Yes, they are expensive, but the Apple TV streaming box (HD or 4K) are still arguably the best portable streamers that you can buy. Most people don't think of them or use them as portable devices – it's true – but the Apple TV is actually a great gadget to take on vacation or a work trip.
The most popular video apps often require a subscription fee. Renting a movie on iTunes usually costs $5.99. For those who go for the most obvious options, cable may actually be the cheaper alternative. Fortunately, you can watch free TV shows and movies on Apple TV from a variety of sources.
Apple TV + is Apple Original content. It's a channel found within the Apple TV App. The shows included in your subscription will have the ?tv+ logo on them - those are free. This is not like Netflix or Prime etc, where all is included in the one App.
Is StarzPlay free on Amazon Prime? No. StarzPlay is a 'channel' on the service and will cost you an extra £4.99 per month on top of your Amazon Prime subscription (£7.99 per month).
