Apple TV + and Amazon firestick

I have Apple TV plus and an Amazon firestick. I cannot watch original content from the firestick.

I have tried everything. What am I missing?

I’m afraid that is as intended:

  1. Users on Fire TV devices and Android TV/Google TV devices would get the “How to Watch” blurb for all items that are not included in the catalog of the current subscription(s) or past buy-items for the Apple TV app. It basically says to do the financial transaction on a different device (e.g. iPhone).
  2. Prison Break is not part of the Apple TV+ subscription catalog. It was a show on Fox, now part of Disney. Apple TV+ content is focussed on Apple Original content instead. It streams on Hulu, if you subscribe to that.
  3. Prison Break is available under license for Apple and others to resell (per episode, or per season, or per complete series), through the Store on supported devices. Buy-to-keep, not as part of a subscription.


With the Apple TV app on your smart TV or third party streaming device, you can access:


➔ An Apple TV+ subscription covers just some of the content in the Apple TV app.
