My first impressions? They do make it easier to find and watch (and binge) the shows as well as movies you get "for free" as part of a subscription, as long as the service that unlocks those shows is supported. I've spent some time playing with the new TV app and single sign-on, Apple's newest additions to both the Apple TV box and iOS devices like the iPhone. Too bad it it doesn't support Comcast, Spectrum (formerly Time Warner Cable and Charter) or Verizon Fios. The novel companion feature allows you to discover new TV apps you're already subscribed to and activate them automatically, without entering usernames and passwords over and over.
Likewise, single sign-on is flat-out great - if your service provider is supported. (Oh, and Amazon Video, which still isn't available on the box.) Too bad it doesn't include Netflix, HBO Go, Watch ESPN, Sling TV, The Disney Channel, Nick, PBS or many others already available on Apple TV. Apple's new TV app is pretty awesome for the subscription apps it supports.
