Apple TV 4 - Apps, Tips & Tricks

[Hush9300]

So Chromecast support is built into the updated DStv Now app... What about AirPlay?

Funny thing is if i log onto DStv now via safari browser on the apple TV i can play all the sports highlights on catch up but all the other catch up stuff and live channels refuse to play.

That is one very confusing post.

The Apple TV doesn't have a Safari browser...

I used ipwn store,for R170 a year you get Kodi and a couple of other cool apps which i think is worth it.

What other apps do you get?

How is Live Wire?

It has free SD sports channels,the quality is great and it doesn't buffer like if i try to play the same channels through Kodi..You can also get HD channels for a subscription fee.

Kodi works like it does on any other platform. You can install addons.

On the free livewire iOS app I see airplay is disabled? Wonder what would be the way to load onto apple tv4?

Trying to set up my Apple TV 4. Apple ID verification failure on both SA and American ID's. Says passwords are incorrect. Any clues ?
PS : I updated software and tried again, same issue. Connected to wifi, my devices can airplay.

I had the same problem. Connected the Apple TV to the router with an Ethernet cable fixed it.

 

[Sean008]

Got it. Did a reset, re-updated latest software. Sorted
