  • I’d normally agree and blame the TV. I didn’t pick this TV, but compared to the ShitBox we had before it’s been surprisingly good.

    I’m no fan of smart TVs in general, and I expect their life is limited. My TV is as new as the latest game consoles, but admittedly without the same level of update support. Regardless, every other streaming app we use doesn’t have anywhere near the fundamental issues that we’re having with the AppleTV app.


  • What’s up Blue Steel (Zoolander reference for anyone who doesn’t get it)! Thanks for replying. I expected that something was really off with my experience.

    I’d normally agree that the TV is probably the issue, but the thing is every other service we use on it works fine, or at least at an acceptable or minimum expected level. This includes Netflix (Bandersnatch included), Hulu, Amazon Prime Video (some dumb CC language setting issues though), Tubi, Pluto, Twitch, Plex, Sling, Peacock, Vudu, Disney+, Crackle, freevee, YouTube (too many ads yuk), Fubo, RokuTV.

    I don’t want to rag on AppleTV so much, but it’s grossly incompetent amongst its “competition” on my relatively new TV. Maybe the content is worth it, but the app sure doesn’t make engagement happen in my house.

    Sorry. I realize I’m mostly venting my frustrations and there isn’t a real answer for my issues. FWIW I’ve been struggling my way through an Apple show (Invasion) the last few days and I’m more excited to be done with using AppleTV than what happens in the show and that saddens me.
