I know Apple TV 3 supports signing into multiple Apple ID's at the same time, but the only bad part is the Home screen updates and any country specific one like Hulu dissapear..

Since the new Apple TV 4 support app downloads, i assume the Apple TV 4 still supports multiiple Apple ID's, but since u can download apps, does that mean you can install apps from different countries from the different Apple ID's and they'll co-exist all on the Home screen, unlike the 3rd gen where U.S only ones will vanish.

Can anyone confirm? As switching Apple ID's will be a major pain.

Yes, I have apps from the UK and US stores on my Apple TV. Once the apps are installed from their respective stores you wont need to switch IDs.

This is really useful to know, I assumed I'd have to switch Apple IDs so hadn't bothered going for US content - on the FireStick if I switch to my wife's account all my apps disappear :(
