All the TV Channels One Wants
An individual who has the Apple TV app can simply subscribe only to the channels he opts for, minus the need to download any mobile app. If you are among those who are interested in trying the channels from Apple TV, you'll be amazed to know that you can watch content that comes with your subscription right inside the said TV app from Apple. According to Apple, you can do this across all of your Apple devices.
The Apple TV Channels are the streaming services an Apple user can purchase and stream directly via the TV app. For example, he may choose to subscribe only to "Showtime" via the Apple TV channels. If done so, all billing, as well as the hosting of the video, are both courtesies of Apple. Meaning, you don't need an extra device to enjoy the video channels of your choice if you already have an iPad, Mac, iPhone, or Apple TV.
