Not sure exactly what you are trying to accomplish.

  • Is it the Apple TV box?
  • What brand of TV do you have?


I have Xfinity, Apple TV Box, LG TV and even use the Apple TV+ service without the Apple TV box. I can do any of these options:

  • Xfinity has the Apple TV app on their service to watch Apple TV+ shows.
  • The TV has the Apple TV app to watch Apple TV+ shows
  • The TV has the Xfinity App to stream the Xfinity service
  • Apple TV box hooks up to the TV using an additional HDMI port and can be accessed by changing the input on the TV remote.


If you do not use the games on your Apple TV and only use it to watch the shows, then it is more convenient to use the Apple TV+ service on Xfinity or using the App on your TV. This all depends on the TV that you have and if it has the ability to download apps. The Apple TV box is more useful for the older TV's that don't have apps or if you like to play the games on Apple TV.
