(1) All of these video apps, including Netflix, are on Meta Quest, which makes it all the more of a snub. (It's a dirty little secret that apps are highly portable between VR and AR headsets because they are almost all written in Unity anyway)
(2) If you're thinking about buying an AVP and not thinking about buying an MQ3 at 1/7 the price you're not thinking or at least you're not an technology enthusiast you're an Apple enthusiast.
(3) So far all the video apps (not to mention remote desktop apps like Immersed) I've seen have a poor user interface for situating and controlling the virtual screens. It doesn't seem like an insurmountable problem but it's somewhat startling that it hasn't been addressed. Maybe AVP will point the way to something better.
(4) I tried the "VR camera" view of NBA games on Xtadium. I've lately taken a shine to sitting in the front row at college games (Newman Auditorium is rarely full so usually I can sit courtside with a $8 ticket) so the "courtside view" was appealing to me but: (a) my 20Mbps DSL connection is not slow enough to support it (though every normal streaming service works fine) and (b) the perception of space around the camera is really strange. I just can't say it is really any better than watching an NBA game on an ordinary TV.
Once you get your AVP (or if you "think different" and get an MQ3) you will realize there are some troubles when you try to synthesize views out of multiple cameras in different spots and even a camera like

that shoots great pano video will get strange results when people get close. The problems I am having w/ it have to do with the network and camera so I don't see it being better on AVP.
