How can I tell the time with an Apple TV?

appletv

I'd like to tell the time with my Apple TV, so I don't have to use a computer. But I can't seem to find a single clock app or screensaver for Apple TV. Anyone know if one exists?

I'm using an Apple TV 3, with Apple TV Software 6.0.

Solution 1:

Sorry for the shameless plug, but I made the app just because Apple TV lacks the time: Screen Clock.

Solution 2:

On the Apple TV models with apps and Siri (4th & 5th generations)…

Ask Siri

Simply ask Siri for the current time. Hold down the remote button to speak with Siri.

Progress bar

While watching a video in play, tap the touch surface once to see the time remaining to elapse to the end of that show/movie/clip.

Tap again the touch surface to alter the markers on the play progress bar to current time-of-day and estimated time when that show will be done playing if uninterrupted.
