The only thing you lose is the Trailers app.

maybe there was an update, but the dns change left Netflix unusable until you changed the dns back...really thats all I would use it for, Plex, Netflix and I might airplay something every once in while...got to be kidding me if they think I am going to pay for the other channels.

1) Disney Junior (no idea why this wasn't included with XD and regular)
2) Nick (for the kids)
3) Sunday Ticket (although I do had a PS3 and get it that way)

Ultimately I'd settle for universal AirPlay on all my TV apps, only about half of the ones that added live-stream or all recent shows have it.

You must have installed Plexconnect wrong, the whole point of the program is to let you use all the ATV apps except the Trailers app which, instead, becomes the Plex interface.

Apple seem to have no interest in marketing this device outside of North America.

Turner Classic Movies (TCM, in HD please)

BBC iPlayer

PBS (I know, they already support AirPlay, but I'd prefer a direct channel with on demand for everything)

my appletv is collecting dust and will do so until it has a plex app

I highly doubt you'll get one. Apple is not generally in the business of promoting apps that replace their stock ones - they're not going to open their arms for Plex when they want people to use iTunes.

Thank You All

I appreciate all the responses. I actually looked into a few of the “wants” shared that I was unfamiliar with.

As for me, the 3 Channels I would like to see on Apple TV are Esquire (for entertainment); ESPNW (for sports); and Prison Planet TV (for news). :D

Wasn't Crackle added already?

Amazon Video would be nice. But Airplay works at least. And Plex would be nice.

The amazon airplay quality isn't very good especially for bigger tvs. I have a 55" and there's a lot of pixelation.

3 Channels I Want On Apple TV are….

That's strange. Tried it on a 55" and 65" HDTV and it looks fine to me.


I compared it with a roku that played directly to the tv. And it was significantly better. Wanted to really like the atv but I'm returning it and waiting to see what the new update brings.
