12 Tips and Tricks for mastering the new Apple TV – AppleTV 4 Jailbreak (appletv4jailbreak.com)
The Holiday Season is just over and many of us have come into some pretty great gifts during this time. The 4th Generation Apple TV is a great gift to have come across. The newest version offers a 32 or 64 GB hard drive that can be filled with popular apps like HBO GO, Netflix, Hulu and so on. And this time around, owners can download a bunch of apps like the addictive Crossy Road from the App Store. But what else can you do with your brand new device? Take a look at our nice list of Apple TV tips and tricks.
12 Advanced tips for your Apple TV 4
1. Siri’s advanced features
The highlight of the new Apple TV is the Siri voice comprehension feature built into the new Siri Remote. Siri can search for movies, open apps and even check the weather all by using only the sound of your voice. This feature is what truly sets the new Apple TV apart from its competition and past iterations, simplifying the most frustrating part of the streaming TV box ecosystem: navigation. Looking for an action movie? Instead of scrolling to the categories option, you can simply ask Siri to show you some action movies.
Searching is a breeze (well, most of the time) and downloading apps is easy, but some of her advanced commands are even more impressive. When watching a movie, you can ask “what did he/she just say?” and Siri will rewind a movie or show 15 seconds and temporarily turn on closed captions. You can also enable closed-captions, fast forwards, rewind, and much more just by speaking.

While voice commands may have their drawbacks, particularly when identifying unique spellings or similar sounding words, using Siri is still, probably the fastest way to navigate to most things in the Apple TV interface. Experiment and see what works, you’ll be pleasantly surprised as to what she can accomplish.
2. Move apps around the Home Screen
When you begin downloading and adding apps to your Apple TV home screen, you can later rearrange the order in which these apps are laid out. Again, this action will be very similar to what you would do on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod. All you need to do is tap and hold the Siri Remote touchpad on the app that you would like to move. This will place it into “wiggle mode”. Once in wiggle mode, you can move the app wherever you need.
