At least the Apple Tv has folders to put crap in, try using the Firetv holy crap what a frustrating experience, I am considering buying another Appletv to connect to that TV
They want people to know the apps are going away so they will likely leave them there for a while. People would freak out if they turned on the Apple TV and they were gone.
This update is horrible!! Are they trying to kill the concept of a “main page” for movies and TV shows? because it’s become impossible to find now. People want a main page! Do Apple’s UX designers on this project even own a TV? Seems like they’re designing for a product they don’t even use! Terrible update!
This update appears to break DNS profiles (such as AdGuard DNS or NextDNS), and also forces the use of Apple DNS, unless there's a hidden option to disable it that I missed. I was able to block Apple DNS on my router so it now uses the router DNS stipulated through DHCP, though I still can't get an AdGuard DNS profile to work.
Not a fan of the new Apple TV app design plus it has an issue of displaying different versions of the same movie which did not exist in the old one.
For example: Spider-Man No Way Home Extended Edition. The old Apple TV app has two options to buy the two different versions, while the iTunes app shows them as different movies. In the beta I could still see the Extended Edition via iTunes, but now it's not available in anyway.

That non-removable MLS Season Pass section pisses me off.
Yes, I had to google what it even was!
I have no idea why this is even showing us here in Europe. That Apple TV is becoming so cluttered now and so full of things for sale. Very un-Apple!
This update has broken my 4K Apple TV, I have two store accounts, one USA and one UK and it can no longer switch between them, I have lost access to all my movies and TV shows in my UK account, it's a mess, showing the UK store in US dollars and just black bricks all over the screen now - utterly broken and tried rebooting, changing accounts etc, it's junked it
But they could still let you manually delete them.
Until then I’ll place them in folder of things that used to be good, along with the Trailers app.
Exactly! You can't tell if the movie features you are seeing is for a streaming app or for the Store version of that movie either. For instance, I was trying to buy the newly released James Cameron movies, but the Aliens movie was showing as HD and no HDR! The whole point of the remasters of these movies was to watch them in 4K Dolby Vision. So I didn't buy because of that.
It's pretty incredible Apple didn't realize this before releasing this update.
tvOS doesn't let you remove system apps. AFAIK, they can remotely hide them with a server side switch but I'm not sure they will do it. I wouldn't be surprised if they leave them until tvos 18.
Okay, important question:
How do I permanently remove the MLS Season Pass app from the sidebar?
I enjoyed Ted Lasso, but I do not watch soccer. I will never watch soccer. That icon is taking up valuable real estate on that sidebar.
In fact, how do I remove all MLS content entirely?
There must be a way.
Please tell me there is a way.
