Whether you’re looking to rid your home of knickknacks and tchotchkes or looking to fill your house with new ornaments and decorations, you’ll likely find yourself headed to the same online destination. Everything But The House, or EBTH, serves as a digital home for estate sales, benefiting both buyers and sellers. Folks looking to downsize their possessions can call the EBTH team, who will coordinate junk removal, item donations, and list sellable items, while folks looking for treasure in other people’s trash can visit the EBTH website, where items start at just $1. And now, browsing through the EBTH trove is getting easier still thanks to its new app for Apple TV.

With this new app, EBTH offers its customers a new platform from which to browse and explore thousands of unique goods available on the website, all on the big screen and from the comfort of their house. Now, as soon as you’re finished with that episode of Fixer Upper, you can turn right to the EBTH Apple TV app and find an item that will fix up your own home.

If you see something you like, you can “quick follow” a new item by long-pressing the item tiles. You can also send items to the EBTH iOS app on your iPhone or iPad to place a bid. And of course, you can track bids and monitor followed items on the EBTH website or iOS app.

“Searching for and finding that exact right, hard to find, or unique treasure is part of the experience our consumers love, and we want to make this even more enjoyable by making it available on the big screen,” said Andy Nielsen, CEO of EBTH. “Our iOS users are already our most active bidders, with iOS browsing sessions lasting 24 percent longer than web. Launching this app is a natural next step and allows us to bring EBTH’s extensive marketplace to Apple TV’s more than 20 million users.”

SharePlay is coming to Apple TV and HomePod
SharePlay from an iPhone to Apple TV.

Get ready to give your friends and family even more control over what's playing on your TV and speakers. Apple appears to be prepping SharePlay for Apple TV, as well as HomePod speakers. Per MacRumors — and confirmed on our own hardware — the latest developer betas for tvOS 17.4 and iOS 17.4 add functionality that lets others take over the music experience in the same manner that previously was only available on CarPlay.

Again, this is part of a developer preview and not yet in production software. So features could change. Or disappear. Don't go rearranging your life around any of this just yet.

As we've written previously, tvOS 17 opened the floodgates for VPNs to run on Apple TV hardware. And the major players are all on board, along with some you've likely never heard of because not everyone has a huge marketing budget. First it was ExpressVPN, and today NordVPN has announced its availability.

Whereas some companies tout a VPN's ability to let you watch content that's not available in your country — literally by routing your network traffic through another country — NordVPN is going with scare tactics in promoting its virtual private network on Apple TV.
