Apple TV
I have been using, since October, a Wahoo Kickr, which I love, with Apple TV as my video platform. Works great with Zwift and Rouvy. My question- are there other apps, such as Tacx app and one called BKOOL, that can be used directly with Apple TV without having to use an IPAD or MacBook?

Fulgaz is all I use with my Kickr bike. Rides are stunning and from places all over the world.
The rides are in full 4K video. It’s better to have the larger Apple TV to store rides for repeated use. The files are huge.
I went the other option and store the ride files on my PC, the Apple TV then streams them from there.

I loaded Fulgaz for the free trial period at least. I had difficulty getting it to run, seemed like it was very slow to start- I downloaded a ride but it took a long time, don't know whether thats them or maybe my wifi band width. Once the ride finally started it was okay- are all of the rides taken from a camera mounted on the bicycle or the rider? The constant moving of the picture due to movement of the bicycle bothers me, I much prefer those taken from a car. Will give it another try, looks like we are at least7-10 d away from being able to ride outdoors- 8=10 " of snow yesterday and current temp is 1- yes one, thats not a typo. I live in Edmond a suburb of OKC.

I suspect using a smaller closer screen might be more of an issue?
With the ride files being multiple GBs in size, I stopped live streaming them and now pre-download all my rides. Now when my wife/kid fire up internet streaming/zoom/BandWidthHogApp, I don’t care.
