Apple TV movies on TV

I was trying to rent a movie on Apple TV

I signed in with my Apple password on the TV. When I pressed watch on the movie I selected it said I had to order Apple TV+ on one of my Apple devices.

I downloaded the Apple TV+ App on my iPhone. I was then able to get the movie on my iPhone but I was not able to get it on my TV. I do not want to watch movies on my iPhone.

What can I do to rectify this situation. Thank you.

Greyhound requires the Apple TV+ subscription, it is not available to buy or rent normally.


To log in with your Apple ID on your TV's Apple TV App depedns a bit on your specific TV, Go to Settings or the small Gear icon at the very top of the TV App on the right side, then on accounts, and make sure your Apple ID is logged in.

Apple TV+ is not required to rent movies. It is required to watch movies that are part of the Apple TV+ subscription.


What movie where you trying to watch exactly?


If you have subscribed to Apple TV+, you can use it on your TV's Apple TV app, by making sure you are signed in to the same Apple ID as your iPhone.
