How about stop adding loads of random channels (which barely anybody uses) and give us an Apple TV App Store!?

That way, lots more developers and broadcasters can create channels and users can pick and choose which they have installed on their Apple TV.

Don't you think Apple is working on that?
 
Why does Apple always ignore international customers?

I understand sometimes the limitation is the content provider, and not Apple, but in Music, Movies/TV Shows and Books (three of their top markets), they really lack in the international market.
 
Good news for AppleTV.

Now, I wish there was an option to create folders.
Like I could have a SPORTS folder, MOVIE Folder, INT'L Folder, NETWORK folder, etc.

Or similar to the Xfinity X1 OnDemand Guide that has lines of channels you can scroll through. rather than a huge list flowing downward, they are bracketed into sections that you then scroll through sideways.

I am sure a New UI and UX is coming though.
 
Apple has always talked about creating products that delight the user, yet the Apple TV interface is a total joke.

A little less iWatch, and Phablet, a little more Apple Television, please.


I've been using a Roku since 2010 because the apple tv is a joke, 4 years later, still wishing for a good Apple tv and its still a joke.

I now have a Roku 3 and would ditch it for a new and improved Apple tv in a heart beat, as I know many would with their Roku and Amazon Fire TVs.

:mad:
 
NFL / NCAA Football?

Does anyone know if the coverage will extend to showing NCAA or NFL football games? I'm a big fan of the way ESPN is showing the World Cup games on the ESPN "channel", and would love to see NFL / NCAA games handled the same way.
 
...you do realize that abc, nbc, fox and others broadcast over the air for "free." Advertisers pay a lot of money to get a few seconds of air time.

You just have to buy an antenna...

Not that I'm who you're replying to. But I own a really pricey TERK antenna and I still don't get all my local stations in LA. I'm also one of those people who's body effect radio signals so depending on where I'm standing in my apartment my signal cuts in and out when watching broadcast TV.
 
Can we please just make a "Channel Store" or something so I don't have my UI messed with every time someone gets an idea to install a new channel I don't want.
 
The networks make their $$$ from commercials

And remember that there was a time before cable subscriptions. I remember when cable launched and I thought, "Who in their right mind would pay for television?" The promise was that cable would be commercial-free, because you were paying for it. But we all know how that worked out.

As long as we're force-fed commercials, the service should be free.
 
Ok, more channels.

Where is the App Store? This isn't complicated Apple.

The more time goes on, the more I feel like they aren't going to create one. For whatever reason, Apple seems content to let the Apple TV linger.

Adding channels is not enough.

I want choice on what channels I want to add and Apple clearly has no issues with App Stores. Just not the Apple TV. Make NO SENSE.

Good things come to those with patience. :)

Exactly! You either watch commercials which pay for the station, or pay for it yourself.
