Samsung has begun rolling out the promised Apple TV VOD app to its compatible smart TVs via a software update. It appeared in the list of recommended apps on my home screen yesterday.

I haven’t had a long look at it yet but I can’t see myself subscribing until there’s a large amount of bundled content. However I’m interested to see whether they offer more reasonable rental prices for films. Amazon Prime and Rakuten, which are both available through my TV, usually ask silly money for even quite old films a lot of the time, if they even offer rental at all - often it’s purchase only. If Apple are prepared to be a true online video library they’ll clean up.
