Wow setting up the TV app on Apple TV is painful. When I launched it it only showed me one app and didn't say anything about opening other apps to sign in. I'd say maybe 30% of my apps supported single sign on. The rest made me go to a website and enter an activation code. And then there was one app that told me to go to a website and as I was doing that it logged me in via single sign on. Ugly experience.
 
Looks like you have to open a connected app (Like Hulu, HBO Now) Before you can connect it. I did that and it worked like a charm.
Hmm...so when I logged in to all these apps on my Apple TV the Watch Now feature now works on my iPad Pro.
 
Are you people joking? You guys are aware of the new Unicode standard, right? Also did you guys read the release notes at all?

I did and the ONLY things I want are the endless Bluetooth issues and the camera issues to be fixed. I really really really couldn't care less about an emoji standard! And I don't get the TV app or single sign in here in the UK so that's pointless too.
They should fix bugs first, then offer new features.
 
No Netflix on the TV app? Well that makes it next to useless for me.
Why not just use the Netflix app? This post makes no since. sorry.

Will this pop-up if we're already on the latest beta?
no. same build as beta 7

More emoji's - can you go any cheaper Apple? Can you?
I know right because if they added other fixes and stuff the price to update would be would be triple what it is now. and no one would purchase the update. Wait..........

With the Single Sign-On only for select providers which basically doesn't include the big ones the TV App is really one big hassle.
Dish Network and DirecTV would be considered "big ones" no?

They seem to be doing both.

Forgot to ask: why even bother saying it has new emojis? Why not just say something like "Bug fixes and other improvements" and then go into more explanation in release notes?
They point out something that's new. Does it really matter one way or another?

This update didn't fix the lag switching between apps (having to sometimes press twice to launch an app) or the lag that happens when launching the calculator app (having to press a number twice when starting a calculation just after the app opens).

My family uses Hulu and Netflix. The TV app is supposed to give you a single interface for shows/movies you are watching so you can continue them without going into the apps themselves. If Netflix isn't included, it doesn't do much good for me. Does that make sense?
 
So if we installed the previous beta (and beta 7) we don't need to do anything or is it better to do a "clean install" of the final?

You don't need to do anything, but you can do a "clean install" if you want to.

All OK on a mini 3 and an Air 1. The Air 1 had a couple "pauses" during the update that scared me, but in the end everything seems OK.

The only thing I can see with "TV" is now I have to tap 2 or 3 times to get to my stuff, instead of 1 or 2 times, so typical Apple improvements. Wish we could just have iOS Finder for everything.
