r/appletv on Reddit: AppleTv+ not working on Samsung TV?
May 25, 2024 -

App was working on my Samsung TV fine until this week? Keep just sitting there with the loading wheel. Tried hard restarting TV. Managed to get a login screen, hadn't logged out but that's okay, tried re-logging it but was back to the spinning wheel after login.

Super frustrating. Anyone else having issues?
