The Apple TV now supports voice control, just like your iPhone. You can use Siri to find something to watch or you can use Siri to control playback. Just because you have a sweet new Apple TV remote doesn't mean you need to hold it all the time.

Tell Siri to play a game, find an action movie or Find me some funny TV shows and the Apple TV will respond to help you find something to watch without typing out a show name.

There is a microphone button on the Apple TV remote and dual microphones that can hear what you are saying even with the TV on. Of course you can also say the name of a show you want to watch and it will go right to it.

    I won’t be giving up my Roku 3s but it’s good to hear PLEX will finally be supported on AppleTV.

    Why would I download any movies to the new Apple TV? I have an Apple TV 3 and play them directly from the Cloud; I’d figure I’d continue to this…will there be an option in the new Apple TV? As I am not a hardcore gamer, I’d think a 32GB is sufficient?
