On mobile, so not a thorough search, but I see nothing specifying aTV4 and it claims to be keyboard input...

Well it says AppleTV (not 4 specifically) but I'm willing to give it a try.

Do Bluetooth keyboards have equivalents to the remote gestures? Like left arrow key = swipe left, etc.

Bluetooth keyboards aren't supported by the aTV 4. That's my point.

Do not get 1Keyboard if you have AppleTV 4. It will not work.

I bought it some time ago to use with previous generation Apple TVs (and it works great with those). But I literally tested it a couple minutes ago, and the ATV4 will not even see it to pair with (you're basically pairing your computer to the ATV via Bluetooth)

Oh lame. I thought an ATV4 update with bluetooth keyboard support was pending :(

I've owned every single iPhone model and have yet to break a screen. I've dropped the AppleTV remote once and it completely shattered. Like it's almost impressive how much damage a 2 foot drop did to the drat thing (to be fair, it was onto concrete). Still works, and I'm not shelling out another $80 to replace it, but drat. I'm not even really that upset about it, tbh.

Supposedly, but after the trackpad disappearing from iOS 9 on iphone 6+ in the transition from beta to GM, I wouldn't hang a purchase on the possibility of future compatibility, especially if they only end up allowing them for text entry and/or games or botch keyboard support in any other way.

Oh no
29-30 inches is standard table and desk height, it's not surprising at all that many drops happen from that height. The joke was a swing and a miss.

A sunroom that used to be a concrete patio with unfinished floors, if you must know. I haven't laid tile yet, but I assume the results would have been similar.

Edit: it could have just as easily been my unfinished basement, where my sunroom setup used to be. Or even possibly my garage where my OG Apple TV is set up, though the drop from my work bench would be about 3 1/2 feet or so. Pretty luxurious, eh?

Heh, Apple is fixing the bugs I reported on Apple TV day 1. So that's good. But they want me to install the beta to test them??? I guess they think only devs use radar.

I don't even think I can install the beta.

Have an amplifier/receiver that takes HDMI input and decodes the audio stream and sends the video via HDMI out?

Either that or HDMI to TV, audio out from TV.

Anyone know how to jump to an inning in the MLB app on a 4? I know it used to work on the 3, but on my 4 I only get fast-forward or 10sec skip, or the highlights when I swipe down.

I've got a beef with how some apps handle the ATV4 falling asleep, or maybe waking from it.

If I'm playing an episode of anything in CraveTV and instead of exiting back to the menu I just hold the TV button to put the ATV to sleep, when I wake up and menu out and try to play a different episode I get the generic "this poo poo isn't available in your area" error that every app seems to love popping up every now and then. Same seems to happen with Netflix. I don't know how the apps work behind the scenes. Maybe some some of timebombed cookie or whatever the iOS equivalent is, but it's really annoying. The only way to fix it seems to be to force quit the apps in question and relaunch them. Not the end of the world but c'mon.

Was it the game or the grip of drugs he was undoubtedly on while playing it?

Does the touch remote actually have wiimote-style tracking, or did I just remember wrong? That's the part I think would be good for Rez. Using the touchpad for Rez would legitimately make me bleed out my eyes, I think. Too small of a surface. Rez HD is the only reason I still have an Xbox360 in storage. I just pull it out and hook it up whenever I want to play :unsmith:

It has an accelerometer and gyro, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't keep track of it's position relative to the ATV.

This is why Every Extend would work well. Don't you just need a single button for that game? And drugs?
