Apple's Updated tvOS Improves Search, Siri, and Sign-In

As expected, Siri will get some enhancements in the updated version of tvOS. The voice assistant can now search the system's database of 650,000 movies and shows using more complex topical queries, such as the "high-school comedies from the '80s" example Apple VP Eddy Cue used onstage at today's WWDC keynote. Siri can also search YouTube if you ask it to, using spoken commands such as "search YouTube for Draymond Green repeatedly assaulting other players." For streaming channels that include live programming, such as cable-company apps and Watch ESPN, Siri can now launch them immediately without having to futz around in the menu screen. Saying "watch (app name)" will quickly bring up a big-screen view of the live feed.
