Apple TV+
Since I purchased a new iPhone, I got one year free access to Apple TV+. I've got to say the interface (through Roku) is very klunky, and there's not very much original content there right now. But "the Morning Show" and "For All Mankind" are better than I expected and worth the time if you have access.

Really? For All Mankind looked like a giant SJW/Gurl Power wet dream to me. Confused

I loathe streaming due to the audio compression. 86’d on this deal. Maybe if they make it like cable/satellite with full channels, menu guide, and fix the compression that plagues every streaming service in existence.

I have a Apple TV box and it seems to work just fine for me - I probably watch 95% of everything off the Apple platform and am thinking about getting rid of Dish

Yeah, it started out pretty good but it's morphed into that girly thing you describe.

There are some articles that point out the service is using a 20+Mbps with audio at 384Kbps. Same rate as a HD Blu-ray or half of a UHD Blu-ray data rate.

The content that I have been watching on my Samsung 4K seems to be outstanding quality and no pixelation.
