what is a tv provider

A TV provider is a company that provides television viewing via cable, satellite dish, or online streaming methods. It is the company that you pay to get your television service, like a cable company, a satellite company, or a telco. The TV provider feature is a preinstalled feature on iPhones and iPads that allows you to sign in to your multimedia apps so that you can access them on your device. When you sign in to your TV provider account, apps supporting your TV provider account are enabled to use your account. The TV provider feature is designed to protect your information and enable you to choose what you share. By enabling the TV provider feature, you are allowing your TV provider and third-party apps to access and share your subscription account information.
