Yep, I looked up the new features for tvOS 14 and there isn't much new of any interest to me, but that is okay I guess since the Apple TV 4K seems to work really well. I do wish they would unclutter the home screens though and allow us to turn off suggestions to services we don't subscribe to. This is also a complaint I’ve got against Amazon Prime too. I get tired of searching for a movie but then learn I have to sign up for another paid service or rent/buy the darn movie or TV show!

I've been going back and forth the last several days with Philo CS trying to get them to address their live TV streaming. They are bullheaded and don't want to admit the fault is on their end. I've got Fire TV and Roku and Apple TV 4K and all of them have the same streaming issue with Philo live TV constantly freezing on several channels, but none of my devices have this issue with any other streaming service. Occasion issues occur with all streaming services of course, but the Philo issue is a daily PITA. I get so tired of CS telling me to restart the device, update the firmware, restart the app, and all the other standard crap we all know to do before we even call them. Three days into the CS back and forth and I’m still only getting that kind of a response. I guess I’m going to have to search for another streaming service, but their price of $20/month will be tough to match. Philo is cheap because they don’t have news or sports channels or local programming. Hulu and Sling are way too expensive and designed to make you get extra packages. AT&T sux, so I won’t deal with them and whatever streaming service they have today or tomorrow. No desire whatever to go back to cable.. I’ve got a few services like Netflix, MotorTrend, BritBox, and Curiosity which I periodically purchase for a few months, then after I’ve seen all I want to of their current programming I cancel and wait several months or a year and purchase it again if they have new programming.
