Had this issue for a few weeks now, when choosing the program we are watching it always goes to Season 1 Episode 1 where it used to remember where we are up to and go to the next episode. If I open the app on phone or iPad it works fine so seems to only be the Apple TV app. Have tried rebooting it. I have auto updates turned on so unsure if an app update has broken it, just wondering if anyone else having the same issue.

Yep, can confirm, mine is doing the same.

Was watching Downton Abbey, Season 6. Every time we went back in, we had to manually go and choose the season and episode. There is no visual indication (like there is on Netflix) of which episodes we had watched.

We didn't watch S1-5 on Lightbox, but did watch all of S.6, but still, there were no indicators on any of the S.6 shows that we had watched any of them. It did flick to the next episode correctly after finishing the previous one.

Yes, it does go to next episode after watching one but doesn't remember if go back to the index and then choose.

What's the best way to reach out to Lightbox to report this bug?

Awesome, thanks.

Have to say the wife and I have been using Lightbox more and more lately. We tried it out when it first launched but was disappointed by the lack of content but when we checked again a few weeks ago it had improved a lot. Lightbox certainly is welcome to escape the endless cooking/renovations reality TV that the networks keep force feeding us.

My only wish is 5.1 sound for programs that support it but realise that is a very small percentage of the market who could utilise it.

Yep, we've sorted it out in testing, and are now aligning it with a release. Date soon.
