tvOS, the operating system that runs on Apple's box, will gain a number of other updates as well when the update arrives this fall, including live channels, single sign-on for authenticating cable television apps, and YouTube search via Siri.
The Apple TV now has a total of 6,000 apps, with 1,300 of those dedicated to video, including new additions like Fox Sports Go, NBA 2K16, Minecraft Story Mode, and Sketch Party.
