I would actually like it if they allowed live streaming services to fully integrate into the TV app. I use Xfinity Stream and Sling (sometimes) and the user interfaces leave a lot to be desired. I’d like it better if the TV app had a “Live TV” tab or something where all the live channels you get from your live streaming providers were shown and watchable directly in the TV app…kind of like how you can view certain Channels in the TV app but also in their own standalone apps if you prefer. It would make it a lot easier to navigate between Apple TV content and live streaming content for the non-tech savvy in my family, too, and would replace the old clunky cable box for my parents.
Edited to add that I’d like the option, too, of accessing third party content and apps like Disney+, Netflix, Hulu, HBO, etc through Channels on the TV app. I use Channels all the time for BritBox, BBC Select, The Great Courses, etc and it’s very slick. I would honestly probably watch more content from those third party apps if they had tighter integration with the TV app since I often forget to look in those other apps for new things to watch. Of course, like the Channels I mentioned above, these services would still have their own separate apps downloadable from the App Store for people who prefer to watch them that way. Basically, having everything in one place would be so much easier for me and my family to navigate everything.
While I’m on my soapbox, I really wish they’d bring back the old TV app icon. It matches the rest of the Apple app icons so much better and would help differentiate between the app itself and the TV+ streaming service.
