Unfortunately the exact same thing is happening with Apple TV right now. A really great box but they are absolutely jamming Apple TV+ down their users’ throats.

- bullfightonmars 5y agoThe Apple TV app is completely optional (and I hope it stays that way). The inly time I open it is to watch Apple TV+ shows. P.S. They made the homescreen button goback to A the Apple TV app a while ago. This behavior can be changed go make it go back to the home screen.
- snuxoll 5y agoThe TV app is the single greatest feature of the Apple TV, though. I have one list of shows I am watching (sans Netflix because they are petty, I don’t subscribe to them for more than a month at a time to binge a few shows though); multiple, even, because each person in the house has their own.
- refracture 5y agoAt least there's a setting to make the 'TV' button take you to the home screen instead of the Apple TV+ app, and unlike Roku when monitoring network traffic the Apple TV is pretty quiet when not in use, unlike the Roku that is constantly chattering with ad services... ads on the home screen.. yuck.
- CWuestefeld 5y agothe Roku that is constantly chattering with ad services This is indeed annoying. But it's easy enough to fix with pihole. That just leaves 1/3 of the home screen being wasted space.
- r00fus 5y agoHow do? I don’t notice any push to watch Apple stuff when I navigate directly to Netflix or Prime Video...
