A:Answer yes it does - can be plugged in just like any other streaming device. can also just plug the Apple TV into your A/V receiver and have that hooked up to the A9G, ideally with an ARC HDMI.
My set-up is that way. I use all of the other 'normal' apps like YouTube TV, Netflix, Amazon, etc on the TVs operating system, and use Apple TV as a separate source on the A/V receiver. With ARC if i change the input on the TV the Apple TV and A/V receiver just turn on automatically. Android OS doesn't let you use Apple as a downloaded app so you have to plug it in somehow.
