Apple TV on my old TV

I have subscribed to Apple TV. I don't have a smart TV. I use COX cable. I can't get Apple TV to show up in the Apps option on my TV.

I don't have COX cable but the following indicates that you need to have "Contour or Contour Stream Player service."

It also states:

"Note: The Apple TV+ app is not available on the Samsung XG2V2 and the Cisco Explorer 9865HDC Contour boxes, however, all other Contour boxes are compatible."

See that and other information at https://www.cox.com/residential/support/apple-tv+-app.html


If you don't have or cannot get the right Cox box, another option would be to add a Roku player https://www.roku.com/products/players

or other streaming player device including Apple TV box Apple TV 4K - Apple

to your TV. Either of those devices connect to your TV (if you have an available HDMI connection on the TV) and use your internet service.
