tvOS 17.2 Apple TV App Wishlist

I have just updated to 17.2 on both of my 4K ATVs (2017 and 2021 model), the new ATV app is nice and all, certainly faster than the old Movies and TV Series app, especially the TV Series app when it comes to a show like 'Supernatural', where it would often take 20 to 30secs to load everything in.


HOWEVER, what I don't like is both my wishlist (from the Movies app), and favourites (from the TV series app) are completely gone.


I had almost 200 movies in my wishlist, and now, nothing, they are just gone.


Granted the wishlist / favourites on the ATV never synced with any other device (eg. if I looked at iTunes on my PC, or the store on my iPad, I could never see what I had wishlisted or favourited on my ATV), but still.


It would have been nice if those could have been rolled into the new ATV app and force-synced with the rest of the Apple ecosystem.


I guess I should have been more prepared and manually gone through both and written down everything that was in there, but still.


I will never be able to manually rebuild those 2 lists :(

They want to merge everything into ONE program they say. Fine.


Now AppleTv is a MESS.


Everything is cramped together on one page :


I want to rent and watch movies, I dont want "advertising" about tv series

I want to rent and watch movies, I dont want "advertising" about AppleTv+

I want to rent and watch movies, I dont want "advertising" about other streaming services


Its a mess. The young restless people probably love this caos

I am older, I know what I want, and I do not do Impulse purchases.
