Adding a TV Provider on the Apple TV app
Why am I not able to add a TV provider to the Apple TV App similar to the Apple TV hardware device. To watch HBO I have to subscribe again on my Mac although I already have a subscription?

Hello jason2469,
I understand from your post that you're unable to add a TV provider to the Apple TV app and you have to subscribe again on your Mac even though you already have a subscription. I am happy to help.
Take a look at the article below for using your TV provider with your Apple TV. Let's just ensure no steps were missed.
Use your pay TV or cable provider with Apple TV
I also want to provide you with the an article that contains a list of providers that support single sign-on
TV providers that support single sign-on with your iOS device or Apple TV
Let us know if that resolves this issue for you.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
Take care.
Thanks for the reply. Yes this works great on Apple TV or an iOS device. But with the recent release of the TV app on Catalina 10.15 it appears you are unable to use your TV provider to watch premium content such as your HBO subscription via the TV app.
