Don’t keep up with this sort of thing much. What is the source of the signal, or programming for Apple

Thanks for the reply. It sounds like Apple TV will offer content several different ways, direct from Apple and then subscriptions to other services which can be purchased through Apple, and then through apps.

I looked at the Apple information and they also offer apps such as Watch ESPN and NBC Sports Live Extra, which still require a subscription through a cable or satellite provider on Android devices (must enter cable or satellite provider in app to view content). Cable and satellite companies wouldn't be too happy if Apple swung a deal to offer such content directly through Apple TV.
