Apple TV QR code requested repeatedly

Screen is requesting an Apple TV QR code response every time I try to watch a program on Apple TV+.  I follow the prompts with my phone and the screen refreshes but surely I don’t have to do this every single time?  Isn’t there a way to confirm my Apple subscription one time and be done with it???  TV is a Samsung Frame 2019 but we are watching via Xfinity cable with a brand new router, not straight through the TV
