Apple Releases tvOS 11 With Home Screen Syncing, Auto Dark Mode, and 4K Support for New Apple TV

AirPlay 2 has not yet been implemented, it was deleted from iOS 11 beta 5 and will be coming to a future update of iOS 11. They may be giving hardware makers time to update their firmware to be compatible? (I was wondering why I could not find any support articles on this on apple's support site.)

"At present, not only is Messages in iCloud not fully implemented, but Apple Pay Cash and AirPlay 2 appear to be missing as well."

Home Sharing is amazing. Such a great update for it!

The Dark Mode is not as dark as before.. I liked it better earlier. Not sure why they changed that.

So has anyone seen the live news or live sports section yet? Anything I need to do to activate it? It asked if I wanted to sign in with my Sony Vue account which I said yes but the TV app seems the same...

Live sports and stuff isn't out yet either (from what I have heard and I cannot see any live updates)

All looks about the same to me on my 4th Gen. I have kept Dark Mode as is (no switching) the fonts are a touch bolder throughout. There is some new bold setting (I am not using). I like the tap/touch the remote once for time watched and time left on the video. Touch a second time while still showing the first on-screen time graphic and you will see the current time and the time the video will end.
