MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
I've managed to get hold of an apple TV box which I'm hoping will work with my turbo and Zwift. But I'm lazy and don't want to be swapping leads on my TV constantly so would like to know from anyone that uses an Apple TV box, does it give you access to Now TV as well?
Yes, assuming that it’s not one of the old ones, you can get the now tv app.
It does if you have one of the more recent ones - first gen was fixed set of apps. They subsequently let you download additional stuff incl Now TV - which works well enough
I congratulate you on your new apple tv, and I would have to agree - you are lazy.
However, fear not, I shall take some time away from my precious death-scrolling to help out.

I have a pretty old 'non-customisable' AppleTV and it HAS NowTV app on it. I can confirm the version / generation of AppleTV if that matters.
The AppleTV NowTV app does not support their “pay extra for 1080p while any non-bobbins provider can give you 4K service” aka. “NowTV Boost”. So you’ll be stuck with glorious 720p.
I used to use an iMac for Zwift then following a Zwift update last year it was no longer capable for some reason (apparently a fix is on the way for this as its now a recognized issue). Anyway I swapped over to Apple tv box and it works great but be warned using the Apple remote is a bit hit n miss and can be like a game of roulette and its very easy to bin instead of saving your rides on completion.
NowTV app is available in two flavours. Make sure you get the yellow version (more modern) though the EPG is not so well laid out.
Thanks all. Got the box set up with everything I need including Zwift. Now.... where to download motivation from?
There's an app for that!
