I have seen or heard nothing about that from Max BUT Netflix is dropping support for all, older NON-4k Apple tvs in July. I would imagine most streamers will eventually follow suit.
I went back and checked why I did not do the BF deal...it waw $59.99 WITH ads. The present deal is the one had until I let it run out in Feb '24. I did call to see if I could get the same deal and was told No. It was just a lucky "thought" that came into mind to check it out.
If anyone is interested, P+ is offering the Essential (+Showtime and no ads) 1/2 off for 1 year ($59.99), as good or better than their Black Friday deal, which I passed on. I jumped on this one.
I tried T-Mobil's 5g and it was horrible. Would not connect in 5g to several devices (inlcuding two TV's) and several of our smart devices would not connect (to 2.4). Not to mention their speed throttling.
It's sadly true with all the advertising. Others will probably take note. Hopefully the NO ADS people can watch unedited material.

Halo is not a CBS show. Most Paramount + shows are DV, like all the Star Treks (also with atmos), Also last seasons of Seal Team, Evil and others. Major exception is the Tyler Sheridan Yellowstone spin offs.
For me, the hands down argument against TVOS is having to use arc or e-arc for external audio, thus forcing CEC into the mix. That Is something I always steer clear of.
