    Also, Netflix has the worst UI/UX on AppleTV boxes. The experience is vastly different and better on a Sony or Microsoft device in the Netflix software. It’s pretty odd imho.

      What , specifically, do you find irksome on the Netflix ATV interface?

      Only thing I dislike is the snippet/trailer autoplay. Everything else, works well for me.

        First off, and mainly UX based, different feature sets. For example the way Netflix feeds new and upcoming items, notifications etc.

        I do understand that AppleTV has just recently really solidified their decisions on how they want their controller/remote to work so that may be a factor in designing the software for the navigation across all legacy AppleTV devices. The control schemes on consoles and other media boxes have been a constant for years and years now.

        This same issue generally happens across other media streaming services. For instance, the Disney app; even slight FFWD is abominable. It’s just pickiness, however I’ll still switch over to the Roku or a console to watch anything on Disney+.
