airplay2 and homekit reqire an icloud account I am not able to setup my Apple TV as my Home Hub. When I use the Apple TV menu for "AirPlay and HomeKit" and try to access the "Room" to designate location of the Apple TV I get an "iCloud Required" message "AirPlay 2 and HomeKit require an iCloud account". I am indeed logged into iCloud on the Apple TV. Its a 4th Gen Apple TV. all my devices are up to date. all my devices are on the same network. my icloud account is added to the Apple TV and I am the default/primary user. I have icloud keychain and 2factor auth enabled already. I can see my Apple TV listed under my devices in my icloud account.

Authenticating free 3 month Apple TV trial on LG TV Hi. I have a 3 month free trial of Apple TV with my LG Smart TV, I follow the online QR prompts to log in on my phone, the tv screen then accepts my Apple ID and I follow the other prompts on the TV, at the end it says 'Authentication required, continue on your smart phone, iPad or tablet to complete the process' but where do I look for this option as nothing opens up automatically on the phone I did the original QR prompt with and if I hit the continue button on the TV I get 'Purchase or Rental Not Complete, wait a moment and try again'?? I've opened up my Apple ID in my iTunes settings account on my laptop and can see I have 'made a purchase' today for £0 but if I try and watch something on the TV it takes me back to the 'sign up for 3 months' button so I'm just in an endless loop! I've never had Apple TV on any device before so I know it's not that, it's how I authenticate it that is the issue! Help!

Can you sign out of the current Apple ID that is signed in and then sign back in with the desired Apple ID?

I can’t find where to do that on my tv. That’s the problem.
