Ie, turn on phone, unlock phone (slow if it's a pin), get eyes to adjust to light, push pause about 7 seconds too late. Trying to use a smart phone to control something is amazingly clumsy, especially if you've got the lights dim. I never liked Chromecast much, because there's no remote for it. But I hate watching TV on my computer, I want to watch TV from my couch. When I click play just start the fricken movie. Why make it so we have to drill into the movie, it's irritating. Why can't the "resume button just be on the splash screen. JRIVER MEDIA CENTER RASPBERRY PI MOVIEThen if it's a movie I started to watch and didn't finish it'll show up a "play/resume" screen. So I have to click play again to start the movie (those 2 "play clicks my be reverse order but they are both always there). I get the splash screen with the menu for Play, extras etc, so I choose play, Then it brings me to another screen where it wants to tell me about the plot of the movie I haven't seen, which irritates me because I do not want the plot of the movie, I want to just watch the movie. That's cool cause the chance I want to watch it at time of purchase is high. I go into moive sna purchase it and it auto loads so I can watch it. Generally I am ok with the interface, but what I dislike is how many times I have to click play to watch a movie/show. ![]() ![]() With the 2nd/3rd Gen I had to log in and out of accounts to go between the two and that kind of sucked. This is useful since I have purchased hundreds of TV shows and Movies from iTunes US store and have Japanese Netflix and Hulu accounts. I love that the 4th Gen connects to my plex server, and that I can connect to both my US and Japanese itunes accounts without logging out of either. It is the only one I have any experience with. Also a touch surface is WAY WAY better for scrolling through lists of things than any buttons, much faster. The buttons of course press, but the touchpad ALSO presses, you can feel if you are at an edge to press, you can feel when you are not near an edge to press. Who on earth has such poor motor coordination they cannot manage this? Hint: My three year old niece can use it easily. also if you have an iPhone and a keyboard comes up on the Apple TV, you can just type on your phone.Ĭome on, the control is just swiping across the surface that is like an inch wide, or tapping one of the edges or the center - while you are holding it. The SIRI button is mainly used for searches, and works really well. You can tell which way is up by feel, and since you are using the touch surface for most selections you can easily use the remote in the dark, without looking. I have not issues with this remote at all. Designers can't seem to get it through their heads that the #1 priority for TV remote is for it to be usable without looking away from the TV ![]()
