Apple TV Internet Radio


Are there any Apple TV users here?  I’m referring to the device, not the streaming service.  They recently did an update that has messed up my Internet Radio listening.

  Our ATV resides in the living room.  It is part of a 5.1 surround sound system.

In our kitchen we also have the original Home Pod.  When we eat breakfast we usually just tell Siri to play WFMT, our local Classical Station.  At other times I use the Tune In app on ATV to listen to other Classical Stations from around the world.  I also have a Bluesound Node in the family room system.

  The ATV did a recent update.  It totally changed Tune In, which erased our favorites, and made it difficult to search for stations (previously you could search by genre, country, and other means).  In addition Siri won’t play anything, stating there is a problem with my Apple Music account, which is paid in full.

  The Tune In App on the Node is unchanged.  We can still pull in everything as before.  Apple Support keeps claiming the problem is with Tune In and ignores my point that on other streamers there is no problem.  They also can’t explain why Siri won’t play anything. The Home Pod shouldn’t even need an Apple TV to play Internet Radio, and our account is paid up anyway.

  Wondering if anyone else is having an issue with ATV and Internet Radio

I’ll answer my own query.  Now one has to pay for what had for free before.  Apple Voice.  How stupid of me not to realize this was 

Anything to do with audio/listening to music and an internet connection- pass

Apparently Apple hasn’t figured out that one can go to the IP site for the individual stations, then Air Play it to the home pad.  Probably the next update will nix that.
