Accessibility Comments

The Apple TV app has a few things that are not quite working with Voice Over the way they should. For example, without Voice Over running you can swipe up with one finger to gain access to on demand content. With Voice Over running though the gesture does not work. It's easy enough to work around by turning off Voice Over and swiping up while watching a channel, then turning Voice Over back on.
