Siri can also perform a quick rewind so you don't miss important plot points. Simply ask it, "what did he just say? The remote that came in the box isn't the only remote that works with the Apple TV. You can add a universal infrared remote, like the one that controls your cable box. If you upgraded from an older Apple TV, those remotes work too. If you'd like a more private viewing experience, you can pair wireless bluetooth headphones to your Apple TV.

You can also add a Bluetooth speaker in case your TV's speakers aren't getting it done. Your Apple TV will go to sleep automatically, but if that's too long to wait, you can put your Apple TV to sleep immediately by holding down the Home button on the Apple TV remote and selecting Sleep from the screen. Swipe down on the Apple TV remote while watching video to open up additional options, like subtitles, closed captioning, chapters, and speaker settings.

The new Apple TV remote can be a little bit jumpy. The menu button, actually. We're used to go to our multitasking or recent apps views on our smartphones, but probably not on our TVs.

All you need to do is double tap the TV button and you'll launch this view. To choose the app you want to switch to, just swipe across the touch sensitive control pad at the top of the remote.

If an app becomes unresponsive or problematic, this is a really handy way to kill it, before re-launching it. Just open the recent apps view, swipe until you get to the app, then swipe upwards on the control throw it off the screen and - in doing so - dismissing it. In the last couple of Apple TV generations, Siri has been integrated to make it possible to request movies or TV shows using your voice.

All you need to do is press the little button on the remote that looks like a microphone. Hold it down while you make your request and let it go, and you should see the text appear on screen in real time, followed by relevant results. You can say something like "Play Spider-man Homecoming" or, while watching a particular movie or show you can ask who's in that scene, or who directed the movie, and it'll bring up the results in a pop-up graphic at the bottom of the screen.

It doesn't just apply to content from Apple's own iTunes services either. There are a number of other content providers that can be searched using Siri, so even if you don't own it, you can watch it providing it's available to stream somewhere else.

Choose the app icon you want to move, then hold down the select button on the remote, and you'll suddenly see the icon vibrate similar to how app icons vibrate in iOS , meaning you can move it left, right, up, or down with your remote. Just use the touchpad, and then press the select button again to set things in place.

Like iPhone, if you want create a folder of many apps or folders to declutter your home screen, you can do that too. Just hover one icon over the top of another and watch it create a folder automatically.

If you just want to get rid of an app altogether, you can delete it. From there, click "delete". One of the most annoying things about any home entertainment device is the remote, especially if you need to use it for inputing text queries.

If you're one of the few - if not only - people in this world to never lose a remote, you still have to suffer through the experience of manually clicking every letter when searching. Should you ever lose your Apple TV remote or simply want to use a keyboard to type a query, download the free Remote app on your iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad or even - would you believe it - on your Apple Watch. It's a beautiful, easy thing and nearly impossible to lose.

When you first set it up, it'll look for Apple TV boxes on your network, and then once you've selected the one you want to use it with, you put in a code that it displays on your screen and boom, you're done. If you're looking for a specific part of a movie or missed some when you left the room to get that thing you forgot what it was , you can scrub back through the video timeline by hitting the pause button and then just swiping left on the touchpad until you find the scene you're looking for.

As you scrub it'll show a preview thumbnail above the timeline updating in real time, so it's super accurate. If you'd rather go a little more old-school, you can just click the left or ride side of the touchpad to go back or forwards in 10 second increments. This one is handy for those of you who have trouble hearing or simply want to watch a foreign movie but still understand what's happening: Apple TV lets you enable subtitles.

There are a few ways to do this, but the easiest way by far is to swipe downwards while you're watching a show. Available on HBO Max. A dark mentorship forms between Deborah Vance, a legendary Las Vegas comic, and an entitled, outcast year-old comedy writer.
