I haven't had cable in years, could you put together a list of the basic channels you expect people to want (even just a guess of the top ten -- we're never going to have them all)? I can try to solve for those and see if that inspires a solution.

Anyone can install apps on the AppleTV by logging in with their Apple IDs (and remember to sign out after), but how each channel handles content licensing is up to them -- some have subscription services that you can buy, others require you sign in with a partnered cable account, etc. For example: • for HBO Go (or CNN Go) you have to sign in with a cable account that has the HBO channel on the account. • for HBO Now, you have to subscribe for $X per month, billed to your Apple ID. • for Disney's channels, you have to sign in with an authorized cable account, BUT Time Warner is not one of the options. So it's a bit of a mess. For Nilli & Ehud I signed into one of the news channels as the account connected to 9 E 71st, but each cable account can only be on 5 devices at once (and Jeffrey has A LOT of devices he uses personally). I'm not sure what the solution is here. I'll think on it, but I may need some guidance from Rich & JEE on how they want this to work. EFTA00459849
