As if Steve didn't let petty problems between Apple and other companies to delay or prevent products to be released
That's not the ATV 4K Model.

Beware.
Why are you so dead set in spoiling this thread?
I love how amazon is integrated into the TV app. Netflix and HBO should take note!
The shows have Dolby 5.1 badges in their descriptions where applicable, so I’ve got to assume this is just a bug with the app. Why would they list the shows as being in 5.1, when it’s not available?
Amazon claims the Apple TV version of the app supports 5.1 audio. If it's not working that sounds like a bug.

At least Netflix content is included in the Universal Search function. It could be worse.

He was actually referring to the fact YouTube on AppleTV has no 4k, no HDR and no sign it ever will on an AppleTV.

word online is the app was done in summer, I think Amazon just agreed to "end of year" and stalled until the end of the year to avoid hurting sales of their fire tv boxes.
I must be only person who doesn't understand the TV App. it's really clumsy for me and never adds in the next episodes correctly.. for example I finish a episode and then I click next episode and it will play the one I've just watched.
Yeah, but when they designed the app for the Apple TV they had to create the badges and include the code that pulls the 5.1 info from their database. You wouldn’t do that if you weren’t supporting the format. Even if they just ported the app for ATV from another device, leaving those badges in there is just asking for customer service nightmares. No project manager would let that fly.
Watched a snippet of Star Trek Beyond and my Denon AVR reported it as "Stereo", so indeed there is no 5.1 audio. Hope this gets fixed ASAP.
I like how most of the movies I bought on Vudu and iTunes show up in Amazon as well, thanks to MoviesAnywhere. Great service.

maybe the integration with the TV app saves this thing, but i was surprised to see the same crappy UI that's in the Prime client in my samsung TV. with 10 trillion categories on the home page, there might as well not be any categories.
i'm happy to have prime videos directly on the ATV, but amazon has to re-think this UI.

unlike captain cook he made sure apple delivered
there's a reason he's so revered , steve was a genius
apple nowadays are utterly pathetic in comparison
I’ve also noticed that “Up Next” always shows the latest episodes of my shows, even when I have multiple episodes of a particular show to catch up on. So if I click on the show, it skips those back episodes and takes me immediately to the latest one.
Little UI issues like that prevent it from being great. There’s still no good central place to keep track of all the various shows on different services. It’s a shame.
Finally, this is great news! Love the fact that they integrated into the TV app as well... AppleTV is is finally getting some well needed traction.
