Coming up next on Apple TV

Glenn and Susie could talk about TV all day, well, all week if we’re allowed to mix in quotes from The Simpsons. So this week, we sink our teeth into Apple TV news. Apple’s new Apple TV Remote app is pretty great, but the volume controls might not work if you aren’t using HDMI-CEC. Apple still hasn’t been able to close the deals for its long-rumored streaming service, and the company is reportedly pivoting to a TV Guide-like app to at least make the fragmented world of Apple TV apps a little easier to channel-surf. Speaking of apps, no more free Hulu—but is it worth paying for?
