How to get Apple TV+ onto my television?

I have the Apple TV box. Now trying to access Apple TV+ programming on my television. I prefer to watch on a TV rather than a computer.

For Apple TV+, the Apple TV box needs to be of the 3rd generation or later (model A1427 or later). Which model do you have?

That is what the Apple TV box is for. Connect it by HDMI, set your TV to take input from the corresponding HDMI port, launch the Apple TV app, and select Apple TV+ content there.

It is also possible to use the Apple TV app on select modern smart TVs. It is also possible to use select third party HDMI streaming devices connected to a TV, to use the Apple TV app that way.
