Permanently disable autoplay

I need to know how to permanently disable autoplay next episode. Please don’t tell me that I can just hit Back or Menu or whatever when the overlay comes on at the end of an episode. I don’t want to do that. What I want to do is watch a show from start to finish without interruption. That’s what I’m paying for. If you can’t understand that your users want to watch the content they’ve purchased without interruption, then you’re going to miss out on a lot of possible revenue. I already canceled all other streaming services that do this: Netflix, Disney+, etc., and I will stop buying Apple TV and iTunes products too, if you continue this nonsense. I buy a show, I press Play, let me watch that show from start to finish without making me jump up at the end to try to stop you from cutting off the last 10 seconds to shift me to another show. Just stop! I need to permanently disable all possible cases of autoplay next anything. The default needs to be watching without interruptions! Also, your Autoplay feature doesn’t work in the first place, because it always cuts off the last 5 or 10 seconds of one episode when it jumps to the next one. Fail!

Ok go to settings on the main menu gear icon. Select apps. Then select tv. Then select auto-play next video and make sure it now says off next to it. And voila
