You can use as many Apple TV devices simultaneously as you like - just think of them as a wired-in iPads. If you watch the same stream simultaneously then it is potluck where the resumption point will be saved but that is true for Sky Q too.

Apple TV now also supports multiple Apple ID profiles which came be switched instantly so each family member can have their personalised setup.

So for example...

Purchased a series ...example.....person of interest..

Can each Apple TV be watching a separate episode.....or even same episode without causing any issue to others


Hope that made sense

Liking the cinema for £10....think 8m currently paying £19 for cinema.....may have a attempt to get them down from that,....would be a nice saving

Just realised that my cinema went from £11 to £19 pounds per month.....phoned up and asked why....it appears I cancelled my Sky sports...only had that for the F1

Appears the 2 are linked....cancel one and the other gets more expensive

Yeah I had this problem too, it appears offers are linked to the packages at the time, I cancelled kids and the entertainment went to 20 pounds rather than 15 and I noticed this after a few months.

Queried it and they refunded on the basis i wouldn't have accepted the more expensive bill if I had known of the consequences which I didn't

Depends on the service. Say you purchase something on Amazon Prime then that allows two simultaneous streams so two Apple TVs can watch the same episode or different episodes simultaneously but it is undefined where the resumption point will be saved. For Netflix, you have screens, so different screens have different resumption points.

If you use different profiles for the Apple ID but pointing at the same Amazon Prime account then the Apple TV “Up Next” should show the correct episode.

Hmm, that shouldn't be the case really as Entertainment will be a 12 or 18 month contract, the add-on's are rolling monthly. I suppose it depends on the T&C's, I'll have to check mine as my deal ends in March and I don't want to get caught out when renegotiating.

Cinema and Sports are mostly 18-month contracts these days. It is possible to buy yourself out of the Sports contract for something like £60 but the Cinema is cast-iron.

Sorry, I was talking about Kids, Boxsets, HD and Ultimate add-on's which @csgohan4 claims removed his discount on Entertainment (unless they also cancelled Sports or Cinema at the same time).
