![]() ![]() It can recoil to show it's the top/bottom and the user would have to scroll past it. At the extreme ends, it might have a blank area beyond the selection bar but it can be filled with something or even wrap around. It would have to animate the row into place but it should still be faster to get to what the user wants and it can have animation interrupts so if a row is 50% into the selection bar and the user swipes right and taps before the vertical scroll animation stops, it still knows what the closest icon was to open it. Then it's just a left-right swipe to change selection in the row. It's a lot easier to just have one gesture so for example have the selection row locked in the middle of the screen (highlighted white bar) and then vertical scroll can be as fast as it needs because it's just swapping the row, the active selection will always be in that row. It's probably hard to distinguish between a scroll and a selection change, you can only base it on swipe speed. Just now it feels like you have to swipe over and over to get down the rows, that should be possible in a single gesture to swipe down to the row and then slide around to select the icon. The momentum scrolling on iOS devices is a lot faster, it would be nice if it was tuned differently on Apple TV or have a setting that allows the user to set the scroll speed. On remote screens, it needs scroll, select, tap: ![]() There's also no need for selection on iOS, it's just scroll and tap.

UEI advises orders for the remote control can be placed from December, but only by "Multichannel Video Program Distributors," not consumers. Lastly, cable providers can add their own branding to the remote. Using Bluetooth LE to communicate with the Apple TV itself, with support for Apple's MFi authentication, the remote also uses infrared to provide a universal control function for the television. The remote also includes a button for making Siri requests.īilled as enhancing "the live TV experience," the remote also has a dedicated button marked "Guide," which will automatically open up the cable provider's electronic program guide within their tvOS app. Instead, the remote uses a directional control pad, along with media navigation keys, menu and Home buttons, power button, and channel and volume up and down buttons. Following a similar path to the Button Remote for Apple TV, its own version offers more buttons for users to press, rather than relying on a trackpad. (UEI) announced on Friday it was producing its own Apple TV remote, one that is intended to be acquired and distributed by cable providers, reports The Verge. Now, one company is attempting to take advantage of the concept by enabling cable providers to further brand their Apple TV-based package, one that also does away with the Siri Remote. ![]() The Apple TV has been offered as a bonus from some cable companies for a few years, with Apple's set-top box used as an alternative to the usual cable box or DVR. ![]()
