AppleTv + streaming to older Tv and old Apple Tv Box issue

My AppleTv Box and SharpTV appear to work only in 720K format. When I try to stream a movie in AppleTv+ on my Iphone15 using screen sharing I get “There is a problem loading this content”. Is there a workaround?

iPhone 15 Plus, iOS 17

The Apple TV+ service requires 3rd generation or later. If your Apple TV box is 2nd generation (2010), then that doesn’t support Apple TV+, and that includes through AirPlay. The streaming service may set a minimum system requirement for the receiving device.
