Jonathan, thanks for the pointers. I thought I remembered the spoken message after a while after boot. It’s been a while since I set mine up and the 4th gen is a bit different. Thank you for the information, much appreciated. > On Dec 8, 2015, at 12:11 PM, Jonathan Mosen wrote: > > Hi Scott

Hi Scott, after a period of inactivity, Apple TV 3rd generation speaks an announcement after it has been booted up in a factory default state, much like the Mac does. But then you do need to toggle VoiceOver on to continue, and the announcement explains how to do this. For those interested, I ha

Would it possible for you to describe the location of the menu button on the remote so that I can press it 3 times as you said? I mean, is it top right/left, second row right/left/centre etc? Andrew > On 7 Dec 2015, at 19:18, Bill Dengler wrote: > > Press menu three times to enable VoiceOver

Press menu three times to enable VoiceOver during setup assistant. I have several 4th generation Apple TVs and a 2nd generation Apple TV and this is how I enabled VO on all of them for provisioning. I then disabled it (since its primary users are sighted), but set up accessibility menu/shortcut i

Has this always been the case, I know it does start over time as well that’s how I first set it up. Also just to confirm, 3RD gen Apple TV is the version out just before the one that was released this year right? A small box about the size of half a video tape, perfectly square with rounded co
