Channel 4's 'All 4' Streaming Service Now Integrates With Apple's TV App for UK Viewers

by

Late last year, United Kingdom broadcaster Channel 4 released a tvOS app for its "All 4" on-demand streaming service, allowing viewers to stream the channel's shows for free on Apple TV. This week, the All 4 app updated with integration for Apple's TV app, meaning that all of the shows that users watch in the All 4 app will sync in their Up Next queue in the TV app.

All 4 shows will also appear as part of recommendations in the TV app now, making it much easier as a whole for viewers to keep track of their show binges within the TV app. The All 4 tvOS app is not available in the United States at this time.

Channel 4 is the home of many well-known shows like The Great British Bake Off, the UK version of Big Brother, the original Black Mirror, Misfits, and The IT Crowd. It also hosts a few imported series like Community, 30 Rock, and The Goldbergs. To gain access to these shows and movies, all users need to do is create and sign into a free My4 account.

(Thanks John!)

Overall I'm delighted to have All4 on the Apple TV. I just wish they'd have a more elegant solution for ad breaks. The ad breaks on Hulu are quite annoying but at least there's a countdown and you know you have 90 seconds to leave the room and come back.

Channel 4 app needs live TV feature, simple to implement, just get it done. UKTV would be a welcomed addition too.

Integration appears to be broken as of this morning. Seen two other instances reported on twitter. Shows no longer appear in the up next carousel and while the best of All 4 section still appears you can't launch the shows and search is unable to find no All 4 content currently. All 4 has been removed from my connected apps list even though it appears in the app count.
Ah so that’s why I can’t get it to work, hopefully it will be back up soon

On the other hand BT’s two Apple TV apps are really good apart from the lack of TV app integration.
[doublepost=1554231079][/doublepost]Urm? Is it just me who can’t get All4 episodes to play from the TV App on the Apple TV? They’ll open the All4 app on iOS but on TvOS nothing happens if I click on anything.
[doublepost=1554244837][/doublepost]You need to delete and reinstall the app. It then works properly
