Unable to watch programs on apple tv app on tv

When i try to use the Apple TV app via my Sky TV satellite service it’s asking me to sign in on my mobile device or gives me a QR code, but when I do sign in on my iphone it still shows the same message on my tv - so although i can see Apple tv programs on my iphone i still cannot see them on the TV - help!

iPhone 8, iOS 15

Try scanning the QR code with the Camera app on your iPhone. That is supposed to give you follow-up instructions.

Or find the in-app Settings in the Apple TV app on the cable box to sign in manually by entering your Apple ID and its password.

Sign in to the Apple TV app - Get started - Apple TV app user guide - Apple Support


Else the support staff may help guide you through the process. Contact Apple for support and service (phone numbers) or start your support request online (chat/​email/​callback).
