Still waiting for Sunday Ticket.![]()
Keep waiting. DirecTV has an exclusive contract through this year. Apple can't do anything about that.

Pro Wrestling? Well, okay I guess. I will take this as another indicator that Apple is building critical mass to finally release the fabled iTV (or whatever it gets called). But seriously, Pro Wrestling? Maybe just me but that is definitely a channel that I did not see as high priority for the ATV.![]()
Wow, they really need to get rid of all the WATCH text from the icons. Yuck.

I thought that was their branded name for their apps/channels. It's definitely "The Watch ESPN" app on my iphone and ipad. Not that that makes it look any better, but i think that's just what they're called.What's with all the stupid channels putting "WATCH" above the name of their channel? I'm surprised Apple allows this. I'm in marketing, so I understand the value of a strong call to action. However, we're already using Apple TV, so it's implicit that all the icons are channels that we can "WATCH". Do app icons put "OPEN" or "RUN" above their name? Do we really need to see "WATCH Disney" instead of just "Disney"?

So more stuff I would never touch on my screen. We need an App Store apple!
I would pay to not have this on my Apple TV.
Give me 10 bucks and I'll make it disappear off your Atv.![]()
I know the feeling. The success of 'professional' wrestling is puzzling to me. I'm amazed that anyone over the age of 13 likes it. But it obviously is a huge draw and makes a ton of money.
I can't think of what an app store would feature.
Easier for content providers to just make an app to access the content instead of waiting years for Apple to make one. Think of all the apps available on your iphone to access content that you can't on Apple TV.This is a serious question: What would Apple put in an app store for the Apple TV? Any time there is a story about Apple TV here a chorus of "give us an app store!" rings out, but I can't think of what an app store would feature.
Agreed that it looks ugly. I think the "watch" label is ABC/Disney family of channel's 'clever' way to let you know that you will be watching a Live TV stream, just as if you turn to the channel on your TV/cable box. This is to differentiate it from apps that are like Hulu, or something similar that offer on demand shows. In this case, the word "Live" instead of "Watch" would be more appropriate.

Can't wait for all the "wrestling is fake" comments.
We get it already.. So are all the TV shows and movies you watch.

This has bothered me from the first batch of "Watch" apps. Very un-Apple-like, aesthetically speaking.
