          Yeah, I suppose. I don’t use the rock UI, it goes straight into the Apple TV when powered on so I don’t really care that much.

            You using an OTA tuner with some HD Homerun app or anything? Boooo needing Roku’s interface for antenna TV (on Roku smart TVs) cuz Apple didn’t solve for that (why would they I guess, $treamers as they are)

            It didn’t look like there was any fantastic super easy OTA solution for Apple TV. Fine for us but maybe not the elderly. IDK

              I read the article before I saw it here (I follow ars). What they describe hasn’t been my experience. I press the power button on the Apple TV and it HDMI-CECs the TV power on and changes the input to the Apple TV HDMI eArc channel. They could change that behavior but it would break HDMI-CEC.

        Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that - mine does do this, and the LED is right in the bottom middle, and it’s super bright.

      It probably doesn’t need to be - but it was required to set up. Before I had my shield, I allowed local connections for local streaming, but you are correct, it’s probably no longer necessary.
