Hello Lrfeather,


It sounds like you are not able to use Fitness+ on your Apple TV. We understand how important this is to you and we are here to help.


First, let's restart both your Apple Watch and Apple TV.

If the issue persists can you provide a few more details? Which watchOS and tvOS are you currently using? When did you first notice this? Also, are you able to still AirPlay with your Apple TV?

Lrfeather,


Thank you for those details. Which Apple TV and Apple Watch are you currently using?


You can verify compatibility with Fitness + using this article: Devices you can use with Apple Fitness+


Let's also review the setup guide here: Set up Fitness+ on Apple TV


If the issue persists scan you provide a few more details? Are you able to stream anything else on your Apple TV? You mentioned this started two weeks ago, were any changes made two weeks ago? Also, what is the exact error you see when you attempt to use Fitness +?


Cheers!

The restarts didn’t help the Apple Watch and Apple TV connection. The tvos is 14.4 and the Apple Watch OS is version 7.3.2. The watch as tv connected fine until about 2 weeks ago. Now when I try to connect in my watch it times out. The fitness+ app is slow to open in the TV too. I am not sure if I can stream the Fitness+ video on Apple TV.

Thank you for your help!!
