I have a Model MC572LL/A Apple TV device. Can it play Apple TV+? I do not see an Apple TV app displayed. Apple TV has become a confusing term - does it apply to the device or to the service being provided?
Apple TV (2nd gen)
Hello,
Apple TV (2nd generation) was obsoleted several years ago. You can view Apple TV+ on your Apple TV (2nd generation) by AirPlaying from another supported Apple device.
The 2nd gen is now 9 year old hardware and issues will start to arise, since it is no longer supported there isn't much to do once things start to occur. Providers have also been dropping support and certain content can be blocked from streaming. Netflix ceased support for airplay earlier this year
Thanks for your reply. I bought a new Mac Mini from Apple a week ago and updated it to Catalina OS. When I try to AirPlay it to the obsolete Apple TV device while running Apple TV on the Mini, after a few minutes it crashes. The audio transfers to the Apple TV device but the video does not. Formerly on my older Mini with an older OS I could AirPlay Netflix to the Apple TV device.
Can a second generation Apple TV device access Apple TV+?
