Apple today released tvOS 10.2 for the Apple TV, adding improvements to scrolling behaviour, support for cross-device movie rentals, and improvements to the Apple TV Remote iOS app. The new “rent anywhere” feature debuted last week in iTunes 12.6 and in iOS 10.3 earlier today, now allows users to rent a movie in from iTunes on their Mac or PC or on their iPhone and iPad and watch it on their Apple TV.
When scrolling in a long list, an alphabetical selector will now appear at the right side of the TV screen to allow users to scroll more quickly to a section of the list.
An update to the Apple TV Remote app posted today adds support for the iPad, along with an enhanced “Now Playing” experience similar to the iOS Music app, providing access to lyrics and playlist navigation for music, as well as chapters, audio track, and caption selection when viewing movies and TV shows.
