Secret Apple TV controls: Fifteen button combos to power up your viewing!

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/secret-apple-tv-controls' title="Secret Apple TV controls: Fifteen button combos to power up your viewing!

With AirPlay you can even stream most video and audio right off your iPhone or iPad, and mirror the display of your iOS device or Mac in your living room or conference room. It makes a personal experience into a group experience — and if you know all of these controls, it makes it easy!</p> <ul><li>$69 - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Apple-TV-MD199LL-Current-Version/dp/B007I5JT4S/?tag=imoreb-20&amp;m1k=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Order now[/url]</li> </ul><p><!--break--> </p> <h2>Basics</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/secret-apple-tv-controls' title="Secret Apple TV controls: Fifteen button combos to power up your viewing!

Some of it varies by channel — for example, pressing <strong>Up</strong> on a Netflix show screen brings up an additional menu where you can see more shows for a given actor. There's lots to discover, but this should give you a great start. And like Apple said, a $69 Apple TV with HBO Now is just the beginning!</p> <ul><li><p>$69 - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Apple-TV-MD199LL-Current-Version/dp/B007I5JT4S/?tag=imoreb-20&amp;m1k=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Order now[/url]</p></li> <li><p>Apple TV: The ultimate guide</p></li> </ul><ul><li>Secret Apple Watch controls</li> <li>Secret Siri commands</li> <li>Secret Safari shortcuts</li> <li>Secret Mail shortcuts</li> <li>Secret keyboard shortcuts</li> <li>Secret power-saving shortcuts</li> <li>Secret Apple TV controls</li> </ul><div> <style> <!--/*--><![CDATA[/* ><!--*/ .imageleft { float: left; margin: 0 25px 0 0; } .imageright { float: right margin: 0 0 0 25px; } .screenshot-16x9 { height: auto; width: 88.97%; } .screenshot-16x9.imageleft, .screenshot-16x9.imageright { width: 50%; } .screenshot-4x3 { height: auto; width: 66.66%; } .screenshot-4x3.imageleft, .screenshot-4x3.imageright { width: 50%; } /*--><!]]>*/ </style></div> </div></div></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/4464e57c/sc/28/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
