Limits for downloads
You can't download content from the Apple TV app on Apple TV, smart TVs, streaming devices, and on tv.apple.com. Instead, you can only stream content on these devices.
For most Apple TV channels, downloads are available for up to 30 days before they expire. For a few channels, downloads might expire earlier.
Some Apple TV channels might have limits for how many titles can be downloaded simultaneously and the number of devices you can download content on. If you reach the limit, the Apple TV app alerts you. If you want to download more titles, delete TV episodes or movies that you already downloaded from one of your (or your family's) devices.
Limits for streaming on multiple devices
Apple TV subscription: One subscription allows you to enjoy 6 simultaneous streams. If you have an Apple Music student subscription, which includes Apple TV access for a limited time, you can stream Apple TV content only on one device at a time.
Apple TV channels: One subscription allows you to enjoy up to 3 simultaneous streams for most channels. Some channels might allow more or less than 3 simultaneous streams.
The Apple TV app, Apple TV channels, Apple TV subscription, and store availability might vary by country or region. See what’s available in your country or region. Apple TV subscription does not include third party-branded subscription services or content available for rental or purchase in the Apple TV app.
