Do I have to wait for my, cancelled, AppleTV subscription to expire before I may remove the app from my AppleTV 4k units?

Thanks for your response Johnathon!

I'm confused though. Are you saying 'once subscribed to AppleTV+, always subscribed even though I've

cancelled my AppleTV+ subscription?

Or, 'AppleTV 4k units can never remove the AppleTV+ app even when

I'm no longer subscribed?

Again, thanks for this discussion!

Thanks for your reply Johnathan!

So, I can Remove 'any other' app from my AppleTV 4K, but NOT the

AppleTV+?

I'll try Apple Support again when I

have a hour or two to waste; Apple

Support seldom fixes any problems

for me!

There's a 'HUGE volume' of online

complaints about AppleTV+ constantly UPDATING which soaks

up bandwidth needed to operate

other apps.

Well, I'm stunned! AppleTV+ subscription is cancelled, still I cannot find a way to remove the AppleTV+ app from my AppleTV 4k Streaming units. The AppleTV+ app continues to update and hog bandwidth constantly

Thanks 'MacRevisited' for sticking with this discussion! Perhaps my

age-78 brain missed the point along the way, but I don't remember a

actual 'AppleTV' app on my Streaming Units before Subscribing to 'AppleTV+'.

Due to recent buffering, I verified

my ISP's NID with their Tech Support, Tested all ethernet cables

with my Klein VDV Scout Pro 2, swapped cables between Router &

Receiver Ports, verified my 50Mbps

ISP-Service & Cabled Router Ports.

I've OffLoaded Paramount+ and

Prime Video every day. At least my

'Single app & Single AppleTV unit

use 'one at a time' recent habit seems to drastically reduce the

buffering. I've reexamined my four

4K units Settings to Clean Up any

activity likely to affect bandwidth.

So my 4k units are less likely to

affect Bandwidth; I got 'skinny' on

Apple Settings. If buffering continues I'll boost Bandwidth to see what happens.

Thanks for sticking with this Old Fart

on this concern! ChiiDale
