how do i access my apple tv content on a smart tv when only the tv app is loaded?


I downloaded the Apple TV+ app on my Hisense smart watch tv, but cannot find a way to access my Apple TV content (rented and bought). How do I go about?

Depends on your TV.


There's 2 different Apple TV apps. Apple TV and Apple TV+ (note the ➕)


If your Smart TV only supports the Apple TV+ app, then access to purchased and rented content is not supported.


Your Smart TV needs to run the full Apple TV app to get access to the iTunes Store and your rentals and purchases.
