In the new edition of Take Control of Apple TV, Josh Centers addresses the surprising topic of whether you need Apple’s set-top box to enjoy the benefits of what it offers. Josh talks about the proliferation and quality of the Apple TV app on smart TVs and other devices, what came and went from the book, and why. How the Control Center may be better than the Siri Remote for controlling the Apple TV, how Apple TV use can affect your television purchase, and more are covered by Josh in this discussion.   This edition of MacVoices is supported by LinkedIn Jobs.
