When you first open the App Store, you’ll be on the Discover page (or the Featured page if you’re using an older version of tvOS). Swipe right on the top menu and choose Search (denoted by a magnifying glass). If you don’t see the top menu, swipe down on the remote to reveal it. Type Vudu into the search box. You can also search by voice by holding the Siri button on your remote (it has a microphone icon on it) and saying, “Vudu. " Choose Vudu from the list of apps in the search results. On the Vudu page, select the Get button to download the Vudu app; it is a free download. If you’ve previously downloaded Vudu, the Get button will have an icon that looks like a cloud with an arrow pointing down. After the app downloads, the Get button will change to an Open button. Select it to launch the app.
How to Sign in to Vudu on Apple TV
Now that Vudu is downloaded on your Apple TV, you need to sign in to your Vudu account to start watching. You need an existing account to use Vudu with Apple TV.
After launching Vudu, scroll to the Settings menu at the top. You’ll start on the Account tab. Click the Sign In button. Sign in using your Walmart account or your Vudu account. If you have Vudu installed on your iPhone or iPad, you can sign in using your device by launching the app. Navigate to Settings > Account to sync your credentials across devices without having to manually enter your password.
How to Rent and Buy Movies on Vudu for Apple TV
While you can watch purchased or rented movies or TV shows using the Vudu app, and you have access to the full Movies on Us free movie catalog, you can’t rent or purchase movies using the Apple TV Vudu app. You can add to your wishlist, but you’ll have to go to the website to make the purchase.
Once you buy or rent a Vudu movie on another device, it should appear on your Apple TV in seconds.
