1st Generation Apple TV & Disney + App

Hi I am a huge fan of my Apple TV and I got it like 5 years ago, so it is one of the older versions, but I love it. The only problem is I really want to download the Disney + app to it but there is no App Store to actually buy the app, how do I get an App Store on my Apple TV or the Disney + app on my Apple TV. I am desperate.


Thank You

You would need an Apple TV (4th generation or later) to have the App Store on the device. Apple TV (3rd generation or earlier) do not have access to an App Store.


Disney+ supports AirPlay to stream content from e.g. an iPhone or iPad to the Apple TV.


If your Apple TV is a 4" black box, then you would have at least a 2nd generation model. Identify your Apple TV model - Apple Support

The word from Disney themselves:

How do I use AirPlay and Apple TV - Disney+ Help Center
Disney+ supports AirPlay between any iOS device and:
• Apple TV (running tvOS 11.0 or higher)
• 3rd generation Apple TV
• TVs compatible with AirPlay 2.
For optimal performance, we recommend installing the latest firmware available for your devices.

The new specification now specifically omits the 2nd generation.
