Store in the Apple TV app on Mac
The Store in the Apple TV app is your all-in-one destination to browse, buy, and rent the world’s best movies and TV shows, and subscribe to Apple TV channels.
Once you find something you want to watch, you can purchase it, rent it (if it’s a movie), or choose how to watch it if it’s available on multiple channels and apps. If it’s available to start playing immediately, you’ll get the default channel or app that lets you watch it in the highest-quality version.
