even grid keyboard layout is rubbish, while you cant move cursor continuously to the right from the end to first letter, you still have to go back and forth

Seriously, you don’t need to have your own face in the video, we’re watching it to watch the Apple TV and want to see that, fair play, narrate, but the big circle with your face in it is not necessary, it’s just in the way

00:00 Intro – Make Apple TV Faster & Easier (tvOS 26)
Not a shred of useful information in your video. Speak at a constant volume also. Otherwise it would’ve been better and not a waste of my time.

Thank you , good to know

The light sensitivity was the best one for me. I like the YT videos playing in the background with jazz or relaxing music that have scenery. They always are so bright with the blue light. This is great without having to jack around with the TV setting.
@paulmarshall7430Thanks! I consider myself an Apple Semi-Pro, but missed fixing my “buggy” volume control and grid keyboard layout option. This video made my life much easier. Many thanks! I even subscribed!
@joenorman7422Can you tell me What is the name of the app for the one with "Pink Mic and stars"
@AbdulBaseer1604Why do you keep saying “buttons” like that? It’s one word said fluidly. If you’re not a native English speaker… fYI. You keep saying BUT-tons. 🫤
@_mattheweliOh my gosh - the volume control always goes out on my Apple remotes and as soon as you talked about the long press remote reboot, I did it and it fixed my volume! Thank you 😅
@zms8092Hey buddy, thank you so much. You just fix my remote. The volume stopped working and I reset it and now it’s working thanks a lot.
@laserantWhat app is that with the microphone?
@friscosgreatest415He’s 100% correct I found this super helpful video because of someone’s comment so liking comments and sharing helps I see
@DaDSCcrewThank you for letting us know about the ‘find’ remote feature. Never knew it existed. Oh & also on changing the keyboard too ☺️
@EddieG-r9wVery nice. I haven’t even finished watching yet, and it’s already been super helpful. The tips on the home screen, volume, typing, and navigation are clear and useful. Fixing the volume issue really made my day since it had tormented me for months. Thanks! I’m going to finish watching now. LOL
@JamesWilliams-j8pThis awesome! Can you please remind us the shortcut for soft reset the whole Apple TV? There was a hold < and home buttons, but I think they removed it? Thank you!
@79NerminaHere is my thing I have two Apple TVs, one of my living room and one in my bedroom for some reason the one in my living room as soon as I turn it on, it automatically starts playing an Apple TV+ show and I cannot figure out how to stop it from doing that the one in my bedroom does not do that at all
@blackhearted1975Hi. Very informative Thank you. But after I added remote to my control panel on my iPhone, now on my TV, the squares of videos in YouTube or Tubi, etc, are huge. I only see 3 items at a time now. Any idea why? Thx
@t.k.TimeIsShortThank you for mostly tips that only need the Apple TV remote. This is the ONLY Apple device I own.
@Becvar80This why I never liked apple stuff. But you the real MVP for showing all this stuff!! 😂
@SimpleSimonTheAssManGreat video! Thanks for the tips! Now teach me how to use the 10 second forward/backward that was so much easier on the previous remote 😩 I know this one is capable of it but I'm not super capable of excuting it!
@WeAreGoingSomewhereResetting my remote with the two button press fixed the volume controls on my remote. It wasn’t able to change the TV volume for months. The keyboard change is helpful too I prefer the full size keyboard. Great video. Thanks man!
@CS-cg6hxHow did you get the battery level of the remote to show on the tv screen top right side?
@prjoe82My volume control used to work but no more? What to check?
@gonzolandparadiseWhat settings do I use to display the remote battery life in the status bar? Or does it only show if my remote is low on battery?
@Devv312When the screensaver is on, if I press down on the wheel, it shows the time. I like that!
@realkoko-locoWhy did you say at 1:30? I played on 1/2 speed and still can’t understand. It’s sounds like you said, “if you long mode”, you can rearrange …WHAT?
@realkoko-locoThank you so much!!! My volume button hasn’t been working for at least 2 months. I chat GPT it and asked my “has to have the latest of everything technology gadgets and neither of us could get it! Even the Apple Store said I was doing everything they would recommend, without having to go back to factory reset the thing and who wants to redownload and sign in to the apps? So here I am like in the 90’s with 2 remotes and drove me nuts. Also same with the search bar, hated that thing!
@kolrox73My real question is how on earth do you only have 5 apps per row on your home screen??
A long time ago it was updated to display 6 apps per row, and I don’t see any options to change it in the settings.
Please speak carefully and clearly. Behind your slurred, muffled voice is information I’d like to hear!
@GW-ThailandYou don’t have to hold the home button just press the power button once it does the same thing
@Faith_Driv3nI want to display the time somewhere.
@donwinstonReally nice video. I appreciate people who can take some assumed trivial things and teach others some new and unknown features - making it much less trivial and quite interesting. The keyboard feature was unknown to me. For this the video gets 5 stars!
@jeffreydanowitz3083You are amazing! Excellent tips! Thank you!
@AuthorCertifiedGoofDownloaded the app for my VPN provider. I had no idea. Thank you very much!
@Kraffty808thanks for this information! i learned a lot today.
@tylerglennYour tip on ACCESSABILIY is a total game changer!!! The wife does not like the closed captioning on, but is quick to rewind, turn on captioning and replay segments when we don’t understand the dialog. Then pauses, turns off closed captioning, and resumes the movie. Triple clicking will speed this up.
@chipw1964bit of a nitpick. The grid is not a "traditional" keyboard layout. QWERTY keyboard is the traditional layout and I'd love that to be an option alongside the linear or grid layout.
@jonhardwick1I love how my AppleTV only gives me 3-4 secs to type on my device at a time before it closes the keyboard, very excellent Tim Nazi friend Apple
@epiccollisionThe keyboard pops up so quickly on my phone & tablet it’s gone before I can access it. Is there a quick way to bring it back?
