    I’m new to the forum so please excuse me if this topic has been covered elsewhere. When I launch the Apple TV ap I can watch trailers for shows but all other content is either pixelated on half the screen or I get a message saying that content is not available and to check the internet connection. I am properly logged in and have no problems streaming on other devices. I’ve tried all the usual stuff ie powering the Aura off and on, changing from Ethernet to WiFi, logging out of other devices etc. Any help would be appreciated.

    Same issue. Anything on Apple TV I try and watch which I have purchased separately doesn’t work but if you have a subscription to it, any shows or films are ok. Luckily I have Apple TV app on my tv so the aura version being goosed isn’t an issue. I know that doesn’t help but at least it’s not something down to you.

    That’s interesting, as I also have a subscription and can get stuff no problem via my Apple TV box but nothing via the Aura box

    Sorry. I was working from old info. What I stated was true weeks ago…and now trying it today nothing works at all - the situation you find yourself in.

    Ugh - exactly the same problem with Apple TV on the Aura here:
    "Video Unavailable - There is a problem loading this video. If this continues, please check your internet connection"

    Is there any solution to this? It's a bit ironic considering the Apple app is allegedly a kosher one, unlike my sideloaded Netflix one which works fine...

    Well interestingly, in fact there is a setting which allows you to restrict viewing to SD only (I can't remember the exact wording). I just tried that and was then able to view Apple content, in SD.

    I don't have (or want) an Ultra HD TV, but I do have an HD one which works very nicely for my needs: I'm certainly not going to watch SD stuff though. Firstly, I don't see why the Apple app works as "Ultra" or "SD" only, with nothing in between, and secondly, why it can't work out for itself what type of output it needs. Who is responsible for it? Is it Apple?

    I have raised a case with Apple about this issue of their app not working on the aura.

    I would be interested to hear how you got on with Apple Support regarding this issue
