On your smart TV, sign in to the Apple TV app through the in-app Settings (sprockets wheel icon) with the Apple ID account that has the Apple TV+ subscription.


What is your model TV? Is it listed as supporting the Apple TV app?

List of Apple TV app-supported devices - Apple

All the ways to watch Apple TV+ - Apple Support


Does the TV have the Apple TV app pre-installed? If not, then see if it is available as installable app.

Use apps on your Samsung smart TV and projector - Samsung Support

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

Some models may have the full Apple TV app (with iTunes Store content, Apple TV+, Apple TV app Channels), other models [older and lower end] may have the Apple TV+ app (with just Apple TV+ content). Unlisted models may have neither.
