I am interested in getting an apple tv box, and I am wanting to see what apps are available before I purchase one. Is there a place where I can go look at whats available on the system before I purchase one?
 
I'm in Canada and use my iPad to see which apps are available for CA accounts. I also have a USA Apple ID and run CA and USA apps side-by-side on my ATV.

I recommend searching for the apps you want before making a purchase.

The tvOS App Store, and specifically app discovery is horrible on tvOS, and is probably the worse thing about the Apple TV.

What kind of apps in general are you looking for? I seen a list of Apple TV apps a year or more ago but can't locate it now. This might be a dumb question but do you know anyone with an apple tv or anyone that knows anyone, whew that was a lot, lol.
I would think that the only ones that might be an issue would be broadcasting ones. Heck, I'm hoping to find a list.

That's mainly what I am looking for. I want to know if the apps I use on my firestick and roku are available on the Atv. TSN, river tv, Sportsnet etc. Mainly network stuff.

There really isn't a proper way to view the TVOS APP store, the best way is to go to the network stuff websites and see if they advertise Apple TV APPS for their streaming services.
