Whenever i attempt to login to my apple tv account it just shows "Unable to sign in. iCloud isn't set up for this Apple ID Account,
Rather, iCloud services have since changed beyond what this model Apple TV box can do.

even thought the email i use to connect is ***@icloud.com
Don’t confuse Apple cloud services with the domain name of an email address. The first isn’t compatible anymore with your device, but the email is fine (independent).
I have confirmed that AVD is off too.
I don’t know that abbreviation in this context.
What is the problem? i know its an old device but i have seen many people still connect to it. I cant even connect to airplay with it. I can however, connect to Redbull TV, Amazon Prime, And netflix on it and watched tv, even the radio app works.

AirPlay should work, but for select services though, as long as the box is “activated” with a valid Apple ID. Many streaming providers now require an AirPlay 2-compatible receiver, which is 4th generation or later, or AirPlay-enabled smart TV, or Roku. Other streaming providers might block AirPlay (Netflix, select cable TV services) to any AirPlay device. Some web streamers don’t make any effort to make their streams AirPlay compatible (hit or miss). ‘AirPlay 2’ seems like the biggest obstacle here, imho. See the sites of the content providers for details on AirPlay compatibility.
