When Apple rolled out tvOS 10 in September (http://www.macworld.com/article/3120985/streaming-media/no-matter-the-setback-apple-continues-to-wedge-its-way-in-to-the-tv-market.html) we couldn’t help but notice that single sign-on (http://www.macworld.com/article/3083886/home-players/tvos-10-faq-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-next-apple-tv-update.html)—a feature that lets you enter your cable provider details once and then use them across multiple apps—didn’t make the cut. Apple promised that the new feature would land on Apple TV in December, and recently the company made good on its word.</p><p>
As first noticed by MacRumors (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/12/06/single-sign-on-service-now-live/), single sign-on is now available on the fourth-generation Apple TV and iOS 10 devices. The feature is only available for U.S. users, which is where the bulk of cable provider hassles exist anyway. At launch, only 10 cable providers support single sign-on including CenturyLink Prism, DirecTV, Dish, GVTC, GVA, Hawaiian Telecom, Hotwire, MetroCast, and Sling.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3148185/home-tech/apples-single-sign-on-for-apple-tv-and-ios-is-live.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
