Dr. Dre's 'Vital Signs' TV Show Will Be Used to Promote Apple Music

Jesus, this Idea is sounding worse and worse.

How much cash do apple have? They should just buy time warner or something. and rename it Apple Entertainment lol

But seriously, Apple just need to concentrate on the OS and let the developers and outside companies deliver the content.

Thanks for letting everyone know!
Over 10 million people are. Hopefully they don't all post here to let us know their preference!

Do you have any ideas on what you want to see? Im just a simple man, but I think that the interface is nice and I enjoy using it. I couldnt think of any way to "fix" it, but I am really interested in hearing your view.

I swear people just reflexively show up in threads and ask Apple to fix X before doing Y. I use TV quite a bit and while I think there's a lot of interesting things they could do interface wise it's pretty dead simple to find the content I'm looking for and play it.

Most likely they're just footing the bill for this so it can be branded as an Music exclusive.

Honestly, Apple has no business buying Disney. They should focus on their products and software.

I, as a Disney enthusiast, feel like I'm happy where Disney is under Iger's guidance. I don't want Apple screwing with it.

Also, no one wants to buy into the sinking ESPN ship, unless Apple thinks they can honestly fix it.

Your reply is actually just an irrelevant as his.

Actually, any reply here is pretty much irrelevant...because its just a bunch of whiny Apple fanboys talking about random ****!

Cheer up! :cool:

Worst thing about the new Apple TV is that useless USB-C port... should allow you to hook up an external drive to it and playback files natively without having to keep a whole computer running just to access local media.

That's the worst thing? I guess this is more of an opinion thing, but I would not even consider that in the top ten worst things about the new ATV4.

I am not minimizing your concern, I just feel like there are many other things wrong.

I am not speaking for the op, but I also found the new ATV4 lacking. There are many threads of the deficiencies, but if I could point out one simple thing, in Apple's press release Apple called the ATV4 "revolutionary".

While there has been a few products that Apple released that I would call revolutionary, the ATV4 is far from it.

I wish it was revolutionary.

I'm honestly curious what's bugging you about it. My last complaint is being addressed in the next update with dictation for text fields. Otherwise, I feel like it's the best product Apple has released in a long time.

I feel the same.

Just seeing the name Beats or Dr. DRE is repulsive.

To think Apple's in bed with the Hip Hop mogul is even more hideous.

What respect I held for Apple, they've destroyed.

They lost mine when they completely bollocksed OS X by ramming iOS features down our throat into a desktop environment. Not to mention how awful of a job they did with the new Mac Pro.

Still needs that USB-C port be put to actual use though. Why do I have to keep a whole computer running, draining electricity and creating heat just to get local file playback on the Apple TV? Especially since they put the port into the device, BUT DONT LET YOU USE IT.

That is BONEHEADED by Apple.

Of course they called it "revolutionary".
Sounds a lot better than "this is a mediocre incremental update to ATV3".
They have a product they want to sell. Of course they are gonna hype it.
If you are dissatisfied and brought into their hype machine then it's shame on you for not digging deeper.
 
Ah yes, because promoting a music service through a TV show has been successful :)

No thank you. Already hungry for that UI from iPod Video 5.5. Makes you wonder how Apple could have ****ed up so much up to this point.

If this is all about music, why not a U2 show? It's everyone's favorite band, isn't it.​

What's wrong with ESPN? You mean the network that has a virtual monopoly on sports broadcasting?

ESPN is dying. They've lost 7 million subscribers in the last 5 years.

"a virtual monopoly on sports broadcasting casting."
You can't be serious.
The three major networks sports, Fox sports 1&2, NFL, NHL and MLB networks
all the regional NCAA networks, Golf channel, Sports South, BBC...
