Thanks for that. I tried it last night with the same login credentials on the android tv Apple tv app i.e. same Apple ID and password as my Macbook however still comes up as invalid password / Apple ID ?? I am wondering if Android TVs that the apple TV app i downloaded is not compatible i.e. Android TV to Apple ? most odd. I have a free subscription to apple tv which includes 6 subs for free.
