Apologies that this isn't part of tvOS, but I can't believe Apple is sticking with its new onscreen-menu design for the :apple:TV app, with captioning and audio options popping up adjacent to the timeline instead of dropping down from the top. It's impossible to navigate between using the menu and scrubbing—plus we really don't want a different GUI than every other app's. Give it up, Apple.

After using my AppleTV, for at least 15 minutes with AirPod Pro, audio would become out of sync. It looks like this has been fixed withe tvOS 15.1

It’s funny, because people spend more time on Apple TV than all the other Apple products combined yet it gets the least attention. There’s SO much they could do with the interface, imagine it zooms out from whatever your watching to show a live version of all moving channels then you could hover over each to zoom in a little to het audio the zoom all the way in when you select it… stuff like that. It could be so awesome and it stead it’s so boring.
