Subscribing to Apple TV Channels then using their apps?

[davidg4781]

I get my HBO free through mobile phone on AT&T, too.

When I set up AT&T TV, I used a separate username/password than my main AT&T login, and had all sorts of issues getting it to authenticate with HBO GO properly, but somehow got it to do so. It seemed to be a problem with cached authentication tokens or something.

Anyway, I managed to merge my AT&T logins into one (login via att.com and go through your profile to find the merge accounts link), and things have been simple since then. HTH!

Also, Make sure you're using HBO GO and not HBO NOW.

I’ll have to check out that merge thing. I have one with an email, one without.

Maybe the problem is it’s only showing Popular Movies. I want to browse through all of them.

In the TV app scroll down to the HBO channel and select it. Either one of the icons below.

Then scroll down to see the Movies icon and select it:

This is how you browse all movies in the Channel.

That’s working now. Last night it was only showing a few movies.

Either way, they’re in no order I can figure out. Bad experience, for me at least. I know some don’t care. I have a friend that has an Apple TV but can’t be bothered to connect her channels because she can put on live TV.

Either way, I’ll just go through the Channel’s respective apps.

I completely agree with you that the movies and show need to be organized better in the Channels. At the very least just put them in alphabetical order.

I agree with that too! But it doesn’t bother me enough to give up the sound benefits.

I’m new to Apple TV4k and some channels like Starz and Sundance I added and it just used the Apple ID. fine.

But then that doesn’t include their app on my iPhone.

Ended up it looks like with two subscriptions for CBS All Access. And Hulu doesn’t use Apple ID, required creating an account. Entering info on a TV is a nightmare and forget those good complex passwords. I assume I can use phone as keyboard though.

Is there a roadmap? Seems very much patchwork and unApple.
