Hi - I can open Apple TV on my Hisense TV & it plays trailers fine but does not allow me to play the shows or films.
Subscription is paid & rest of my services work fine but it AppleTV simply doesn’t work properly.
Also cannot remove app from the TV to reinstall.
All solution suggestions welcome.
Thank you

Hi - Thx.
Yes Vidaa. Yes AppleTV+ icon / app.
Non play happens to all films & all shows, no exceptions.
All log in & network details 100% correct. Opens app fine, plays trainers fine but NEVER plays content.
No message at all just a blank / black screen & halted timer. That’s whether I play trailer (trailer is fine) or skip it.
strange thing is can scroll timeline with keeping pressed & see scenes.
suggestions welcome & thx again for taking the time.

You may want to send feedback to Apple, to reach those who work behind-the-scenes ... they likely won't reply, yet if it is a glitch others are experiencing too, we may see an update that addresses it.

Re: "Apple TV running trailers but not playing shows / films"
You may want to check that your TV is completely set up, and signed into with your Apple ID,
and to read through the "Need help" tips in Apple Support's article below
Get the Apple TV app or Apple TV+ app on your smart TV or streaming device - Apple Support
As you have subscribed to Apple TV+ you would be able to watch Apple Original TV shows and movies on your compatible devices with the Apple TV app.
See how to use the Apple TV app to watch movies, TV shows, and live content.
Lots more info. in this resource: Apple TV User Guide - Apple Support
What smart platform is running on this Hisense TV? Is it VIDAA?
Does this TV have the specialized Apple TV+ app (note the Plus in the app name), or the full Apple TV app with additional buy, rent, and subscribe options (Store, Channels)?
What show or film were you trying to watch? Please give a recent example.
What happens instead? Do you get an error message? What does it say exactly?
Many thx but all is set up properly. Seems to be a glitch & no clear advice from Apple on how to fix.
Good idea, will do. Thx.
HiSense Support have a support page for fimware updates and app downloads ... may be contacting HiSense support may reveal some help ?
