Apple TV+ Not Supported on Your TV? Your Options
Older or budget TVs may not support the Apple TV app at all. That does not stop you from watching Apple TV+ – here are your best routes.
Ways to watch on an unsupported TV
- Add a streaming device. A Roku, Fire TV Stick, Chromecast with Google TV, or Apple TV box plugs into HDMI and runs the Apple TV app.
- Use a game console. PlayStation and Xbox both have the Apple TV app.
- AirPlay or mirror from an iPhone, iPad, or Mac if your TV or an attached device supports AirPlay 2.
- Connect a laptop by HDMI and play Apple TV+ in a browser at the Apple TV website.
A basic streaming stick is the cheapest and most reliable upgrade for any older TV.
