Apple has disabled the option to rent or buy content from its Apple TV streaming content service on televisions running the Android TV operating system developed by Google.
Google announced last July that Android TV users could access Apple's streaming content services from the then new applications, instead of continuing to do so from the website.
However, the latest update to the Apple TV application for Android TV has ended the option to rent or buy movies directly from televisions with this operating system, as confirmed by FlatpanelsHD after analyzing reports from several Reddit users.

Now, instead of 'Buy' or 'Rent', the platforms include a 'How to watch' button, which indicates that you can "buy, rent or subscribe to Apple TV on iPhone, iPad and other streaming systems" from Apple.
As reported by this portal, this option is also no longer available in other 'gadgets', such as the Nvidia Shield multimedia 'streaming' device or Google's Chromecast, to transfer content from mobile terminals to television screens.

This change, by contrast, hasn't affected Roku TV device owners, who will still be able to buy and rent content from the Apple-developed app.
However, the option to rent or buy series or movies from Apple TV is still available in the previous version of Android TV applications, so users who have not downloaded the latest version can continue to purchase content. Those who have already updated the system will continue to have access to the library of previously rented or purchased movies and series.
From FlatpanelsHD they have indicated that the application update has not affected the Apple TV+ subscription service, which can still be accessed from the Apple TV application.
