Find out if your Apple TV handles this before paying more than a dollar
Test real streaming quality, channel availability, and Apple TV compatibility for 24 hours before committing to a subscription.
Why there is a small charge at all
A completely free trial pulls in a lot of signups that were never going to evaluate anything, which slows the whole system down. $1.00 for 24 hours keeps it fast and available for people actually deciding whether their Apple TV setup works well with this.
What one dollar covers
- The full live channel lineup for the entire 24 hours
- Up to 4K on Apple TV 4K where the source supports it
- One device, fully active
The boundaries
- Anything past the 24 hours mark — it stops on its own
- Two devices running the same login at once
- A refund once the trial has actually been used (see the Refund Policy)
From this form to your Apple TV home screen
Submit the form below and activation details land by email shortly after. From there it is either the App Store install or a quick sideload — the Setup Guide covers both.
What to have ready
25 Mbps, sustained
Not just a peak number — held steady is what actually matters for smooth 4K.
Your Apple TV, powered on
Or any other supported device, if you want to test somewhere else too.
An email you actually check
Activation details land there — use the same one if you subscribe afterward.
Supported devices
Apple TV
The 4th-generation Apple TV HD and every Apple TV 4K model run a compatible player app from the App Store, or a sideloaded one if you prefer that route.
iPhone & iPad
A compatible player from the App Store is all an iPhone or iPad needs — useful as a backup screen or for casting to the Apple TV.
Smart TV
Samsung and LG Smart TVs work too, through their own compatible player apps, if the Apple TV is not always hooked up to that particular screen.
Android TV
Google TV and Android TV boxes are fully supported as an alternative or a second-room setup.
Fire TV & Firestick
Works on Amazon Fire TV and Firestick as well, for anyone running more than one type of streaming box.
Android Phone & Tablet
Any Android phone or tablet handles this through a compatible player app, same as on iOS.
Windows
A desktop player app covers Windows 10 and 11 machines for anyone who wants it on a computer too.
macOS
macOS runs the same kind of desktop player, useful for a quick check without touching the Apple TV at all.
No separate "trial version" to figure out
The trial uses the exact same App Store or sideload process as a paid subscription — nothing simplified, nothing different. The Setup Guide has the exact steps for your Apple TV.
What one day actually settles
You are on the real infrastructure with the real channel lineup, so this genuinely tests the thing you would be paying for. What it cannot fix is your own connection or an Apple TV generation that struggles with 4K — but knowing that before paying for months is the entire point.
After the clock runs out
Access stops on its own after 24 hours — nothing charges automatically beyond that. If your Apple TV handled it well, plans are on the Pricing page whenever you are ready.
Where the refund line sits
Given the small fee and short window, trial charges generally are not refundable once activation details have been sent — full terms are on the Refund Policy page.
Trial FAQ
Will the trial tell me if my Apple TV generation is good enough?
Yes — that is exactly what 24 hours on the real service is for. Older Apple TV HD units cap at 1080p; Apple TV 4K models can push higher where the source allows it.
Can I run the trial more than once?
It is meant as a one-time evaluation per customer, which is part of what keeps the price this low.
Is the trial a cut-down version of the app?
No — same channel lineup, same servers as a paid subscription. What runs during the trial is what you would get afterward.
What if I cannot get a player app installed at all?
Check the Apple TV section of the Setup Guide — it covers both the App Store route and sideloading. If it is still not working, contact support with your Apple TV generation.
