Attachments: AppleTV_Cheatsheet.pdf
The good news is I have the cheatsheet done (please proof for content & typos):
The bad news is that I will need to install each of these 15 free apps on each of the AppleTVs manually. There's
no way to backup & restore a standard configuration on AppleTVs.
is this document enough for the girls to handle the installs on their own? These apps are all free to
download and findable by name.
I'd like to print & laminate for the remaining 6 guest apartments and do the installs next week, if that's
convenient?
Thanks!

Hi Rich,
Sony for the delay, I've been swamped with a series of big, high-priority projects all at once (good to be busy
& have fun things to work on again).
Basically, I need to configure my AppleTV how I'm going to set all the guest boxes up, then load that
configuration into Apple's configurator program and capture an image of it.
EFTA00455862
Once that's done and I confirm it works by deploying it to my AppleTV again, I'll make a cheat sheet
explaining what each of the apps allow and how to add personal content, etc., print and laminate.
Then I'll be ready to schedule the "upgrades" to the existing boxes.
I'm hoping to get to the testing of the Apple TV configuration today or tomorrow.

So far, guests have been a baffled by the Apple TV...OK to have James set up the apartments with
some free apps as well as type up a 'cheat sheet' to leave on the coffee tables on how to work the
Apple TV?

Okay, I compiled a list of the most common stations and their corresponding AppleTV apps' requirements. Sounds
like fun, I know.
The list is below, but the short version is that MOST apps require signing in with a cable provider account that
has that channel purchased.
We just discontinued all the cable tv accounts for the apartments, so that doesn't help & TimeWamer's logins tend
to reset themselves repeatedly anyway (I couldn't just "set it and forget it" the guest would need the account
credentials). If you're wondering if we could sign them all in under the 71st St cable account... No, there's a hard
limit of 5 devices per account.
There are a handful of mostly free Apps that we could pre-install on each AppleTV:
ABC
Bloomberg (free financial news)
The Cartoon Network
CBS News
CBS Sports
CNN (free live stream)
CW (teen melodrama)
PBS
Weather channel
These apps require individual subscriptions, but most people will recognize that they need to sign in with
their account:
Hulu
Netflix
Pandora
Amazon Video when it releases
I could write up something that says "hey enjoy any of the mostly free channels (list the above in a nice table
format) or sign into your account on any of the subscription channels. If you'd like to install other apps, you'll need
to sign in with your Apple ID / iThnes account and sign into the app as required. Please remember to sign out of
your accounts when you depart."
Make it pretty, and put it in some nice display plexiglass to sit next to the TVs in the non-residential guest
apartments.
These plexiglass-frames are not too cheesy:

Yeah, this is a tough situation.
Channels on AppleTV are apps. Anyone can install apps on the AppleTV by logging in with their
Apple IDs (and remember to sign out after), but how each channel handles content licensing is up
to them -- some have subscription services that you can buy, others require you sign in with a
partnered cable account, etc.
For example:
• for HBO Go (or CNN Go) you have to sign in with a cable account that has the HBO channel on
the account.
• for HBO Now, you have to subscribe for $X per month, billed to your Apple ID.
• for Disney's channels, you have to sign in with an authorized cable account, BUT TimeWarner is
not one of the options.
EFTA00455866
So it's a bit of a mess.
For Nilli & Ehud I signed into one of the news channels as the account connected to 9 E 71st, but
each cable account can only be on 5 devices at once (and Jeffrey has A LOT of devices he uses
personally).
Pm not sure what the solution is here. I'll think on it, but I may need some guidance from Rich &
JEE on how they want this to work.
Thank you,

Mother guest just wanted to watch news ... ?
