I added the Remote app launcher as a complication to my Watch a couple months ago and it was the best thing I ever did. Having it as a complication not only helps you launch it faster, but it keeps it running in the background. You’re connected to the last Apple TV you used in under 500ms. It’s not my main remote, but with kids, boy does it come in handy ALL the time.
60/mo is the same as bying 20 shows per year. I don’t even watch that many!
I changed the touch pad sensitivity to fast. we’ll see how that goes with multiple activities going on. right now it seems to work fine. I can’t imagine its a network thing. everything I have is hard wired and my network speed is around 160 Mbps.
As I previously stated…
Buying cable shows on iTunes with season passes, is more convenient, cheaper and better than cableTV.
$60/month = $720 annually = 20.5 tv show season passes on iTuned (at $35/season pass).
Having an antenna and channels makes it even cheaper, as you can simply DVR the non cable channels on your own.
With OTA broadcasts aside, I doubt your TV show count will exceed 10 (let alone 20) season passes within a year.
It’s also much better.
One other thought…
Why do we even need to pay cable TV for channels which have commercials! Other than a minimum fee to provide the signal, not sure why the channels charge anything if they show commercials!
One because of the infrastructure, and 2 because the channels charge the cable companies to carry them.
Everyone wants to charge the maximum they can get.
The whole idea of a channel is now outdated. I like the idea of just paying for the content I consume, and not the other 23 hours.
Shows and movies are further along this path than other content. I wish advertising would just die, and then I could just pay $.05 for every article I read. A good pay service still hasn’t taken over.
I would gladly pay a nickel for every article I read, if it meant no more ads
