Apple tv not playing paid tv subscriptions

When I go into an app like HGTV and try to watch a show I get the message "This content is available to viewers who receive HGTV as part of their pay TV subscription" The issue is I am signed into my paid subscription in settings, I even signed out and back in again. It does this in more apps than HGTV.

Any ideas on how I can get this to work again?

Apple TV+ Paid subscription still asking us to subscribe for any original I try to watch. I've been paying for the service I can't watch. This has been going on for a while now. I don't have time to wait in line for help. I've been subscribed for a few months now and I've only been able to watch a few episodes total. This is beyond frustrating. I'm watching from the web. I my subscription is active and charging my credit card. When I sign in I'm still getting the messaging that offers the subscription rather than allowing me to watch the shows.

I deleted the app and reinstalled it...that fixed the issue.
