Siri Remote Touchpad Problems - Resolved?

Just like that, we seem to have solved the issues with the Siri Remote on our primary AppleTV. I'm guessing that the problem lay with the AppleTV itself, and not the Siri Remote.

Apple Siri Remote - Touchpad Problems?

We recently made the decision to become cord-cutters, cancelling DirecTV. Now, we have Sony Playstation Vue (and DirecTV NOW) through our Apple TVs. And so far, so good! Until the primary Siri remote just.... stopped... working.

Apple Watch Sport Gold with Black Leather Loop

Merry Christmas from AAAD! Last year, I got an Apple Watch Sport. (The gold one, with the blue Sport strap.) No Apple Watch Series 2 (or even Series 1) for me this year....

It's a tentative first step - but right now, it may be a Ping-level failure to launch.

Is the sun setting on the Golden Age of Apple? Apple is famous for their secrecy. We don't KNOW their long-term strategy.  Or even their short-term strategy, most of the time.
