The Apple TV can do so much more than stream Netflix and Hulu: Impress your friends with these tricks
  • The Apple TV is more than just a box for streaming Netflix and Hulu.
  • You can use the Apple TV to control your lights, browse Amazon and order food.
  • CNBC's Todd Haselton shows you how to get the most out of your Apple TV
You might currently use your Apple TV to stream music, watch Netflix and rent movies.

It's great for all of those things, but it can also do a lot more. Sometimes you just need to know where to look.

By knowing the right settings, the proper Siri commands and a few special apps, you can use your Apple TV for everything from calming down at the end of the day to controlling the lights.

Here are some Apple TV tips and tricks to help you get the most out of it.

Use your phone to type in text

The keyboard on the Apple TV is atrocious. It's the worst part of the experience, because you need to use the remote to slide around and tap each letter for a username or password.

But you can save yourself a bunch of time by just typing on your iPhone. Here's how:

  • Make sure your iPhone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Apple TV.
  • Tap into an empty text box on your Apple TV with your remote.
  • Look at your iPhone.
  • You'll see a notification that you can type right from your iPhone.
  • Type in the text.
