APPLE TV+ ON MULTIPLE TV'S

Hello, I can only watch Apple TV+ on two devices, one TV and my iPad. From what I am reading online, you can watch on 6 different devices. The TV I watch it on is a Smart TV and then the iPad. The other TV's are smart TV's, when I launch the app on the other devices, it looks like it will start and then the screen stays black with the Apple TV+ logo, and nothing else happens.

How can I correct this? I love the series and movies that have to offer.

Thank you,

Nancy

The error may be unrelated to the number of devices. Else it would give a proper error message telling you that too many devices are in use.

The limit is about simultaneous streams per account. There is no device limit if the streams are not simultaneous.


… the other TVs …

Depending on the brands and OS versions, there may be troubleshooting steps you can try.

  • See if system software updates are available. Install if available.
  • Try deleting and reinstalling the Apple TV app.
  • Try a cold restart of the smart TV or streaming device.
