Hey all, so I experienced something very odd and I'm not quite sure what to make of this. I had finished watching something using Infuse on my Apple TV; backed out of the interface to the Home Screen; then went outside to do some yardwork. When I came inside, I found something was playing on my Apple TV with the audio muted. After watching for a moment, I realized it was Foundation. Since the audio was muted, I had minimal context for what was going on in the video, but as I grabbed the remote to back out of it, what I think were opening credits started up. After backing out, I was on my Home Screen and there was no clear reason as to why this show was playing. I had watched the first two seasons way back when first released, but quite frankly I don't care for it. The Apple TV streaming app was not open (not in the App Switcher), nor do I even subscribe to the service anymore, nor have in a long time now. I literally NEVER use that app and it's at the bottom of the screen.
I'm trying to wrap my head around what happened here. There is literally no chance I accidentally started this playing. There is no one else in my household. No one else on my wifi, nor even in my "Home" that can interact with it. My cynical take is that it was an ad, but from who? Infuse? There's no precedence for this with them. From Apple? Showing clips of their show in place of a screensaver? Given their F1 shenanigans, I'm not sure I'd put it past them now, but it just didn't feel like an ad from the little I saw. I wish I had unmuted it and watched some more to get more context before backing out. Possibly some weird bug, or heck... Infuse did just release a new version of their app. There is no chance my actual TV did something... blocked from the internet.
