Apple TV hardware / tvOS setup guide
The third-generation Apple TV lacks this app-download route. The Apple TV app, an Apple subscription and the Apple TV streaming box are separate entities.
Identify the box rather than just the television app.
Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD have App Store download routes; third-generation Apple TV does not have that route. The Apple TV hardware, Apple TV app and separate content memberships are different entities. Give the hardware model when asking for setup help.
The platform guidance below describes the manufacturer’s route. Current StarShare compatibility for the selected app, account and device still needs confirmation.
Before entering account details.
- Identify the hardware model.
- On Apple TV 4K or HD, open App Store and inspect the intended app.
- Follow the listing's Get or purchase flow.
Keep the hardware model, operating system, app publisher/version and account method together. Installing a player does not itself supply a StarShare subscription or a separate platform membership.
Use an observable first test.
Use the actual television app listing and test the remote. Do not treat an iPhone listing as proof of an Apple TV version.
After installing the confirmed compatible app, contact StarShare through WhatsApp to request the one-day free trial. Use your normal screen, output path and network. Check one known source, compare another permitted item and record the time of any failure.
Preserve credentials before changing a configuration. A refresh, app restart, data-clear operation and full device reset can have different effects. Use the actual platform prompt and avoid destructive recovery as the first diagnostic action.
Platform references and checking scope.
