Great, time for the Android 4.0 Beta :). Seriously have some ATV/Channels 4.0 Beta jealousy at this point.

I just joined and now have to decide which version I'm going to show my wife to get her on board for Channels. It looks really great.
I would show her the beta. Not a good idea to have her get use to the current version and then switch things up in a couple of weeks (plus, the beta is better). Try it out for yourself first.
That literally made me laugh out loud
@Helios2 must know my wife. Never underestimate the influence of wife acceptance factor in stuff like this. 
We have an Android TV in the bedroom and seems like that has the side Nav menu too, so will probs go with the beta.
On iOS. I turned on Kids in library settings. When I go into Kids in library it is only showing four shows and no movies. I have a bunch of shows and movies recorded that should show up as Kids. They show up in All. I just checked and the same occurred on my Apple TV.
In your Library, highlight the movie you want to show in kids. long press the Apple TV remote on the touchpad And select adjust visibility.
It’s not just one movie, it’s most of the shows too. I will try this though.
Ok, I get it now... got it all sorted by setting shows to Kids.
It's important to know that when Channels categorizes kids content for you the first time you turn it on, it's up to you to do it for all new content. So when a movie or show is added, you'll need to tell it what level of visibility it has in your library.

This just happened again on my iPad with the current TestFight beta (7.10.1908) — video player closes and I can’t get it to reopen, but audio continues to play. I again tapped “Submit Diagnostics”. Have you been able to reproduce this? Is there anything else I can do to help get it fixed?
We've seen it, but aren't able to reproduce it. It's on our radar. More importantly, I'll be working to ensure the background audio bug doesn't happen anymore, so we can at least recover from it.

Apple TV 4K 7.10.1908
Noticed in the guide when you scroll down the channels and then go back to the top, the first channel is cut off at the top
Edit: It seems ok now. May have been a temporary issue for me
Just experienced this as well.
Though the reason for the early exit hasn’t been determined, we have resolved the issue where starting another video plays in the background.

On the Apple TV beta, I've had it happen a couple of times that if I go into Up Next and rearrange channels, and then move channels around for a while, if I hit back, it exits rearrange channels but I'm unable to navigate around any longer until I restart the Channels app.
I assume you mean On Now?
Yes... I was rearranging a lot of channels trying to match two Apple TV Favorites lists for the quick guide. It would be really handy if there was a feature to save the favorites/order to the server and then load it to another app. But yes, after rearranging channels I exited that mode and wasn't able to navigate around with the remote... had to restart to get that back.
Thanks for all the feedback! Channels 4.0 is now officially released.
