I'd love for Apple to add some "screensaver options" to the AppleTV screensaver, similar to the 3rd party Aerial screensaver for the Mac... some of the scenery is gorgeous, but we have no clue of the location... on the Aerial screensaver for the Mac, there are options to display information like the location the video was taken, your local time/weather, etc...

Am I alone in this wish?

On the new remote press the Up arrow to display the location, press the Down arrow to hide it, or just wait a few seconds and it will disappear. Press the Left arrow to scroll backwards through the list of screensavers. Press the Right arrow to scroll forwards through the list of screensavers.
 
Screensavers on the ATV are a killer feature about which I have few complaints. However, I think it’s time to add some new cities. Paris, Chicago, Vancouver? I’d love that.
 
New ones with tvOS 15 is good, but it doesn't mean we will get new ones in a timely fashion after the initial release. I would also like the ability to browse through and select the ones that display. I like the nighttime aerial views of cities, but they keep hiding those. Apparently the screensavers feature is close to being "abandoned ware".
