These subscription services within the Apple TV app have some great features. If you subscribe to a streaming service, say PBS Kids, you might see a PBS Kids channel in the Apple TV channels app offering a subscription as well. The app itself looks like it does on Apple TV and iDevices, but the way it handles outside content is different-frustratingly so in some cases. The new TV app is where you'll go to view your purchased items, access any third-party streaming services you've paid for, like HBO or Hulu, and find recommendations on what to watch. This means that if you search for 'Gadget Lab,' not only will you find our podcast, you'll find any others that talk about Gadget Lab or use the phrase 'Gadget Lab.' The best feature in Podcasts is the search tool, which will now search not just the metadata and descriptions that your favorite podcasters write for each episode, but also Siri transcripts of the actual audio. Not only is it a nicely designed app, it makes a good showcase for how apps from the iPad can be translated to MacOS. If you've ever used the Podcasts app on iPad, you'll recognize the new MacOS version. Until you do that, none of your other media content will show up in Podcasts or TV either. The other slightly confusing thing is that you have to open Music to get the library converted. Make sure you don't delete or move that file, because all the new apps use it (see Apple's help page for details). One important thing to note: iTunes might be gone, but the monolithic iTunes library in the file system is not. I no longer have a huge iTunes library to run through the upgrade process, but I did do an in-place upgrade with a small library and ran into no problems at all.
