The Apple TV App Store became available with the 4th generation model. It is not available for earlier models. Paramount+ says to support Apple TV (4th generation or later). Peacock TV says to support Apple TV (4th generation or later).

IF you want additional content you need to upgrade to an Apple TV HD or 4K model. I would recommend the 4K model. You can find them on Apple's store or Amazon or a variety of other resellers. In short, your Apple TV 3 simply does not have the ability to add the App Store which is necessary to add additional apps. Please do yourself a favor and upgrade to the 4K model, it is a HUGE upgrade.
