This may seem like a very basic question but since getting my new 4th gen ATV I cannot figure out how to bring up a show/movie synopsis while viewing the content.

On the 3rd gen I used to be able to click up on the pad remote to bring up a summary in Netflix, etc but cannot find the equivalent with the new Siri remote.

I've been clicking the menu button while watching a show to go back to the series & episode listing but this is not only clunky but also takes me out of the play screen.

Swiping down only brings up audio and subtitle options. I heard that simply clicking the touch pad works but that does nothing but pause the video for me.

Can anyone help me out with what I hope is an easy remote command that I'm missing? If not, this simple but necessary functionality needs to be added ASAP. (I was hoping to see it in today's 9.01 update but no luck)


Thanks in advance for your help.
