    Does apple tv need wifi?
    kennith
    about 2 years ago
    You need an internet connection to set up Apple TV, but not to use it. Obviously, it won't be able to access any on-line content when off-line. And it doesn't gracefully support storing content locally, so you'd need a network to access content.

    The company's deep pockets and relationships with other industries give Apple's streaming service an advantage over some competitors. There are many great shows and movies on Apple TV Plus, and in many cases, you can watch the first episode or two of an Apple Original series for free.

    Apple TV works without the internet but not to its full potential. You can use it to watch downloaded content or play downloaded games. You can also use your other devices to cast videos onto your Apple TV. Don't forget to connect to the internet enough to get your updates.

John Archer is impressed by the new Apple TV – especially its remote – but questions how much of an upgrade it is from what’s gone before Having taken four years to come up with a sequel 
to its 4K streaming box, the hope has to be that Apple 
has delivered a really substantial upgrade. So let’s get 
right into picking out where the differences lie. The most instantly obvious – and welcome – improvement is the Siri remote control.
