I've been using Plex Connect all day today, despite the new apps. What difference would they make?
Is it still working? If you go out to main menu or sleep or reboot it breaks I think.

Yes vevo!! Thanks Apple!
Am I the only one that is pissed that Vevo is censored? The first thing I tried to play said:
"Content Blocked" "You are attempting to access explicit content which is blocked on this device"
I was so excited about the Vevo app!!! WHY!!!
After browsing these forums for years I finally signed up just to voice my discontent about this situation. There are parental controls on the Apple TV why can't they use those instead of automatically censoring the content for everyone?
Go to settings in the vevo app, and click allow explicit content.
I'm less interested in an AppleTV "app store" and more interested in seeing if adding these "authentication required" channels is just a step toward making the same channels(and more to come, I hope) available as direct subscriptions without an associated cable account in the future.
A testing ground, if you will, that, if their revenues could remain the same or increase, might convince them to no longer enter into exclusive contracts with the cable/sat operators, and that may finally open everything up widely, to a true competitive television marketplace, where others like Apple could come in and compete on a level playing field, with their own distribution models.
What doesn't make sense to me is that if we have to have cable in order to view some of this content, like the new Disney Channels and HBO, then why would I even bother watching it through the AppleTV over just watching it directly on my TV through the cable box. We're adding an unnecessary middle-man.
Why wouldn't Amazon Prime go for Atv if you have a subscription? Just curious; I'm really not familiar with the issues involved.
I'd love to see apps on the atv too.
I have a feeling that Apple TV will be updated at this Media event on Sep 10 and maybe Apple will surprise us with something like: full iOS 7 on Apple TV come with 32GB standard from current 8GB. Now that is a real kick in the ass for Sony PS4 and Xbox One. Can you imagine a top box media streaming Apple TV is also a game console which uses idevices as controllers or MFI game controllers. It's a total media center which is affordable to everyone. Who wants a $500 dedicated console anymore?
All the sudden, everything makes sense for all the activities lately related to Apple TV: TV content provider negotiations, iRadio, Record labels, game controller hardware, and the only puzzle left in this is: full iOS to take advantage of iOS games and larger storage for iOS games. This is what Apple should have done for Apple TV and now is the right time for it. iOS Game Center for Apple TV is a card that Apple haven't played yet against PS4 and Xbox One online contents. If this's true, Apple once again rock the (gaming) world with its iOS ecosystem, Apple TV.
Yeah, because the Billions of people who live outside US/Canada don't have *any* of their own TV channels.![]()
Sports are really expensive. If you are a sports fan you can only hope and pray that the subsidy from all the other cable subscribers continues on forever. For the rest of us, though (and for those who only have a few sports they follow), direct pricing is a reality now, and it is really cheap compared to cable.
