Apple TV+ and CBS All Access: No live CL matches?

[anson42]

I have a one yr free subscription to TV+ thanks to buying an iPhone, I suppose. Yesterday I subscribed to the new CBS All Access (and Showtime) bundle. I can say that access the CBS AA channel from within the TV app works well, but only for recorded content so far. The live UCL match going on as I type this (RBL vs PSG) is not available through the CBS AA channel. Rather, the listing in TV+ for this match take you to the CBS AA app itself where you have to register for a standalone CBS AA account! There is no listing within the CBS AA channel for live matches. Only pre-recorded highlight shows and replays of matches are present there.

Am I expecting too much? Are the CL live matches a part of this bundle? If not, I have to rethink this. Just the ability to watch highlights and replays isn't enough.

You can watch the matches, but not within the TV app. But they are accessible through the CBS app, which you can use with your Apple credentials:

Oh, I can use my Apple credentials? I'll give that a try. That's the missing piece, thanks!

That's good to know since it seems using the apple tv app some of the shows that are 4k on the cbs all access app aren't
