Get started
It’s easy to set up the Apple TV app and start watching right away. Once you open the app on your smart TV or other device, you can explore the app and browse movies and TV shows.
When you’re ready to start watching, you just need an Apple ID to sign in. Afterward, you can subscribe to channels, purchase or rent movies, or purchase TV shows from the iTunes Store.
If you have an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch (with iOS 11 or later), or an Android device that supports QR scanning, you can sign in using your device’s camera to scan a QR code that appears onscreen.
