Yep I see it there on my ATV3. Still requires a DNS to stream some stuff.

Will be interesting to see how Amazon Prime goes here. I've downloaded it and had a look around - pretty light on content. Certainly far behind Netflix or even Neon or Lightbox in terms of offerings. Maybe that will improve but other than headlining with the Grand Tour, American Gods and The Man in the High Castle it all seems a bit second-rate and thin. Also, its a really weird app on the Apple TV - they seem to have designed it to avoid all the usual Apple TV IA rules.

Suspect I might not keep it beyond the free trial week but certainly interesting to check it out.

I think if you set up a US bound DNS you should see lots more. I use Amazon Prime via my Fire TV with DNS and that's my main streamer service. Way more than NF, Lightbox .

Yup, am sure there will be more on the US Service but I'm talking about what is available here without doing that. Its pretty bad c.f. NZ Netflix, Neon or Lightbox.
