Apple TV help needed

[jean2579]

Our son bought us an Apple TV system on the weekend and gave us a quick tutorial. He made it seem so easy.
Now we are on our own I can not get the stupid thing to work.
I have Sourced the TV to HDMI
Then nothing.😓
HELP. What do I do next.

Sorry Jean I am useless at that sort of thing....hope you get it sorted soon.

If there are any kids under 10 in your local area, get them in to program it up. They can do it in no time at all. I'm hopeless, but the kids seem to do it all naturally 😞

I know I'm asking a stupid question but have you turned your apple tv on with it's remote?  It's a mistake I made at first.  

You have to switch your tv to HDMI with the tv remote and turn the Apple tv on with it's remote.  Just press the big middle button I think.

Hopefully your son has already set it up and put in your wifi password (if you have one).
