wanted to upgrade to 3D or something.

Is there a way to get access to all of the most current apps (most notably the new WWE app) without updating the Apple TV 2? I'm currently on 5.0.1 and it's been really stable for me for a long time, so I was hoping for some kind of workaround.

Airplay has definitely worked on the WWE App in the past. Last year I watched an entire PPV that way. I'd be surprised if that changed for the Network, since it's technically the same app.

Is there any other real reason to not update other than that you don't really want to?

Not by any means I was able to find - unless you can get your hands on a copy of the early v5 jailbreakable firmware and manage to get it installed / signed, you'll only get Netflix back by losing the jailbreak.

If you've been waiting to pick one (or another one) up, Apple is offering a $25 iTunes gift card with purchase for the next week. However, that probably means something new's on its way. Or not. It's Apple so who knows.

Has anyone experienced HBO GO just sitting at the "Accessing HBO GO" screen with the loading wheel then saying something like "you must reside within the 50 states of the US"? It's only doing this on my Apple TV and not on my iPhone which is on the same network. I don't have any sort of unblock.us service or anything. Edit: ok I was wrong. It doesn't work on my iPhone, at least not on the same network. It does, however, work on my iPhone with wifi turned off. However, I get a different error message on my iPhone with wifi turned on. It says that HBO GO requires an internet connection. But only if I try to play a video, it let's me browse and everything. Mahoning fucked around with this message at 05:01 on Mar 6, 2014 |

If you've got the setup, yeah. If your don't otherwise exist in the xbmc ecosystem then probably not. It really depends on where you get your content.

The only supported content provider that doesn't seem to work is ABC/Disney. I'm not sure if that is comcast, everyone seems to be blaming everyone else when I call support lines.

Anyone interested in buying an ATV2? I have two I wouldn't mind upgrading to ATV3s since I don't have either of them jail broken. What are they worth these days?

I'm probably moving to a Roku3, I'm tired of wrestling with plexconnect, and since the Roku's remote uses RF I can tuck the box up behind my wall-mounted TV and ditch the shelf under it. It'll do everything the ATV can except access the iTunes store, which is currently only used by my wife to watch Here Comes Honey Boo-boo so I think we'll survive.

6.1 firmware is out. It makes it much easier to rearrange and even hide channels that you don't care about. I believe you had to resort to Parental Controls to hide channels in the past.

The OS probably contains WebKit even if no apps use it, and they would roll in any security fixes because that's always a good thing. Where's the changelog?

My 6.1 update has been stuck on "preparing update" with no progress bar movement for fifteen minutes now. Should I keep waiting or try restarting it? (By the time I get an answer in this thread I will have given up and restarted, so really this is a silly question.) Edit: I pulled the power cord and it rebooted just fine.

Removing all those channels I will never use is great, but watching anything from my iTunes library seems reeeeaaally flaky now. Without fail it kicks me out to the main menu every 20 minutes.

Are Apple TV remotes interchangeable or is each one tied to a specific device? I recently bought an ATV3 for my dad and kept his old ATV2 for myself, but I'm starting to think that I might have grabbed the wrong remote because the one I have at home won't work. I can see the ATV white light blink when I press a button, but nothing happens. I can still use my iPhone as a remote, so it's not a big deal. I haven't tried reinstalling the ATV's software yet, since I'd rather not lose my jailbreak, so I'm hoping someone else has an answer. Edit: obviously I'll try swapping back the remotes the next time I'm at my dad's house, but I'm hoping for a more immediate solution.

There are simple commands for un-pairing and re-pairing a remote. I think it's hold Left+Select for the former and hold Right+Select for the latter.

Anecdotally, I've had three of those remotes, one I bought for my Mac when I was using it for an HTPC, and one each with AppleTV I've bought and they've all worked interchangeably.

The remote has no smarts itself, it just emits infrared signals tagged with a unique ID. So you can bind a device to only allow a single remote to use it but you can't bind a remote to not control other devices.

Don't forget you can also connect just about ANY remote to the Apple TV by having the Apple TV learn the buttons (if you have a universal remote that supports Apple devices that's even easier of course). I see too many people stick with that tiny, easy-to-lose second remote when they could just be using their normal TV/cable box remote.

There's also Remote.ipa, but that's obviously a bit of a pain to use compared to a remote. Thankfully, my receiver's supports it, so it was a simple procedure to get it working.
