The new Apple TV update is no friend to cord cutters<article>
<section class="page">
<p>Apple TV received a major update this week, but cord cutters aren’t its target audience. The latest version of tvOS includes a new “TV” app that pulls together videos from across dozens of other video apps, including Hulu, ABC, and Comedy Central. Think of it as a modern take on the TV guide, letting you browse through movies and TV shows without having to bounce between apps.</p><p>Apple clearly sees the TV app as the interface of the future for Apple TV. But right now, it doesn’t support enough video sources, especially if you don’t have a cable TV login.</p><h2>No free ride</h2>
<p>With the new version of tvOS, Apple has changed the default behavior of the Siri remote. Pressing the home button now takes you straight into the TV app—from now on I’ll just call it “TV”—and you must press the button a second time to reach the old home screen. (You can make the home button go back to the home screen by visiting
Settings > Remotes and Devices, and clicking
Home Button to switch from
TV App to
Home Screen.)</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3150129/home-theater/the-new-apple-tv-update-is-no-friend-to-cord-cutters.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
