Epl TV is a very capable streamer, which only improved over time by adding Siri Remote, applications and TV guide. Nevertheless, Apple TV is not protected from problems. There are several typical problems with this smart box. Fortunately, most of these problems are easily solved.

Here are five ordinary problems with Apple TV and how to eliminate them.

Some application stopped working.

As in the case of a smartphone, there may be problems with applications on EPL TV. Sometimes they brake or even stop responding. When this happens, the best option will simply forcibly close the application.

To forcibly close the application, click the "TV" or "Home" button, swipe left or right to highlight the application and swipe up the SIRI touch panel.

Apple TV will fail.

Sometimes it happens that it is buggy at once more than just one application. In addition, from time to time, when Apple TV connects to the home wireless network and has access to the Internet, and as if applications simply do not receive data for an incomprehensible reason.

If Apple TV behaves like this or generally works well, it is better to simply reboot it. You can do this by clicking on the "Settings\u003e System\u003e Restart" menu or holding the "MENU" and "TV" buttons until the indicator on the front panel of the Apple TV does not start flashing quickly. When you release two buttons on the remote control, Apple TV will restart.

The remote control stops working.

If the Siri console stops working, first try to charge it through the Lightning port in the lower end of the console. You can check the charge level on Apple TV in the "Remote and Device" section ,.

If it does not work, try resetting the remote control, moving it into the pairing mode. Make it, while holding the console next to Apple TV and holding down the "Menu" buttons and enhancing sound for two or three seconds.

Audio is not reproduced.

Periodically, without explaining the reasons, the sound on Apple TV will be disconnected. Obviously, it will depend on the settings, but if it happens to you, try to restart the TV and any audio equipment connected to Apple TV.

Usually it solves the problem. If it is not, try restarting Apple TV. Also, make sure that the sound settings are correct. Go to "Settings\u003e Audio and Video" section and make sure that the correct speakers are selected for audio outputs, and for "Audio Mode" is set to "Auto".

Not enough storage space.

If you installed a lot of applications or games on Apple TV, storage spaces may not be enough over time. The obvious solution is to delete unused applications and games. However, if you decide to do this from the main screen, you will need four steps to delete each application:

• Highlight the application you want to delete, press the touch panel and keep until the icons start trembling.
• Click the "Play / Pause" button.
• Select "Delete".
• Click "Delete" again to confirm.

Deleting multiple applications may take some time. A faster way to delete applications that shows how many useful storage space is used by each application - it is to go to the Settings\u003e Main\u003e Storage Management menu. Applications will be sorted in descending order of the file size. Just click on the basket icon to the right of the application and click "Delete" to delete all applications.
