I have the Apple TV+ app on my phone and iPad. I have bought movie purchases. I can watch them on the phone and iPad, but the inbuilt Apple TV+ app on my smart tv does not show my library or purchases.
if I buy the Apple TV set top box, will this show my library of purchases so I can watch them on my tv instead of iPad?
AppleTV+ is Apple’s streaming service for Apple Original content.
It does not provide access to any content purchased from the media store.
Yes, if you purchase the hardware box and sign into the Apple Account used to purchase content from the media store, you will be able to access it.

I can access all my purchased content via the Android version of Apple TV that came included with my Sony Bravia. What I cannot do however with the TV's android app is make any purchases with it. For that I have to use my Apple TV box. I have no idea if the same applies to other TV brands. Just make sure you when signing in is use the correct Apple account if you have more than one.
FWiW I've never tried to watch ATV content on my iPhone, iPad or MacBooks so I can't advise.
So to answer your questions about buying the set top box, 'yes' it will and 'yes' you can.
Thank you, that’s helpful. I didn’t want to buy it if you couldn’t view purchased items.
there are some tvs that have an app which also support iTunes purchases and not just appletv+ not sure how one knows what type of app the tv supports before one purchase tv though
Apple TV box - can you access your purchased library on the set top box?
