When did the Apple TV Home Screen or landing page (not sure what to call it) stop playing previews of Apple Movies and TV Shows?

When you had the Apple TV icon in the first row highlighted it use to show different Movie and TV show previews unless you swiped and it would go full screen and let you view the full previews etc.

Suddenly that's gone and I have not been able to read why or find out why? The Apple TV app simply displays the Apple Logo on a generic background. (see screen shots) The other apps on the first row still show previews. If you tap into the Apple TV app they show like normal.

Interesting, I have 3 ATV's and they all do it, I checked my neighbors and their ATV's are like mine with no preview video and I checked family member who live in a different City. Theirs also does not show the preview anymore.

The all have the generic screen with the Apple Logo like in the screen shot.
 
Ok so have done some checking and I’d say the issue seems to be on the US side as with my UK account on both of my Apple TV’s the video previews work without issue, but with my US account it’s just the Apple TV logo.
