does anyone find the ten play app useless not all the shows on ten are on t tenplay.its annoying like to watch cbs this morning and the talk at night both on ten yet not on ten play. its a joke .Iview is still the best and the easiest to navigate no iview no apple tv for me
I’m about to buy an Apple TV. What advantages do TV Network Apps have for viewers? Can anyone shred some light? I currently watch ABC iview for example on my Smart TV.
It must be available on the new ATV4 only, as my ATV3 doesn’t have the app.
I gave Plus7 on Apple TV4 a run the other night and it’s awful ! Complete lack of organisation of titles by category or show. Adverts appear to be in HD while the shows are SD the adverts buffer while the shows does not.
So not only do you have the pain of sitting through the ad but first you have to wait for it to load. Which brings me to the actual advertising content which is repeated so you get the same 3-4 ads over and over again. Oh and then you get 3/4s the way through the show to your 5th or so ad break and it freezers yep no way to restart it so you exit select the show and start again and guess what there’s no way to resume where you were up to or to ffwd through the show to that point.
Totally awful app !
If Plus7 want to see how to do a streaming app right they should take a look at the SBS one it’s a thing of great beauty perfectly implemented
I just checked on my ATV3 and it doesn’t appear to be there.I wonder do they have any plans to put it on the older versions of apple tv?
I wonder if Live TV will stream as well?
Still no iview unfortunately.
Having downloaded the app I can tell you it is full of bugs & still needs a lot of work done on it.
SBN OnDemand also launched as well. Both very impressive! Now where is ABC iView, the aunty of all catchup?
Plus 7 is nice to have I suppose, but hardly vital. The commercial’s catch-up services are so limited and wonky they’re hardly worth the effort most of the time.
However, I noticed just last night that SBS on Demand is now available from the new Apple TV app store. Finally! Now that’s going to be really useful.
C’mon iView, we’re waiting for you…
They to develop Chromecast functionality. Most people watch catch up TV on a TV so make it as easy as possible for viewers.
