TV App: Is there a way to hide paid content? Just want to browse stuff I have streaming subscriptions to through cable provider

[iYiy-yiy-uh]

Instead of going into each TV channel's app, is there a way to just browse only the content available through my cable provider & streaming apps and hide all the paid movies that Apple wants me to buy/rent? There's like a billion apps to go through for each channel. I just want to see the content that comes with my monthly subscriptions like on Netflix, but aggregated in 1 place.

I don't think there is, but I wish it would be separated into paid/subscribed content and unpaid/unsubscribed content. As it combines both, I don't even check what has been suggested as it's frustrating to find which ones are which without selecting first.

I'd like this too. It's what I hate most about Amazon Prime, and it's crap in the TV app too.

Also, don't show me trailers and adverts for your own programmes between episodes.

One thing you can do is restore the top area of the home screen so it no longer shows autoplaying trailers for whatever Apple decides to throw at you, and turn off autoplay system-wide.

- do this to turn off auto-play in general:

1. Launch the Settings app on your ‌Apple TV‌.
2. Select General -> Accessibility -> Motion.
3. Toggle off the switch for Auto-Play Video Previews.

- and do this to restore the top part of the screen to what's "up next" (i.e. things you're actually watching):

The other option is called Up Next. This shows you your personal queue of currently playing and next-to-watch episodes, and you can click on a title to resume where you left off right from the home screen. This is the same Up Next queue as you’d find in the TV app itself, but conveniently elevated to the home screen of the Apple TV. To change this setting:

1. Open the Settings app on the Apple TV.
2. Select “Apps”.
3. Select “TV”.
4. Scroll down to the “Home Screen” setting.
5. Click the trackpad to toggle between modes. It will be defaulted to What to Watch. Change to Up Next.

And that’s it. No more trailers for things you don’t control popping up on your Apple TV.

You are my favourite person today!

I do wish Apple would stop hiding useful settings away in Accessibility.

Accessibility is where all the best Mac/iOS/Apple TV easter eggs are hidden!
