All streaming services require an app - HBO, Hulu, Netflix, Xfinity, DirectTV, etc. The apps need to be built to run on different equipment - Vizio Smart TVs, Samsung Smart TVs, Roku boxes, Firesticks, etc. If the equipment is too old or the app creator doesn't feel the market is there then they won't build an app for that particular equipment.
In many cases you will find that even if the Smart TV is able to run the app it is slow. The TV is optimized to provide a pretty picture but doesn't always do well with running a program/app to receive someone's streaming service. Rather than struggle with the TV you might want to look into a Roku box or Fire stick. These devices are designed to run the apps well and let the TV provide the picture - the best of both worlds.
I like the Fire stick but others prefer the Roku. Take a look at both and choose the one that's best for you.
