Now that Apple has once again updated their Apple TV with an all new 4K model, it has generated some renewed interest. If you believe Apple only has a locked down system and you can't enjoy some of the same perks available on Android or Roku media streamers, you may be surprised to learn this is not exactly true.

Sure, Apple would rather you only watched content from their iTunes store. But this has not stopped enterprising developers and gifted individuals from figuring out how to use this media streamer in ways Apple probably never intended and for now that they lost market share to Amazon and Roku, they seem to be turning a blind eye.



Disclaimer: These are some apps from the DarkSide, that will make your new Apple TV every bit as useful as many other media streamers and still let you enjoy its great build quality and one of the best graphical user interface of any media streamer ever made. A Jailbreak Is No Longer Required! Some apps may contain pirated content and may not be legal to use in your country. Don't use your Apple TV for evil.

By supporting paid apps and channel developers they will continue to keep brining us awesome content.

Cast and SideLoad Apps On Apple TV


You won't be able to get the same apps on an Apple TV that you can easily find on Android Media players, this does not mean you can't watch them.  You can, because just like Chromecast, Apple gives their users the same ability to easily cast content that can be found  and watched on an Apple iPhone or iPad using AirPlay from a web browser or other apps.

Android devices can also benefit from this by casting their favorite TV app right on over to an Apple TV and watch this content on their television.

This is not as easy on Android as it is from an iPhone or iPad because Apple likes to keep everything behind their walled garden. But it is still possible using a cool little work around and Apple's popular AirPlay function.

You will need the help of an app called Double Twist which lets you stream music and videos to your Apple TV from an Android phone or tablet. It only costs a couple of dollars and it is a one time fee.






Once installed, the Double Twist app can effectively send shows, movies and songs right to your Apple TV. This can let you use popular streaming apps on Android like Terrarium TV and watch the same content right on your Apple TV.
