If you have a pre-existing CBS account (not initiated through the Apple TV app) then you can use the sign-in options in the CBS app (iPhone, iPad, Apple TV box – but not on Mac). You can’t use that account to sign in for the CBS Channel in the Apple TV app. You should be able to sign in and watch on the web though.


The reverse is different. If you subscribe through the Apple TV app, then you can create a CBS account from that, to use outside the Apple TV app as well.
