Apple revamps its TV app ahead of streaming service launch

- Apple Inc on Monday rolled out a new television-watching app for its devices and some Internet-connected TVs, an effort to gain more revenue from reselling other companies’ programming and, later this year, its own original shows.

Available in more than 100 markets, Apple’s new app pulls many of those services together to show viewers where they can watch live or on-demand movies, TV shows, news and sports via a single search, or through personalized recommendations. Apple officials would not comment on the economics of the channels, but people familiar with the matter said Apple will take a cut of the subscription fees when customers use the Apple TV app to sign up for a channel.

Apple’s television app will also aim to let users search for a show across multiple services in one shot, including by using Siri, the company’s voice assistant. The app will make recommendations based on a mix of curation by human editors and a viewer’s watching habits.

Great!

发布新流媒体服务之前苹果更新了电视应用

need to get a better remote than that POS ...app is fine. But remote is brutal.. how about a L/R & up/down button😥

Will they ever achieve the simplicity of my 1960 black-and-white TV with a dial to select which of the three local stations to watch?

Way too expensive and difficult to set up. I moved to Chromecast.

just watch the app instead

Though I've developed over the years the ability to tune out commercials. I can see and hear a commercial a hundred times and still have no idea what they are selling. d_arkin But they are wrong. Commercials are dreadful. Most people would pay to be rid of them. d_arkin Definitely true for the majority of people who don't have money to spend on entertainment.
