In so many ways, TV has never been better. The programmes are amazing. Live sport and news coverage go beyond anything you might have imagined. The options are almost dizzying. And the way you watch has evolved with apps. Apps give you control over what, when and where you want to watch. But something happened as we marched into this exciting new era. The overall TV experience got left behind. Apple TV simplifies it all. It’s designed for you to easily navigate and, most importantly, fully enjoy this new world of video apps. Apple TV is all you need for the way you watch today.
Entertainment AppsApps. How you watch television today.
Apps have liberated television, letting you choose precisely what and when you want to watch. Apps like BBC iPlayer, Netflix, NOW TV, Hopster and Disney Life give you access to everything that entertains you — from blockbuster films and TV programmes to breaking news and weather. There are also programmes for kids, live music events, concerts, podcasts and more.
From the programmes you know and love, to those you haven’t discovered yet, Apple TV brings you the distinctive content of BBC iPlayer, including entertainment, drama, documentaries and so much more.
Watch TV programmes and films recommended just for you, including award-winning Netflix original series, films and documentaries.
With NOW TV you can watch the latest films on demand, exclusive live sport from all seven Sky Sports channels, and the programmes everyone’s talking about on channels you won’t find on Freeview.
Give your pre-schooler aged two to six a safe, ad-free way to enjoy quality programing. Offering a smart parental timer and helpful recommendations on programmes and mini-games, Hopster is a great environment to laugh and learn with shows like Super Why and Ben & Holly’s Little Kingdom.
Enjoy hours of Disney magic with Disney Life — the largest collection of Disney films, Disney Channel box sets, Disney XD and Disney Junior programmes ever, all in one place.
With so many video apps to choose from, you’ll never say there’s nothing on TV again.
Siri RemoteThe fastest way to find what you’re looking for? Ask Siri.
Just say which film or programme you want to watch, and Siri searches popular services — including iTunes and Netflix — to find exactly what you want. For example, ask Siri to “Show me some good dramas.” Or “Show me action films.” You’ll instantly see all your viewing options and whether you can rent, buy, or watch with a subscription.
“I want to watch the next episode of Homeland”
“Play some hits from the ‘90s”
“Turn on subtitles”
“Who directed Jason Bourne”

“Play some hits from the ’90s”
