![]() I haven't tested whether it plays well with 'modern' stuff like Netflix Originals since they didn't exist and therefore weren't intended for the hardware of 2010, but I am sure things that were available such as Star Trek:TNG and other shows that've been there long-term would play fine. One of the coolest parts is that if you prefer the older UX, the Netflix app pre-dates the mess it is today, including the lack of annoying auto-play videos while scrolling the list of available content. It's not cellular capable that I know of? I just got it to watch my ATV content and Netflix.Īny idea what 'Activation: Failed' means? It works fine so I'm just curious what 'activation' is for. I don't watch sports too much but I think it's locale specific or the apps are sent to the device based on your internet/cable provider (correct me if I'm wrong here-I have Spectrum and many of the 'channels' are on my Spectrum subscription live sports, NBA, Starz, Showtime, etc) Mine didn't have an MLB app, but it does have an NBA app. No Aerials but those always froze my newer ones. ![]() Works snappy, and I adore the screen savers. Still think I got an excellent deal on this thing. Now I can literally tap an app and enjoy confidently. I had placed my newer Apple TVs in a drawer after they not only nagged me about updates each time I paused or backed out of an app, or the screensaver was dismissed, or just sitting at the home screen, and then the apps I installed on them broke (you need tvOS 16 to open Netflix-really?!) So this 2nd Gen is not just my protest but a way to break free of that annoyance and stress. I'm getting an 'activation: Failed' in settings but I am unsure what it means as it works perfectly fine? Other than that it's working 100%.īeen on a tech downgrade and loving it-Just found a Wii U, an LCD TV for my kitchen from 4/2009, an old RCA streaming box from what appears to be 2010 (by the apps and UI design-no date code on the thing but the fact it has Picasa and Flickr tells me it's likely from that time) and now this wonderful little Apple TV that DOES NOT ANNOY ME WITH UPDATE NOTIFICATIONS thank goodness. I was right! I was able to login to my Apple ID, set up Netflix and it all works! I figured it'd be a neat little box to watch Netflix and my iTunes content on, and I would have that wonderful skeuomorphic UX they had back then. I long ago had one of these and at the time I hated that it lacked an app store, but today that wouldn't bother me.
