Hello swiesen,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.


Let's delete and reinstall the app using these steps:


"How to get the Apple TV app or Apple TV+ app

  1. Go to your device's app store and search for the Apple TV app or Apple TV+ app. If you don't see the app that you're looking for, check your device's compatibility.
  2. Download the app.
  3. Open the app and follow the instructions to complete setup.

If you're not signed in with your Apple ID, open the app and go to Settings > Accounts. Then choose a sign in option.

  • Sign In On Mobile Device: Use your phone's camera to scan the QR code on the TV screen. Then follow the instructions on your mobile device.
  • On This TV: Use your TV remote to manually sign in with your Apple ID and complete setup."


Additional details can be found here: Get the Apple TV app or Apple TV+ app on your smart TV or streaming device


If the issue persists, can you provide a few more details? Is your TV up to date? Are you seeing any errors or alerts? Also, are you able to access Apple TV on any other devices?


Cheers!
