I already have a CBS All Access subscription. How do I use the Apple TV Channel line up with it. There is only an option to start a free trial?

Purchasing the CBS All Access subscription on your Apple TV device and paying through iTunes/Apple (but not initiated through the Apple TV app), is still a different subscription than the Apple TV app CBS channel subscription. You don’t have to switch; you can keep using the existing subscription with its own app and/or web access.
Making it “simply work” would not be technically difficult, but the licensing requires a separate subscription.

You don’t. Your existing subscription is not exchangeable with the Apple TV app Channel subscription. Either use the CBS subscription with the CBS app and/or web access (if supported), or cancel that and go for the subscription within the Apple TV app.
Argh! The irony for my is that I purchased my CBS All Access subscription on my Apple TV device and thus am paying for it through Apple. I wonder why Apple doesn't make "simply work" in this case and recognize that in the desktop Apple TV app.
Thanks I figured that was the answer but wasn't sure
How do you access CBS All Access through Apple TV Channels if already subscribed
