   My wife insisted, that Netflix, Amazon, HBO and satellite TV is not enough and she really needs Apple TV, so I bought her Apple TV box. Why are people saying, that Apple products are user friendly? To set it up was one of the worst experiences I ever had.

     Then I was able to login on Apple TV device. Using TV remote was quite hard to enter password, because the cursor goes over multiple letters with single click, but at the 3rd try I was able to enter it. Wanted to finally activte Apple TV+, but no, it needs iTunes account, but again it's not possible to create it on the device itself.

     It wanted Apple ID, but it's not possible to create one on the device itself. In qutebrowser loading the web page got stuck at 0 %. On Windows in Chrome it somehow worked, but last step always failed with something like: Account can not be created at this time. I rebooted to Linux again and in Firefox I was able to finish Apple ID creation. And BTW I created address starting with apple@... and it was straight rejected as invalid email address.

     So back to PC, I've installed iTunes in wine, but it only showed black screen. I had to reboot to Windows again, install iTunes there and create account there. Back to Apple TV, activate Apple TV+ and it wants password again, 3-4 tries and done.

     Just tell her how to pirate FFS, and that with 300kč per service, you can get a luxurious dinner each month if she just watches the movies on the free internet.
