re: Apple TV -- streaming service

is there a way to sideload Apple TV on my Sony Android TV? i have the correct 8.0 update, but go into google store and it isn't to be found. seems odd, but maybe bc my tv is older, but gets everything else and could've sworn it was there before. please help. thanks in advance.

Technically $49.99 for a year is the best deal. It’s all ad free, but even after a year and a half there isn’t that much content to stream, so maybe don’t get a year unless there’s a lot on the channel you want to watch.

nah, just want to keep up with a few series', but not having on Android tv through Android tv is a real inconvenience and will make me use less. so m2m seems best option. thanks Deck.

It is on Android TV and Smart TVs. These are the specific devices and TVs that support it.

Keep an eye on your Target Circle offers. I had an offer for different Apple services and one of the offers was for Apple TV+ free for 4 months.

I don't think so. Apple is very protective of their products.

re: Apple TV -- streaming service

K. No worries. Still can use Xbox or fire cube. Just tv most convenient, but I am really getting into Mythic Quest and want to continue. Rob E. and F. Murray just kill it and remaining cast very good too. And finish Lasso and Morning Show. I think $5 a month is fine for all that and some others even if it’s a couple extra remote button presses i have to do.

re: Apple TV -- streaming service

This is a very good offer. Works for existing subs and you don't have to claim until July 22, 2022.
​​​​​​I got freebie year from iphone in May of this year, so I will stack next year and get almost to end of year. Good stuff.

I do really like their original content, hope they keep it up (and they better not can Mythic Quest).

re: Apple TV -- streaming service

I just bought a year's subscription a few weeks ago. I wonder if I can still redeem this offer now

Seems like you can depending on how you subscribed. As long as you follow their steps and use your PS5 adding the App and logging in.

So I think I asked this, but seriously couldn’t find.

Can you watch movies bought on iTunes on Apple +?

Yes but you won’t be able to watch the iTunes extras unless you are watching it on an Apple device.

T-Mobile is giving one year of Apple TV plus for free on the Magenta and Magenta Max plans. This starts on Wednesday. It’s for new and current Apple TV plus subscribers.

Some think this is to make up for the data breach debacle.


I’m on a cheaper grandfather plan, so I don’t qualify for this offer.

I'm on Sprint, through T-Mobile. I wonder if we qualify. My wife got a data breech notification text last week from them.

From the questions section:


Eligible plans for Sprint customers include Unlimited Plus, Unlimited Premium, Military Plus, Military Premium, 55+, and Deaf or Hard of Hearing/Visually Impaired rate plans.



And if you're currently paying for a Apple TV plus subscription, it will be paused in favor of this promotion

Sweet, I just changed plans, so I qualify for this. So that’s 2 free years for me. Perfect price.
