False.
Others in this thread have already spoken about getting ads for Peacock, Disney+ and Hulu even though they don’t have the services installed, let alone in the app bar.
Today I tried to continue watching a show I’ve been watching for a month and Apple wanted me to pay money just because it’s on Netflix. No mention whatsoever that it’s on Netflix or even a banner to read “content from other services may not appear in this app”.
Sure I can check Netflix separately, but that means that if I want to use the most popular streaming service in the world on this device reliably then I no longer have a universal search feature.
It’s crazy that the experience is this bad and no-one is willing to point it out.
- jbluepolarbear 5y agoI don’t have this experience and I’ve pointed out you can tailor your experience in tvOS. Ads are pulled from the app highlighted. If you put apps on the home bar that aren’t the tv app, App Store, iTunes, iMovie, etc you won’t get ads. How is that so hard to understand?
- headmelted 5y agoPlease see posts above and elsewhere in the thread. Services are advertised regardless of what’s in the App Bar. Shows are advertised on services that aren’t even installed, even if they’re on Netflix and Netflix is installed. Movies that are on Netflix are shown as iTunes rentals for additional fees, with no message to the user that they can watch it on Netflix. I asked if you know of a toggle to switch these of, I’ve been unable to find anything to suggest such an option exists either on my device or via Google. I like a lot of what they make, but tvOS is just bad in it’s current state.
