If your smart TV doesn’t offer you to have or install the Apple TV app, then another option is to connect an external HDMI streaming device that supports the Apple TV app, bypassing the TV’s smart app system. That can be an Apple TV box, Roku, Fire TV, PlayStation (4, 5), Xbox (One, One S, X, S), ‘Chromecast with Google TV’-dongle, or Nvidia Shield TV, or select external cable/satellite TV tuner boxes that support apps.


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

Less convenient, it is also possible to connect an iPhone or iPad to your TV using an HDMI adapter.

Computers (laptops) can also connect through HDMI to a TV as second screen.
