Netflix's ad-supported plan isn't working on Apple TV devices

TL;DR

If you're an Apple TV user who was considering switching to Netflix's new ad-supported plan, it might be best to hold off for now.“Basic with ads plan support on tvOS is not available at launch but coming soon," Netflix told Variety.As spotted by 9to5Mac, a Netflix support page notes that you'll only be able to watch Netflix on Apple TV if you're subscribed to the Basic, Standard or Premium tiers.Netflix didn't explain why the Basic with ads plan doesn't work on Apple TV as yet, but it seems a bit of an oversight.Beyond the inclusion of ads, the plan has some other downgrades from Netflix's higher tiers, such as video resolution maxing out at 720p (the same as the ad-free Basic plan), some content being unavailable and a lack of offline viewing."
