Is there an Amazon or VUDU app for TVOS?
Plex has been rejected two times... As of now, it is on the third round of review (source: plex forum)
1. Sling
2. HBO Now
3. Hulu
4. Netflix
5. Amazon Prime.
I'll be happy.
That's too bad. Guess I'll just keep the old appletv until there's more of an incentive to upgrade. Between AirPlay, switching between HBO and showtime, Netflix and the antenna, I'm very happy to have cut the cord a few years back. I game on other systems so I don't see myself missing anything.I believe I saw Amazon say that they didn't think they were going to do an App for tvOS. Shame, we will still be using AirPlay to get Amazon Prime onto the TV.
I don't know about Zulu.

Seriously after all these years with the App Store you are concerned you will loose something, or is it a case you have never purchased anything from the app store. It is always there if you need to re-download for any reason.
At one point I had literally zip-tied my Apple TV to the top of my LCD TV. So it's not strictly /impossible/.Stop calling it a "set top box". There aren't any television sets that you can put these things on top of.
Yes I am and I don't trust the cloud.Seriously after all these years with the App Store you are concerned you will loose something, or is it a case you have never purchased anything from the app store. It is always there if you need to re-download for any reason.

Link por favor?
Do you have a link to the topic? I've been following things for a couple weeks there and have not seen any mention of these rejections. Perhaps you misinterpreted something you read ;-)Plex has been rejected two times... As of now, it is on the third round of review (source: plex forum)
Now here is a thought. Add the wireless keyboard and you basically have a computer on your TV (or an ipad equivalent at least). Let's see if Apple releases iWorks for the Apple TV. Or Safari. That would be really interesting.It's s start. App potential for this new AppleTV was its biggest appeal to me. I'm sure as time goes on awesome apps will be made for it and I'll spend more time using apps with my big TV as the display rather than my iPhone or iPad.
I think between watching TV shows on it with apps like Netflix, Hulu and HBO Now along with some games and other productivity apps, I'll be on this new AppleTV all the time.
Can anyone advise me if in the uk there will be catchup tv and freeview tv app coming to the new Apple tv.
Thanks for all your info all my questions answered in one post I'm doubting that ATV is for me.Well, iPlayer is coming: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-34660204
ITV have, apparently said "no plans" (but that's what BBC said a month ago) and no news on C4/C5.
Live Freeview via. DVB seems unlikely - it would need hardware and drivers (and I doubt Apps can include drivers), plus even 'Pause live TV' would probably need more storage than the AppleTV has, so there's not much point.
When Plex for AppleTV comes out, it may be possible to stream Freeview or recorded programs from a server*
The integrated "Freeview Play" and "YouView" services (which show that its perfectly possible to integrate all the catch-up services) seem to be tied to hardware makers at the moment. Maybe the prospect of being able to sell a Freeview Play or YouView app on a secure platform like the ATV will tempt them into releasing an App but I wouldn't hold your breath.
(* My PVR is a linux box with a quad tuner card running MythTV - I've just installed Plex media server on that, and there's a Plex plug-in that allows you to play MythTV recorded programs. I've had that working so I can watch Myth recordings on Chromecast or Airplayed from Plex on an iPad... currently the entertainment has been seeing what will work rather than watching stuff, though!)
