Apps Apple TV app now available on compatible Roku devices and TVs

Stumbled across the news on Slickdeals, figured I would share:

The Apple TV app is coming to Roku devices today

Roku owners will be able to stream Apple’s original shows on November 1st.

Apparently MoviesAnywhere purchases can transfer to the Apple TV app based on a comment I read.

I have a 65" Roku TV and loaded the app. When I play a 4k movie, the HDR logo pops up when the movie starts which is nice to know. Unfortunately, my LG OLED is too old to get the app.

Unfortunately, movies from Paramount, Lionsgate, and MGM will not migrate from Movies Anywhere to a USA iTunes account.

It runs do slow!

Doesn't run too slow on my Roku tv. It's not as fast as my Apple TV 4k box but it's way faster than the 3rd generation which I also have.

I keep getting "This video isn't available to watch. Wait a moment, then try again." on all of my library titles.

I have a USA, UK, and Canada iTunes Apple ID on my Roku TV app. I am able to switch IDs and have my library switch and play movies.

Are people having issues with the Roku stick or app on a Roku TV?

 

[stuuke]

I have the Roku Streaming Stick+. I checked to make sure the Roku software is up to date and also deleted and reinstalled the Apple Tv app. So far no luck. I'm on hold waiting for Apple tech support. Weird that it seems to be working for some people.
