Apple TV+ unwatchable in web browser

I've been watching Apple TV+ via a web browser on my PC for over a year. Last night and today , it will play a while and then just hang. It's unwatchable. Does anyone know if this is temporary or permanent. If I can't watch it this way, it's of no use to me and I'll ask for a refund. I can't find anything about what to try to get it working. Netflix and Amazon Prime work just fine in the same browser. I use Edge mostly, but tried Firefox and had the same issue.

Fortunately for me, I had a System Restore point from 4 days ago. I restored to that point and it fixed it. I have no clue what happened. At one point, I did a "Network Reset" at Microsoft's suggestion. Evidently, that's a bad idea. I also tried multiple network adapter drivers and who knows what else trying to get my local (private) network going. As it turns out, the problem was Virtual Box, which I have installed. The last update of Virtual Box creates an Ethernet adapter property with a long name. I unchecked that and it fixed my network. All the other work was fruitless and frustrating. I still do not know what the reset did to break apple TV+ using a browser.

Thanks for the reply and the info on the app. Will check it out.
