How can I watch a show on my TV? I'm in the Apple TV app. My only options are in up next and how to watch. No option to start watching. I subscribed a half hour ago. Should I give it more time?

I see now that certain movies say play; others just say "how to watch". Do you have to pay extra to see these movies? One is from 2014. The movie I'm trying to see is "Free Guy", but I can't .

None of these answers or comments were useful. Everything on my Apple tv just says “How to Watch”, where before I could rent or buy movies/series.
I have the same problem of not being able to watch anything on Apple Tv
Access is immediate. Apple TV+ (the subscription service), gives you access to Apple TV+ created content only (look for the logo on the display image). Your Apple TV app also displays content from many other providers.
On what device are you trying to watch/on what device do you have the Apple TV app?
Fire TV, Android TV/Google TV, and Sony TV currently do not support in-app purchases for the Apple TV app. You can buy, rent, or subscribe on another supported device and then watch in the Apple TV app on your device.
On Amazon Fire TV devices, you can't purchase content from the Apple TV app. You can purchase content on another supported device to watch it in the Apple TV app on your Amazon Fire TV device.
Apple TV+ (the subscription service), gives you access to Apple TV+ created content only. Your Apple TV app also displays content from many other providers. Free Guy is not an Apple TV+ film, but is likely available for purchase through Apple. It may also be streaming soon on other streaming services to which you may subscribe.
Hello, thanks for the reply.
I have a Sony smart tv, before I could make purchases, rent/buy films, but now it says “How to watch” instead. So I guess it has changed recently?
I have since made my purchases on the app on my phone and its then available on the tv app, it’s just strange that I cannot do it anymore.
Yes, unfortunately the situation for Android TV/Sony has changed since about March 18, I guess (modification date of the referencing support article). The change surprised me as well.
Your subscription is available immediately. Select the show in up next or by searching. Then click on it to play.
Thank you for clearing this up! We have been struggling to figure what happened as well.
But where can I find what are the supported devices?
