Will the Now TV app for Apple TV ever get an update?
The current version is complete rubbish and makes me regret ever getting a Now TV pass.
Unless there is an update my Now TV experience will be very short indeed.

@nst I see it as the countdown to beta expiry and yet (possibly) another failure to launch 😞

Does the new version (the beta) work with apple top shelf as everything else does, that would be so cool for shows in motion.
(sorry if this has been answered before)

Depends what you mean by top shelf.
Im assuming you are referring to an app that is installed in the top line... or 'dock' on TVOS..
Apps in the dock can show more content above the dock when selected - Netflix shoes up next etc.
In the case of the new NowTV app... I have this in my dock, and its something I fed back to the development team very early on... asking whether it could show the watch next or watchlist details when selected.
However, as has been the case with the beta trial, I have not had an acknowledgement of that request nor has it appeared to be changed in the 2 subsequent beta builds.
As it stands, there is no point having the NowTV app in the dock as it doesnt show additional information.
This functionality is not TV integration nor is it Boost of course - and those are the only 2 things that I understand we should expect that are not visible in the betas.
The app is imperfect.. and should receive further updates over time once released... and not left to fester like the last version was. That being said... hopefully they just get on and actually release it at some point warts and all.... and then we can go from there.

I suspect Now have stopped all upgrades for good. Just bug fixes.
