In App Purchases aren't allowed on this Device ???

I subscribe to Apple TV (one year) and I have the App on my Fire stick. I watched one episode of Billions and it tells me "In App purchases aren't allowed on this device...to wach here, you must have subscribed to an Apple device".


  1. I did subscribe.
  2. I am signed in to the App on my TV.


What;'s going on? Is anyone else as frustrated as I?

The TV show Billions is not part of Apple TV+. I think it is on Showtime, which may also be available as Apple TV app Channel. You may have seen a free teaser episode.

Apple TV+ is the streaming service featuring Apple Originals.


You can’t subscribe or make purchases from Apple/iTunes on Fire TV devices. There is currently no agreement between Apple and Amazon about in-app purchases (both ways). You will have to subscribe or purchase on a different device, then you can watch it on your Fire TV.
