I wished the TV app was more family/multi-user friendly on the tvOS.
It is basically useless on a family TV.

I also pay for it and that's what annoys me.
Once i pay for my TV package i should be able to access that content however i want.
If you want, you can have the old Videos app as well. Just pull down on the iPhone screen, search for 'Videos' and scroll down to the app search area, then follow the link. It doesn't show up on a app store search, but does on an iPhone search (and presumably iPad)
well this is unexpected
(I rebooted phone then near-immediately deleted videos app, then went to redownload. TV app appeared while Videos was downloading)

Given Sky own NowTV you'd think they would be working toward some sort of subscriber access - which would also replace their pitiful attempt at iOS apps!
Has Virgin any plans to get in on the game?
My library contains half a dozen rubbish TV programs and films I downloaded about 6 years ago. Even though they on not on my device anymore they continue to display in the library.
Is there ANYWAY to remove all reference to them or does Apple forbid me to do this on my own device!

I ditched Sky a year ago after the never-ending price hikes and having to have a pointless landline. I moved to Freesat and have been really happy with the functionality and features available through the Humax box. However, it could do with a few refinements and more HD channels! Maybe eventually they too will allow access through the TV app?
I'd love the new Virgin V6 box but they're a year off on installing fibre optic cable here...
I've got a 65" LG 4K HDR OLED TV.
Is the upgrade from previous gen to Apple TV 4K HDR worth it? Is it a big difference?

It’s appeared on my Apple TV 4K in my living room but hasn’t appeared on the 4th gen in my bedroom, nothing on iOS yet

if I follow link it opens in App Store but I get "This app requires specific features not on this device" iPad mini 4
the only reason i have stayed with Sky is because i watch a lot of sports so i need sky sports.
That and the missus would kill me if i ever cancelled it!
I'll often just browse the infinite pages of movie categories within the TV app. It shows me titles that are available in all of the services I am plugged into and it does show me Netflix options. It appears that the Netflix Originals just won't show up nor do Netflix titles appear in Up Next.
But that's fine for me. Having their titles appear in the category sections works perfectly fine for me.
yet I put iPad into DFU mode did a restore and it showed up but still get message following link.
Strange i got that when trying to reinstall the Video app but the only issue i had with installing the TV app was that it kept redirecting me to the US app store the first couple of attempts.
Just tried to force touch on the videos app and it gave me a widget to add continue playing.....never tried that before and don’t think it has done it
I have it on my AppleTV 4K but my iPad Pro (9.7") shows the old video app.
My iPhone X though hasn't got the TV app BUT the video isn't labelled "Videos" and is darker than is could be, it is inoperable.
Anyone wanting to speed up the process just click this link which will change you to the US store temporarily and brings you the TV app https://cash.me
