Finally broke down and got an Apple TV after my fire stick annoyed me for the last time. What are some cool features that may not be apparent right away? Anything that improves the qol on the device at all?

Just open up the FaceTime app on your ATV and it will give you prompts to connect your phone and how to orient it. Once it’s connected, you just use the remote to manage calls

Just to add, this is only available on the 2nd and 3rd generation 4K models.

Actually, FaceTime on Apple TV is exclusive to the 3rd generation 4K model only.

Yeah I’ve used it personally in my 2nd gen. It’s a cool feature, but that damn continuity prompt when your phones near a MacBook is insanely obnoxious. I have to keep it off until my kid needs to FaceTime the grandparents
