Third-generation Apple TV to lose CBS All Access support in March
I did the exact same...docbburk said:I wanted to wait till a new model was introduced, but caved and bought a 4K around Black Friday. Apple is good at waiting just long enough for holdouts to buy a new model, before introducing their latest Apple TV. I wouldn’t be surprised if they introduce one in Sept that uses the processor from iPhone 12, and has some new awesome capability.Still hoping for a new model though...

Apple TV+ ranks low in streaming industry surveys despite market boom
Even though Netflix has way more content. No way I can justify $17.99 per month for 4K content and multiple streams. That’s madness and not worthy of comparison to Apple TV+ at $4.99 per month.spice-boy said:I have to say the show's I've "watched" were well written, and overall quality shows. Having said that, compare the depth of variety other platforms offer ATV+ might not be worth a steady subscription at least for me. When my trial ends, that will be it for me.

Apple TV+ ranks low in streaming industry surveys despite market boom
Useless remote - why is this a constant refrain? What’s your issue with it?anantksundaram said:Despite a couple of serious hits and lots of brand name stars, AppleTV+ is, by-and-large, a mediocre offering thus far. Doesn't come close to a Netflix or a Disney.The useless Apple remote doesn't help. Most average users I know get completely turned off by the silly thing, since content discovery sucks.Everyone in my family love the remote and find it completely intuitive.As far as programming, we subscribe to ATV+ through the bundle (best bang for the buck) and I absolutely love the quality of most shows. The family - not so much...Wife only watches broadcast television, TV land, and Bravo. The kids, 14 and 9, are on tic tok, play station and, ESPN respectively.Disney+ - We have just renewed a year long subscription because it’s cheep. Kids don’t watch it though, and let’s face it, other than the mandalorian, what new content does it have? we’ve already seen everything...HBOMax - free through home broadband package- otherwise would not subscribe. Also would get it free through our mobile phone plan - so there’s that...Amazon Prime - Free through Amazon yearly subscription - otherwise would not subscribe. Though I do most of my other than AT+ streaming here because I love the foreign offerings...Netflix - it is not worth the $ they’re asking; So we only subscribe if there’s something that has the interest of the entire family. Haven’t had Netflix in well over a year...Peacock - free tier - Nothing worth watching.
