You have 3 months to activate your free trial from Nov. 1 after which it will expire.
Hopefully they‘ll release an Android TV app soon. The app from the Fire TV Stick is already working on the Shield TV, but it won‘t let me log in into my Apple ID.
That’s it? That’s the whole catalogue???? Not a single movie out of the iTunes catalogue?? Are they nuts?
It’s called TV+, not Movie+. Not sure why you expected otherwise!
You're only just learning this now? We've known this for months!
As long as it's free (with an apple product purchase) then i'm in.

I knew that they will only add their shows, but consider apple music + where they only include songs produced by apple and you had to pay for other songs. That would be nuts, right?

Agree. It should have some kind of “My Shows” tab (My Lists in Netflix) for easy navigation.
I opened the app and had a pop up window with a start watching button. Clicked on it and I get the following message:
"No videos. Your synced videos will appear here."
There are no buttons or any other way of going back. It's just an empty white screen with the text mentioned before.
I've never used Apple TV before so a bit of help would be appreciated. I have an iPad Air 3 bought about 2 weeks ago.

A technical point for anyone that needs subtitles: they say it has closed caption CC in 8 languages, but CC doesn't work over HDMI so that won't be true on the Apple TV.
I presume these must still be available on the app via TVs that still support them.
You should still get SDH subtitles however because they are sent as images rather than instructions to be decoded.

This post needs a health warning. I saw the $7.99/month before I noticed the reference to Australia and nearly died of shock.

Wow that's insane. So the Apple TV is the worst hardware for watching Apple TV+
I thought Apple was all about the hardware and software working together.
There’s literally less than 10 shows available. I was half expecting a few hundred movies too. Guess I’ll be restarting my Netflix account again 🙄
FYI, I’m a student and was instantly subscribed to Apple TV+ as part of my Apple Music student subscription.
Quite interested in 'For All Mankind' because I really loved BSG and it's an interesting idea- female astronauts.
Then they blew it for me because every single one of the women in the trailer is crying so it's the same old stereotypes wrapped up as something bold and new and I bet it's going to miss the mark in that case.
Would they show a trailer with the male astronauts crying? De we really think female astronauts would cry?
I don't.
A backward step from Kara Thrace then.

September 10th was the day it started!
I don't think there's anything you can do about it if your box is sitting at the end of an HDMI cable.
I understand Apple TV is native in some Samsung TVs, I think I read that, and eventually in others so I expect they will be available that way.
I do use subtitles a lot so it's a big thing for me but If they have SDH it'll do.
I use them either for languages or sometimes or just because the actors mumble or the sound is bad.
There are a lot of shows where I just can't make out what they are saying!
This.
The library will get bigger, but it will get bigger in the same pace that you finish the few shows that already exists. So for a single moment, there may be 2 or 3 shows that you can choose between. If those 2 or 3 shows are not what you want, then you're paying for nothing.
I understand that they're going into this business since analog TV is dying and streaming services has a very bright future. But it's gonna take a long time until they can compete with HBO, Netflix, and soon Disney.
I'll take the free year, but I'll likely unsubscribe after that if the library hasn't improved a lot. Although I must say that the good thing is the price, it's cheaper than all alternatives, and I don't have tons of time to watch TV anyway, so I don't know if the top tier of Netflix (I want ultra HD) is worth it for me.
“Most of the TV shows launching today will premiere with three episodes, with additional episodes to roll out each wee.”
Gives a whole new meaning to the word “streaming”!
