Apple TV keeps getting better and better. With the tvOS update, Siri can now search for specific topics. Single sign-on simplifies access to entertainment apps like HBO GO and FXNOW. You can even control the house lights and adjust your thermostat right from your TV.
Coming soonHave a good idea of what you want to watch? With the new tvOS, Siri not only lets you search for a specific topic, it allows you to combine multiple criteria in the same search. For example, ask Siri to “Show me movies about elections.” Just say the words.
“Show me movies about time travel”
“Show me boxing movies from the 1980s”
“Find documentaries about architecture”
Now when you enter your cable or satellite subscription credentials on Apple TV, you get immediate access to all the apps in your pay TV package that support single sign-on. So you authenticate once and you’re done. Cue the applause sign.
