Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

I am using the built in app on a brand new Sony tv. When I try to buy or rent a movie it only shows a “ways to watch” button. There is no button for rent or buy? I’m logged in and can watch other Apple content just can’t rent or buy anything?

I’m afraid that policy changed in early April for undisclosed reasons.

Get the Apple TV app or Apple TV+ app on your smart TV, streaming device, or game console - Apple Support

2. On Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, and Sony TV devices, you can't purchase content from the Apple TV app. You can buy, rent, or subscribe on another supported device and then watch in the Apple TV app on your Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, or Sony TV device.
