What model TV is that? Is the app on your TV called “Apple TV app” or “Apple TV+ app”? They’re quite different in this respect. One has a Store and Library, while the other does not. Rent movies require the former.

Get the Apple TV app or Apple TV+ app on your smart TV or streaming device - Apple Support

Unfortunately, these editions are not user choice, instead it depends on the exact model TV or streaming device.

Unsupported models TV for the full Apple TV app can choose to connect an external streaming device that does support this full Apple TV app. That can be the Apple TV box, Roku, Fire TV, PlayStation (4, 5), Xbox (One, One S, X, S), ‘Chromecast with Google TV’-dongle, Nvidia Shield TV box.
