HOW TO Stream and download content via Apple TV

1 Click to stream

Apple TV+ makes it easy to start watching selected content. Once you’ve found what you want, click Play First Episode to start streaming. Apple TV can stream in 4K; Apple recommends a 25Mbps internet connection for this.

2 AirPlay your show

Want to watch your show or film on the big screen? No problem. Click the AirPlay icon at the bottom left corner and you’ll see a list of compatible devices you can stream to – so, in this case, we’d select Samsung Q60, which is our TV.

3 Download for later

If you’re going to be travelling or going anywhere where you can’t guarantee a decent internet connection, you can download shows and movies to watch them later. This will add the downloaded episodes to your library.

4 Look in the Library

The Library automatically organises your movies and shows by genre and also creates some quick links so you can look for features such as 4K HDR content. It also tells you how much space your library is using.

5 Explore the episodes

For TV programmes, the Library organises them by show and series/ season. Clicking on the name of a show with more than one downloaded episode will open it up so you can see the synopsis of each individual one.

6 Add to playlists

Once your shows or movies have fully downloaded you can drag them to playlists just like you would with any other file in your Library. You can’t edit the information about Apple TV+ or purchased downloads, though.
