How do I watch apple tv

I cannot get apple to let me watch their app. This is the most time and effort I have ever spent trying to view an app. I have put codes in 3 times. Tried 2 different emails. Nothing gets me past the How to Watch screen.

Nothing gets me past the How to Watch screen.

The How to Watch message may appear on a few select devices that currently do not allow in-app transactions through the Apple TV app. The message says exactly how to proceed.

I got it working at about 3am. I logged out of my Apple ID and signed back in, and then it stopped with the emails, and entering code after code after code. Something was wrong with Apple. I did everything right. It is a Fire TV. TV said to sign up online and online kept sending me emails to enter codes. Never ending loop, until I gave up and signed out of Apple. I never got an Apple ID until I Signed out and signed in again. I was stuck in the middle of getting the ID. Strange.
