If you’ve decided to purchase an Apple TV, the following process shows how to get going with it so that you may install your favorite programs and begin viewing right away. Apple TV HD and Apple TV 4K are the two variants of its streaming gadget now available. Both models have the same setup procedure.

Some of these stages may be removed or in a different sequence depending on the choices you select during setup.
