The day has come, Apple made good on its promise and released an improved Apple TV Remote app. It's an entirely different app from the rather old Remote app Apple that has been available for several years now. Effectively, your iPhone is now capable of replacing the Siri Remote that comes with the newest Apple TV.Setup is a breeze After installing the Apple TV Remote and opening it, select the Apple TV you want to connect to the remote. If you don't see a list of Apple TVs, make sure your iPhone is connected to the same Wi-Fi as your Apple TV(s).Enlarge Image Screenshot by Jason Cipriani/CNET Tap on the name of the TV you want to control, and then enter the four-digit code shown on your TV. This is a vast improvement over the previous pairing process, which required going through the Settings app on the Apple TV and initiating the pairing process. Now you just tap, enter a code, and you're done.Enlarge Image Screenshot by Jason Cipriani/CNET Navigation When using the Apple TV Remote app, the top section of your screen mimics the touchpad on the Siri Remote that comes with the new Apple TV. Swipe in either direction to move and highlight buttons on your TV screen, tap within the touchpad area to select an item, and so on. Visible buttons include home, menu, Siri and Play/Pause. All of the buttons function as they do on the Siri Remote: tap on Menu to go back a screen; tap the Home button to go home; tap and hold the Siri button to give voice commands; and so on. Once you begin playing something, say in Netflix, three additional buttons are displayed: Details (top-right coer), and buttons to go back or skip ahead 10 seconds on either side of the Menu button. Tapping on Details will show any applicable artwork (so far I've only seen artwork show up when streaming content , ...ادامه مطلب

The updated remote control app for the 2015 Apple TV has arrived.The new app, called Apple TV Remote, is basically a software version of the Apple TV's tiny remote control: There is a large area at the top for gesture controls, making it easy to navigate around the user interface. Siri has a dedicated button allowing users to ask for a specific show or to use voice to search. And the Game Mode makes use of the accelerometer and gyroscope built into Apple mobile devices. And, like the Apple TV's forthcoming software update, it also offers a "dark mode" option.The app was first promised last year soon after the fourth-generation Apple TV box was introduced. Screenshot by Jacob Krol/CNET Available now from the App Store, the free app will work with any iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch running iOS 9.3.2 or later, but it is not optimized for the iPad's largest screen. The old remote application, known as iTunes Remote, is still available, and continues to work with older Apple TV models.Let's block ads! بخوانید, ...ادامه مطلب

Add one more premium cable service to Roku's continually growing list of apps. The Starz app, which launched in April, is now available on the company's media streamers, joining Apple TV (the new one, not the old) and Chromecast (via Android and iOS devices). The app gives you access to all of the content available from Starz as well as its sister networks, Starz Encore and Movieplex for a monthly subscription fee of $8.99. If you subscribe to Starz through your cable provider, however, you may not be able to authenticate service on Roku. Comcast, for example, will not allow you to use the app to view Starz content. Other participating cable, satellite and telephone company partners will allow you to authenticate service directly through Roku's Starz app or on a PC or Mac computer.

Roku is making it easier for viewers to catch up on the news by adding it into its universal search feature.The search feature -- which is available on current Roku streaming boxes, the Streaming Stick and televisions that have the Roku platform built-in -- now allows for entering in a topic such as "Apple" or "NBA," and will retrieve a listing of videos pertaining to that topic from across many of streaming news channels on the platform. These include news broadcasts from the four major US networks -- such as ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX -- as well as from digital outlets like Yahoo (Disclosure: CBS is the parent company of CNET). The streaming company announced the addition in a blog post on Friday.And what if you don't have a specific topic in mind? News videos can also be searched using the date by entering in the numbers without punctuation (for instance, June 20th would be 620).Roku's search feature has mainly served to help a viewer find a movie or television show across the myriad of digital stores and subscription services available on the platform. That way, a viewer could find out if they would need to purchase an episode of "Bates Motel" from a store like Amazon Video or if they can stream it from a service that already subscribe to such as Netflix.CNET has reached out to Roku for additional comment on this feature, and will update after hearing back.Let's block ads! بخوانید, ...ادامه مطلب

Saint Helena Airport Project Forget the Canary Islands, there's a new spot for your Atlantic Ocean holiday. Yesterday, the first airport on the tiny British Overseas Territory of Saint Helena officially opened. Though South African airline Comair will not begin scheduled passenger service from Johannesburg for several weeks, one of the airline's specially-equipped Boeing 737s made a test flight to the island earlier this week. Other potential passenger routes could stretch to London Gatwick and Cape Town.Located 1,210 miles (1,950 kilometres) west of Africa in the South Atlantic Ocean, Saint Helena and its population of fewer than 5,000 people was accessible only by the occasional ship from South Africa, a passage that involved several days. French political leader Napoleon Bonaparte was exiled to the island in 1815 and died there in 1821.Let's block ads! بخوانید, ...ادامه مطلب
