I don't think it common, but I feel you. I have a TV, but it's a 3rd computer screen just for playing movies. Every now and then someone from my family calls me asking for help with her TV, something broke, video is breaking, there's white noise on, or audio interrupts, etc. Gradma calls me because I work with computers. I don't have an antenna or decoder or something else I don't even know what these things are called. For music I play from phone connected to bluetooth speakers.

>I’m happy to announce the release of a new tvOS app called Blank

This got me so confused, I didn't even know TVs have apps, I mean I knew there is AndroidTV and nvidia shield, but somehow concept of 3rd party apps on a TV didn't get to me.
