The problem is that each app is essentially its own walled garden.
To see what’s available to watch, you have to open apps individually and have a look around.
Streaming providers have zero incentive to address the matter (and rightfully so).

The box and its accompanying remote control are clad in modern white with a splash of blue.

The addition of Netflix as a ribbon stream alongside OTA channels in the main interface is great.
Everything was buttery smooth as it should be.
