Apple's TV App Expanding to Seven Countries, Starting With Canada and Australia Later This Month

Netflix and NowTV are available, although the NowTV app is bugggy and basically an Apple TV 3 app ported and never updated.
Anyway hopefully this means they’ve worked with UK networks to get their apps on the Apple TV.
Pity no news on the News app. I still don’t get why there has to be any country restrictions for an app that accesses plenty of news sites and blogs on the open web that doesn’t have any borders.
Most service providers are cross-Scandinavian, so that makes no sense at all...

TVPlayer already have an app on the Apple TV and for other iOS devices, but having it within the TV app would be an advantage.
