Apple TV+: Nothing I did not already have!

Signed up for 1 year of Apple TV+. But when I select a channel I want to watch (ie. ESPN) it asks for my TV service provider (ie. Cox or DirecTV). But I don’t have a provider! That is why I signed up for Apple TV+! So what good is the Apple streaming?

iPad Air, iOS 13

The Apple TV App is not the same as Apple TV Plus

Apple TV + is Apple Original content. It’s a channel found within the Apple TV App. The shows included in your subscription will have the tv+ logo on them - those are free. 


This is not like Netflix or Prime etc,  where all is included in the one App.
