i have the Apple TV app on my smart tv. I have some shows and movies in UP NEXT that I cannot watch because when I click HOW TO WATCH it says to buy, rent or subscribe. I already subscribe to Apple TV, it does show where to buy or rent the show/movie. I don’t understand how this works.
The Apple TV app can access more than Apple TV+ subscription content alone. That other content will have to be paid for separately. Perhaps you assumed the show or movie was part of Apple TV+, when it was not? The Up Next queue list allows adding titles that have not been purchased yet, or from services that have not been subscribed to yet. The How to Watch text was supposed to convey this situation. You may recognize the Apple TV+ content from the logo in the corner of tiles, or by filtering through the use of the tv+ tab in the app.

Unfortunately, not all platforms allow in-app financial transactions at this time. That means that for those platforms, the subscribing or buying or renting part will have to be done on a different supported device (e.g. iPhone). After that, the content will be available on your initial device (TV) as well, from linking to the Apple ID account.
