The Morning Show plays only 2 Episodes

I downloaded the Apple TV app on my Amazon Fire Stick 4k. I successfully logged in using my Apple ID and PW. A Message came up stating I had 1 year free subscription since I had just purchased a new iPhone. All is well. I watched the first 2 episodes of The Morning Show but when I tried to watch the 3rd a Pop Up menu came up with something like " NO App purchases can be made with this device". I logged in and off several times but I could not watch any more than episodes 1-2. So the App must think this is a trial and only allows watching 2 episodes but yet when I logged in it said I had 1-year subscription. Confused.

iPhone 11, iOS 13

I solved my own problem. This may help others as well. You can't watch the new AppleTV + on streaming device UNTIL you first sign up and register for AppleTV on your personal IOS device. Once you have successfully signed up for the service only then can you stream on another device.


Note you get 1 year free service if you purchase a new Apple device but even then you must "sign up" for that service first on your IOS device.

I do not understand. I go to the email on my Apple iPhone where it says 1 yr free subscription and click on it. It then goes to a page that has a button at the bottom that says to slide left but it doesn’t slide. It also has a button at the top right that says double click to confirm. I double click and it goes back to the original email.

I have the Apple TV loaded on my fire stick and watched 2 episodes of The Morning Show. It will not let me watch Episode 3. It says I have to pay on another device. This is so frustrating. I do not know how to sign out of Apple TV or what to do on my iphone. This is not user friendly.

HELP!!!!!

I watched 5 episodes of morning show on my Apple TV DEVICE hooked to my TV. But when I try to watch on my iPhone, I go to App Store to install, where it nicely advertises The Morning Show. All “install” does us open the Apple TV app on my iPhone. No morning show there. When I tap on the advertisement, it opens the Apple TV app but says “content no longer available.” Whaat? I assume I should be able to watch it from another device.


and true to form, nothing in the interface has a logout like everyone keeps saying I’m order to sign in.


once again Apple is “pretty” but knows not the first thing about how users actually perceive what’s going on. Help.

Interesting. I signed up for the one year trial about 5 weeks ago, activated the app on my iPad Pro and we watched a couple episodes of See. Busy with a home sale I didn’t access it again until 2/7 and now the only way to watch anything is by signing up for the 7 day trial. Two episodes allowed was my thought too....but on a one year trial, lol

Its weird also that I can’t find any record of signing up in my account purchases or subscriptions.

Does your account show you signed up for the one year trial?
