Nice explanation. May I add that "Bluetooth keyboard" includes any
Bluetooth braille display such as HumanWare's Apex.

Hi!
I'm replying to 1 of your original messages, I'm see that others
have also taken the time to reply so I'm sorry if I'm repeating a
lot of what's already been written.
I've been using an Apple TV 2ND Generation unit now for 3 years and
a lot has changed with that unit since I first got it but one thing
has not and that's the accessibility angle, the Apple TV has
Voiceover onboard which was my primary reason for getting the unit
in the first place.
Perhaps the best way to describe the Apple TV is as an entertainment
unit but a most inteligent one at that.
You can for example watch/rent/purchase movies or TV shows,
documentaries, stream your iTunes library either from iCloud using
iTunes Match or from a shared library on your computer network.
You can also use the Apple TV for "Airplay" work, you can stream to
an "Airplay" device or from an "Airplay" device, for instance you
can stream video to your Apple TV from your Computer, Android Device
etc and do the reverse, stream video from your Apple TV to a
compatible Airplay device.
Recently Bluetooth was enabled as part of the update, this - at
present - allows the use of a Bluetooth keyboard in much the same
way as with an iPhone etc, makes for easy navigation through the
system, handy when searching or typing in passwords etc.
The Apple TV can connect to your Home Network in either of 2 ways,
via the dual band Wi-Fi connectivity or via a 100MBPS LAN port.
The device has 2 outputs, a HDMI output which connects to most
modern-day TV sets or surround-sound receivers and a Fibre Optical
digital output.
Hope this helps.
