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.

The app is ‘loosely’ universal I suspect, had updates in the past on the phone in morning not until evening was it available on the Apple TV or a few days later. Strange bit of rebranding but it might have something to do with them pushing peacock to the U.K. but possibly under the name ‘Now’ instead as NBC isn’t very well known here in the U.K.

My point being if it IS universal then it would have been updated with the iOS and IPADOS versions as they are one and the same. It can't be on a different version if universal.
I have noticed, however, that TVOS updates apps in its own sweet time... and you can't really check for updates there as you can on the iPhone.
So if TVOS isn't updates just yet thats understandable but will update automatically in the next day if its universal.
If it isn't, then it wont. and the app will begin to stagnate quickly.

Wouldn't hang my hat on it playing super nice with the apple tv but we can hope! Bit different to US in the way that OTT is a lot more common and a lot more players in the market. Here, Sky have somewhat of a monopoly. Personally I only use "NOW" for sky sports, I'd like to be able to use some of the other areas but it's just far too over priced. £9.99 Entertainment + £11.99 movies = £21.98 for something that Netflix top tier costs = £13.99 and Prime = £7.99, Disney+ = £7.99. I can pick two out of those 3 for the same price or less than "NOW" with barely a better library. Until they bring down their combined offering of TV+Movies under £15 I don't see how it really has a place in the market

In fairness on cancellation offers i am paying £13.99 for Entertainment, Movies and Boost but yeah the regular pricing is very expensive.

Apple TV update out, but just a design ‘refresh’ with new branding nothing else changed. The greens a bit easier on the eye but that’s about it really

im a bit surprised by this rebrand.
OK, its just cosmetic and appeared out of the blue... a half hearted one at that.
But you'd have hoped for the opportunity of a relaunch or something to go hand in hand with the new colour scheme.
Not yet seen the AppleTV update, but maybe that confirms a universal app (or does it? Im not sure).... anyway given the dissatisfaction of the AppleTV app it would have been nice for this to be a bit more substance over style.
