That’s mostly true. But better than being spied on & tracked by google and Amazon.

Yeah, I tried laptops in the 1990s and they were very heavy and ran super hot so I never use them now.
In all seriousness, though, Siri works very well on Apple TV. It seems to be tuned there to listen specifically for TV and movie titles. In my experience the accuracy is quite good. For example I asked for "Peanuts Halloween special" the other night and it took me straight to It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, despite the fact that I'd gotten 0% of the title correct.
I can attest to this being a common occurrence after accidentally pressing the button. The only thing I ever used Siri for on the ATV was to check the remote battery level and Apple intentionally broke that feature years ago. But I can't disable Siri because then accidentally pressing the button launches that useless 'search' application which is somehow ever more disruptive. So annoying.
But you can already say “Hey Siri” when you’re wearing AirPODS!!!! LOL
I know they mean while you’re streaming audio from the Apple TV. But still. Such a tiny change. LOL

One of the highlighted features when the Siri remote was introduced in the first place
If you set the ATV region to somewhere like US, UK, Ireland, etc., Siri should work for you in English. I live in the Czech Republic and have my Apple TV’s region set to the US. I rarely use Siri on ATV, but when I do it’s in English. If you’re worried about local content/apps, etc. that’s linked to the Apple ID you’re using (my main one is also US based, but I also have an Apple ID set to the Czech Republic that I switch to for apps and such that are only available in the local store.). Regardless of the one I’m using, if I ask for the weather, it still comes up Prague. I, of course, don’t know your use case, but for me it works well like this.

You have noticed that the Netflix app interface seems to have stopped in 2016, several features are missing and visually it looks like an old version. Do you know why? I compared it to my LG C2 TV, but also a C9 ... actually all recent TVs have a more modern and updated version.
I’ll see if it works to add a second account.
EDIT: It did, thanks very much!
