Apple TV is about 1000% better when you ditch the supplied remote and instead pair a normal querty-style Bluetooth keyboard. Nearly everything in the UI works with the combo of arrow keys + return key, and you can actually type text for searching instead of stabbing around with the crappy remote, or trying to make Siri work.
Probably not so true for tvOS games, but for the usual use case of Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube, settings, etc., a keyboard works great.
- js2 8y agoSiri actually works pretty well for me on tvOS, unlike iOS where I find it worse than useless. “Siri, play the song X in Spotify.” “I’m sorry, I can’t do that right now.”
- tssva 8y agoI don't think this was meant to be but this is a more damning indictment of the Apple TV than my original post. If your TV viewing solution requires connecting a bluetooth keyboard to be functional than you are doing something wrong.
