@HB49  what are you trying to watch?

 

if it's something from the likes of Disney or discovery you would need to create an account for that service if you don't already have one

@HB49 All of the apps will require you to setup an account albeit in many cases it is free such as with BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Ch4, My5 etc.

 

Apps such as Disney + and Apple + require an additional subscription.

 

Provided you don't do a factory reset you should only need to setup and sign in once.  However, having said that I have noticed that Discovery + often requires you to sign back in after they (Discovery) have done an update.
