Charlotte Henry and Chuck Joiner return after a holiday break to discuss Chuck's CES impressions, evolving TV hardware, and the viewing experience around Apple TV. They discuss smart TV interfaces, discoverability challenges, and why software now matters as much (if not more) as display quality. They look at both upcoming and canceled Apple TV shows, and pick some favorites among both new and returning series.
