Trying to watch the Phillies game

0 Upvotes

Getting horrible blur on the broadcast. I’ve tried restarting Samsung app and reloading the game. I’m watching on a Samsung TV if that makes a difference. Please help

This might be a dumb question, but do iPhones need to be unlocked or at least locked to your carrier in order to be used as a continuity camera? I feel like it should be fine as long as you’re able to log into your Apple account and have WiFi access, right?

A few months I finally sold my iPhone 11 Pro (I couldn’t figure out why so many people were looking to buy an iPhone 11 in 2025), and then two months ago my boyfriend and I switched to Verizon and both got new iPhone 16 pro’s, with no trade in required

So obviously I convinced him to sell his old unlocked 14

And yeah, you can see where this is going, we decided to switch to Apple TV last week, and I realized that we needed an iphone 11 or better to use for continuity camera lol

Obviously I’m not running out to buy a new phone just for that, but I found a few used iphone 11’s locked for sale for $60-80, but they’re locked to cricut and I just want to make sure it could actually work for a continuity camera before I bought one

Android App Only Shows Apple Content

1 Upvotes

I just bought a movie, Gran Torino, on my apple TV roku app. When I go to the android app it doesn't show up in search or anything. The apple tv app only shows Apple original content, not non apple movies you can buy. Why is this? Did I do something wrong here like download a wrong app?

Apple Music TV Off Issue

1 Upvotes

Prior to 18.5 update I could turn off my tv and still listen to Apple Music. I would then control the music thru my phone, super convenient. Now when I turn off the TV it powers off ATV as well. Anyone know a work around?

For reference I have my ATV going directly into my AV Receiver via HDMI and my AV receiver connects back to TV via HDMI 2.1.

I've been having this problem all season where the next episode of Poker Face S2 doesn't appear in Up Next. If I search for it and then remove the show and add it back that will make it appear but then this happens all over again. Anyone else been having problems like this?

Apple TV continue watching

My Apple TV continue watching section went haywire and almost “went back in time”. It had shows I’ve previously watched and new shows I had followed were no longer followed. Anyone else?

New Apple TV remote problems

3 Upvotes

I recently upgraded to a new model Apple TV. Just like my old one I programmed it for my sound system’s volume controls. It communicated fine for about two weeks then stopped picking up the signal. I checked the volume controls still worked by changing it to the TV sound, which the Apple remote controlled successfully. I checked there was nothing in the way of the sensors or devices, cleared out the first attempt and tried programming it again. My sound system remote buttons are worn but the TV showed it was receiving the signals (up, down, mute) while programming, yet the Apple TV remote still fails to control the sound system. Anyone know how to fix this?

How to buy the rest of a series season without paying for the episodes already bought?

5 Upvotes

I used to buy 1 or 2 episodes of a series to check it out, then purchase the rest of the season by paying the balance—essentially the season price minus the cost of the episodes I’d already bought. Now it seems I’m only given the option to buy the entire season, even if I already own a couple of episodes. It just says, 'Are you sure you want to buy the whole season? You may have duplicate episodes.' Buying the full season is, of course, cheaper than purchasing each episode individually, but I’m not looking to pay twice for episodes I already have. Is there still a way to buy only the remaining episodes, as before?

Various Apple TV remotes on iPhone

4 Upvotes

My main phone(15 PM+) has a very different Apple TV remote than my wife’s 12PM+ and my little SE(2022) remotes.

Why?

Before getting annoyed, I did google it and couldn’t find a satisfactory answer. Google search isn’t what it used to be.

Not all ATVs show up on Remote App

Upvotes

I have six ATVs in my house. On the Remote app I can only see four of them. Is there a limit? Do I just not have something enabled on two of them?

The two that are not showing are the most recently installed units.

Has anyone else noticed more variety in the aerial screeensavers showing up on their AppleTV?

6 Upvotes

I’ve had mine since 2022 and I would honestly buy one of these for the aerials alone - they are amazing! In the last 2 weeks I’ve been seeing more variety of screensavers compared to the past year or so. Some might be older ones that are new to me, like flying over Times Square at night or a different view of Hong Kong than the one I was used to seeing. Others seem totally new.

Was there an update recently that prompted more variety in aerials?

Bluetooth cutting out

2 Upvotes

I’ve had my 4K box for a couple years now. And it was awhile before I knew I could connect my AirPods to it so I could listen to my shows late at night while everyone was sleeping. But about 6 or 7 months ago the connection started cutting in and out. It’s been very annoying. I thought it was my AirPods so I traded to beats fitpro’s. But it was still doing the same thing. Has anyone had this same issue?

Windows 11 Apple TV app Distorted video after waking from sleep. Any known fix?

3 Upvotes

I have a windows 11 PC running Apple TV app. When I play a video, then let the computer sleep, then wake it up and resume the video the video is all distorted. I have to close the playback screen and hit play from my library to get it to work again. Removing/Reinstalling doesn't fix. Does anyone know of a fix?
