Apple could be about to refresh its Apple TV set-top box line-up, according to new rumours on Monday.

A report from The Verifier (via 9to5Mac) outlines a potential Apple TV 6 model, as well as some key tvOS 14 updates in the coming weeks and months.

As for the box itself, it appears the key improvement might be boosting the storage options. Currently, Apple offers 32GB and 64GB drives, but that may expand to 64GB and 128GB if Apple adds a new model.

The thinking behind this decision is to ensure Apple Arcade subscribers have enough room to download all of those App Store games to their set-top boxes, without having to constantly make room.

In changes that would probably be made available for owners of current-generation Apple TV devices, Apple is planning on bringing its Screen Time app to the tvOS platform, according to today’s reports.

That would be handy for those attempting to spend less time sat in front of the television set. It would also be handy for parents looking to keep tabs on just how much content their children are watching on a week-by-week basis.

Speaking of the wee ones, there’s also going to be a new Kids mode for tvOS, the report says. That, like in iOS, would enable parents to have more granular control over what kids can access via the Apple TV set-top box.

As for when Apple would launch the new models, that remains unclear. It’d likely be something Apple rolled out quietly, as it did with the new MacBook Air, iPad Pro and Mac mini models last week.

Any major changes to tvOS would likely be announced at whatever form WWDC takes this summer and rolled out in the autumn, if Apple is able to keep to its traditional reveal and release schedule for new software updates.

AppleTV 4 Jailbreak (appletv4jailbreak.com)

The recent talks and rumors have started to spread regarding what the next Apple TV might have as far as new features, specifications, and when it might be released.

The latest rumor regarding the upcoming six generation Apple TV model has to do with the possible date release, new features, and specifications. Rumor has it some of the new features that might be included are: a gaming machine, a combined digital media player with Apple’s set-top box, and a platform for apps with the ability to stream content from iOS devices as well as from Mac computers to a TV.

Talk has it Apple could release the six generation in the September event of 2018, this may happen if minor changes are incurred,  other rumors are speculating Apple may debut the newer model much later in 2019 if more major features are to be added, such as AirPod Siri support, it seems it is possible to use Bluetooth headphones with the Apple TV. Face recognition could also be a future possibility on the Apple TV, another rumor states the Apple TV could have its own game controller.

As far as rumors on the specs, talk has it the Apple TV could add options of 128GB and 256GB models, this would come in handy for streaming and storing content in iCloud. The price should be expected to be similar to the fifth generation Apple TV  if minor changes occur, but if Apple makes some major changes on the Apple TV, expect to see an adjustment in cost.

AppleTV 4 Jailbreak (appletv4jailbreak.com)

Quick-tip for you AppleTV2 users out there, who likes to jailbreak using Seas0nPass.

The instructions for Seas0nPass to enter DFU mode is

Step 4: When prompted, connect your Apple TV to your Mac/PC using a micro-USB cable (leave power cable disconnected).

Once the light on the front of the Apple TV begins to flash rapidly, point the remote at the Apple TV and hold both the MENU and PLAY/PAUSE buttons for 7 seven seconds.

However, this never worked for me. Not the first time, and not the second time either (months later, when I was updating to AppleTV software version 5.2). The Seas0nPass jailbreak software tool just kept saying “Waiting for device to enter DFU mode…”.

Here’s how I fixed it, replace step 4 above with this:

Step 4: When prompted, connect your Apple TV to your Mac/PC using a micro-USB cable first (and then connect power cable also). Give it a few seconds, then hold the MENU and PLAY/PAUSE buttons on the silver remove (white remote doesn’t work) for about 7 seconds, until the LED starts flashing rapidly. Now the Seas0nPass jailbreak tool will find the AppleTV in DFU mode and continue the process.

Some also reports that it starts working if you try a different USB cable, and still follow the original instructions.

Afterwards, Seas0nPass will run a script to have iTunes update the jailbroken firmware. It will run for a while and eventually my iTunes said that it couldn’t connect to the AppleTV.  I removed the power cable (but kept USB cable in), and after a moment the LED started flashing (not as rapidly as when entering DFU mode), and iTunes said AppleTV had been restored.

Now I connected it to my TV and booted it up, and saw that the Settings icon had been replaced with a red image with “fC” in it (for “fireCore”, who’s behind Seas0nPass).  Jailbreak completed and successful, now onto installing “aTV Flash (black)”.

All of the above was done on a MacBook Pro Retina running Mac OS X 10.8.2.  Your mileage may vary.

• YouTube TV App (YouTube’s premium service at a cost of $49.99 per month).

The tips described below will address both of the apps.

Most of the issues can be broken down into three basic categories:

• A software glitch.
• An update issue.
• A network connectivity issue.

Please try each step below until your issue is fixed:

1. Restart the YouTube app. Please note that you can only close and open the app on the Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD. If your device is the Apple TV first, second or third generation, then go to step # 2. Here is how:
