Impact: Random shutoffs, blackouts, reboots, and failure to track watched progress on episodes/movies
From the original report
“It’s remarkably unreliable. Random shutoffs, blackouts, reboots. Also—by far—the most buggy, poorly-designed streaming app on the box is Apple’s own TV app. E.g., unlike Netflix, Kanopy, etc which remember and show a red prog indicator under every movie/episode you’ve watched, TV app knows nothing.”
