Apple TV’s universal search now works with Comedy Central, MTV, and VH1 shows

Apple has added Comedy Central, MTV, and VH1 shows to the fourth generation Apple TV’s universal search and Siri search.

The universal search feature uses Siri, the voice-activated “digital assistant,” and enables searches across multiple streaming video services as well as the iTunes Store. Instead of searching the catalogs of multiple video services one at a time for a particular movie or show, you can search all simultaneously, then choose the service on which you’d like to watch it. You can also search for actors, directors, and more.

Apple has been expanding the supported services list since the new version of the set-top box launched in October. Other support services include iTunes, HBO Go, HBO Now, Hulu, Netflix, PBS, PBS Kids, Showtime, Showtime Anytime, Watch ABC, Disney, Disney Junior, Disney XD, Fox, National Geographic, FX Now, PBS, PBS Kids, A&E, History, Lifetime, Cooking Channel, DIY, Food Network, Travel Channel FYI, and HGTV.
