Alongside the new MacBook Pro models today, Apple announced not new Apple TV ($100 at Amazon) hardware, but a seemingly small yet important software upgrade for the Apple TV. It's an app, simply called TV.
This new application replaces the two existing applications, Movies and TV Shows, and combines them into a single app, where you can find all your rentals and purchases. It will also let you browse for new purchases.
I have both netflix and hulu, which outlander isn't on. I don't have cable, tried using my parents DirectTV for starz play, and it didn't work since they-re not subscribed to it. Im getting desperate. Starz hits Apple TV with $8.99/month package, Twitter scores live NFL “Thursday Night Football” streams. Zac Hall - Apr. 5th 2016 7:12 am PT @apollozac. Apps & Updates. I Have an Apple TV 3 and want to use my Starz subscription but the Starz app is not available on the tv 3. No idea what starz is but I would not expect apple to keep making new features for the older appletv models which does not support user added apps. Starz is avaialable to download on the ATV4 App Store but not available.
But the more important feature of the new TV app are the Watch Now, Up Next and Recommended features. This lets you track your favorite shows across any installed streaming applications (such as Hulu, HBO, Starz, etc.) and view them all in one location. It also suggests things to watch based on popularity and curated lists.
In other words, TV makes Apple TV more like .. TV.
Unfortunately, the new TV app won't be available until sometime in December. On the bright side, you don't have to wait for similar functionality. All you need is Reelgood. To install and set up Reelgood:
- Press and hold the Siri button on the Siri remote for your Apple TV and say 'Reelgood' or open the App Store and manually search for it. (Here's an easy link for your iOS device.)
- Click Get and wait for the app to download and install.
- Click Open or find the new icon on the home screen and click to open.
- Select each of the services you want to pull content from. Reelgood currently supports FXNow, HBO, Hulu, Netflix, Showtime and Starz.
- Click Done.
- Scroll to the left and click Login/Sign up.
- Log in using your existing credentials or create a new account with an email address or using Facebook authentication.
Once the app is set up, you can view all the content from all your favorite streaming sources in a single app. You can also view the trailers for movies, which isn't a standard feature for all the streaming services. Clicking Play Jamie foxx fall for your type download. will open the movie or show in the streaming app it's offered in, which is indicated by a small icon along the right side of the screen.
The UI is very intuitive and easy to navigate. At the top of the home page, you can switch between Movies and TV Series. Both sections have several categories, each with horizontal lists of shows and movies that you can scroll through. It's a familiar interface that makes Reelgood feel very natural to use.
Under the Movies section, you can add movies you want to see to your Watchlist or those you've already seen to your Seenlist. Under TV Series, you can add television shows to the Shows you watch. Doing this will put the movies and TV shows you want to see front and center when you open the app. It won't, however, add those shows or movies to your watchlists within each app -- this only builds your Watchlist for Reelgood. Items added to your Seenlist will be available at the very bottom of the Reelgood app home screen.
The one feature that seems like it would be important for a service like this is search. But that's completely missing from Reelgood. The upshot is that you can already search for shows and movies with Siri. If they're available for streaming in an app that is installed, you can opt to open the show or movie in the streaming app instead of purchasing from iTunes.
Reelgood is missing some of the pizazz of the official TV app, particularly in the ability to discover new streaming services that a user doesn't already have installed and view their existing purchases or rentals from iTunes from within the app. But until the official TV app arrives, Reelgood is certainly the best alternative for finding things to watch without endless switching between streaming apps.

App Review, Not Content (device iPad Pro)
First, the app content is good.
My issue/frustration is with the functionality of the app itself. My biggest pain point (and it’s a big one for me) is that the app times out quickly and the video closes, especially whenever my iPad screen times out. So, say I hit Pause on a video for more than a minute or two and/or step away from my iPad long enough for the screen to lock, when I return, I have to reopen STARZ, and re-navigate to the video I was watching from the STARZ home screen. This also occurs when I switch between apps. Whenever STARZ is temporarily moved to the background, I have to search all over again. This is the only app I’ve encountered that does this, making it especially noticeable. Also, other apps have the PIP “drawer” functionality where you can slide a video off screen and return to it. This is not the case in STARZ.. the video disappears, and again, if it has been a significant amount of time, I have to re-navigate back.
It’d be nice to have quicker access to the main menus, and to time out on the active content’s description screen (but keep the video window open if in PIP mode).

Developer Response,
Thank you for your great feedback. We will take it into consideration for future enhancements.
App doesn’t allow you to do anything
Just downloaded this app signed up and signed in to there site with my direct tv subscription and everything seemed fine until I tried to press the play button it did nothing it’s almost like someone is playing a joke on you it’s good for two things. First thing you can view a huge catalog of shows that starz would allow you to watch if you find out how to play the video (probably just a glitch but I’m on the newest iPad Pro on the latest software and everything). The second thing this app is good for is sharing the videos that your not able to play to people who know about what ever secret play button that’s obviously just hidden really hope they can fix this I’ve never had a problem with any other streaming service maybe there just not ready to roll with the big dogs maybe Netflix will sent you the way of blockbuster and we can hear about you in museums in another 50 years
Developer Response,
Thank you for your feedback and enthusiasm for STARZ. We have addressed many issues with the latest release 3.11.0. Please update to the latest version and lets us know how it goes.
Outlander
The chemistry between Jamie and Claire is incredible. I enjoy watching all of the characters develop. We delight with Rupert, Angus, and Murtagh. I think John Bell is a fine, young actor with a promising future. Like others, I liked John Randall but not Black Jack Randall. I also understand why Sam and Catriona have won awards. Jamie puts his whole heart and soul into his role. Catriona is gorgeous, and Jamie is ever so handsome, charming, and debonair. In a way, they have both lost children. They lost Faith. Did not get to raise Brianna together, and now Jamie sees William, but can’t tell him who he really is. I am reading the books and certainly will continue watching the series. I like the music and am learning some history too. I don’t look forward to it ending. The author, directors, set and costume designers, the way they worked on Ian’s leg and Colum’s legs, camera operators, musical arrangers, and anyone else affiliated with Outlander can be extremely proud of their quality work. The series is addictive and mesmerizing.
