Out of curiosity, I checked on the apps on my Panasonic tv. The tv is 11 years old but as a plasma TV, the image is still great. First app, Netflix - it loads and asks for the user login but then it says Netflix is not available in my region. Next app, YouTube - it starts to launch but crashes. So zero for two. There are seven blank icons where there were apps but those no longer do anything. Home Shopping Network — an app I never used. Launches but says “No longer available”. Ok, enough testing, basically at this point my tv is an over the air tv and a monitor for my Apple TV. No surprise to me as I figured that would be how things would work and a big reason I get Apple TVs - because they do get updates and if your AppleTV becomes obsolete but the TV is still good, I just get a new AppleTV as they are relatively inexpensive.
