Set up Apple TV
To use Apple TV, you need:
A high-definition or 4K TV with HDMI
An HDMI cable to connect Apple TV to your TV (for 4K HDR, you may require a compatible Ultra High Speed HDMI cable, sold separately)
Access to an 802.11 wireless network (wireless streaming requires 802.11a, g, n, or ac) or an Ethernet network and broadband internet
An Apple ID for purchasing and renting, downloading apps from the App Store, and using Home Sharing
To take full advantage of Apple TV 4K’s audio and visual capabilities, you’ll need a TV that supports 4K, HDR, and Dolby Vision, and a sound system that is Dolby Atmos–compatible.
