Original Apple TV doesn't stream apple tv+? Is this intentional or is mine buggy?
I've updated the software to latest and I've also tried mirroring - which works for all things except Apple TV Content (Films, TV Shows, etc).
the message I get is - problem loading content or something...
Please advise. thanks

If you used AirPlay Screen Mirroring, then you would at least have an Apple TV (2nd generation).
Devices you can use with the Apple TV app and Apple TV+ - Apple Support
It seem you need at least a 3rd generation Apple TV device.
Other users of Apple TV (2nd generation) have also been unsuccessful with AirPlay of Apple TV+ content.
The original Apple TV is from 2007 and its a white and silver slab, that doesn't even have access to the iTunes store any more.
Its understandable one of those would not support a service such as Apple TV+.
If you have a black box, then you have at least a Second Generation Apple TV.

To get the Apple TV app where you can access the Apple TV+ service you need a 3rd generation Apple TV at least.
For mirroring you apparently also need a 3rd gen Apple TV.
I mean... I have the 2nd Generation Apple tv - (720p HD)
Thanks for the response.
So it doesn't work for the Original Apple TV?
Unfortunately not.
No, second gen is not supported. Likely due to the fact that content in Apple TV+ is 1080p and higher, so cannot display on 720p.
