The TV Shows icon has dissappeared from my Apple TV, so I have no access to my purchsed shows. How do I get it back?

I just noticed today that my TV shows icon has dissappeared from the Apple TV screen. I do not have aceess to my purchased content, unless I use my iPad and Airplay, which I do not want to do all the time.


I have restored all settings and dowloaded all software updates.


Is there s remedy to correct this?


Thanks,


Evi

Welcome to the Apple Community.


There appears to be a large increase in this type of problem at this time, it seems that that there is a problem at Apple's end, but I couldn't at all be sure.


There are no issues being reported at Apple’s System Status page, but this status may yet be updated and it may be you need to try again a little later.


This isn't affecting me here in the UK, where exactly are you.


So far I have noted users in the following locations having similar problems:


USA


If this is a problem at Apple’s end, it rarely happens, however when it does only Apple can fix it. When this has occurred previously it has usually been resolved in a few hours or slightly more.

Just want to add some details to this, I am having the same problem: no TV Show app on Apple TV 3rd gen.


I was watching a TV show I had just purchased this morning, The power on the Apple TV was disconnected and when I turned it back on, the icon for the TV app was gone.


I live in Minnesota U.S.


I also restored my Apple TV and went through the updates again to no avail.


Again, no Question just wanted to add a second story to help the process.


P.S. I was right in the middle of the newest Breaking Bad!!!!!!!
