I have had a subscription to Acorn for many years. There is no one in my family that watches it but me. However, many times lately I am getting an error that I can’t watch the episode because too many people are signed into my account. This is so frustrating. What do I need to do to stop these messages? The lineups are great!

Review for ATV app not programming.

Acorn’s shows are still great. The Apple TV app is not.
I subscribe to the standalone Acorn app (not the Apple TV Channel). BritBox on the same Apple TV shows up in Continue Watching. Acorn does not. Acorn isn’t even listed under Settings → Apps → TV → Connect to TV.
I tried the usual fixes: signed in, played a new episode, force-quit, restarted the Apple TV, confirmed the app is current (3.0.42 / 371). No change. Opening Acorn from inside the Apple TV app just sends me back to the standalone app.
Please restore the Apple TV app connection so in-progress shows appear in Continue Watching again. The catalog is worth keeping. The integration shouldn’t be this broken.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
