Watch on cable or satellite services
Look for the Apple TV+ or Apple TV app on your cable or satellite service (you may need to install the app first), then open the app and sign in to your Apple Account.
Note: If your cable or satellite service includes an Apple TV for use, follow the instructions in Watch on Apple TV (4K, HD, and 3rd generation).
If you need more help, follow the instructions below.
Find and install the Apple TV+ or Apple TV app
If you don’t see the Apple TV+ or Apple TV app on your cable or satellite service, you can search for it.
On the home screen of your cable or satellite service, go to Search.
Search for “Apple TV.”
If you can’t find the Apple TV+ or Apple TV app in search, it’s either not supported or not yet available on your cable or satellite service. Try watching using any of the other ways detailed elsewhere in this guide.
Follow the onscreen instructions to download the Apple TV+ or Apple TV app.
Note: The Apple TV+ app is limited to Apple TV+ movies and TV shows and doesn’t include Apple TV channels or other features found in the Apple TV app on other devices.
On your cable or satellite service’s app launcher, select the Apple TV+ app or Apple TV app to open it, then sign in to your Apple Account if prompted.
Note: If you don’t already have an Apple Account, you can create one on the Apple Account website. You need only one Apple Account to use Apple TV app services. For more information, see the Apple Account FAQ.
