Yesterday, Apple released TVOS 10.1 for the fourth-generation Apple TV, and with it came the much-anticipated TV app. Unfortunately, the TV app isn’t ready for release. The number of satellite and cable subscription services that are integrated with the TV app is almost non-existent, and although Hulu is integrated with the app, Netflix is not.
Even if you have no interest in the TV app, you will notice that when you press the home button on your remote, it will launch the TV app at the point where you were last watching. If you press it again, the home button will bring up the home screen. If you want your home button to bring up the home screen without first launching the TV app, go to settings; then remotes and devices; and then select home button to change its function back to what it was before the update.
I am enjoying that I can use Siri to play my favorite shows on Hulu, both on the Apple TV and on my iPhone, but my cable provider and Netflix are not yet integrated; therefore, it isn’t a one stop place for video content yet.
