I was playing around with the new iOS 11 dock and deleted the new TV app. For some reason the TV app doesn't show up on the app store. Nor does it show up on my purchased list. Anyone know how to get it back or am I stuck with having to restore iOS 10 and upgrading -again just to install this stock app?

As a workaround you can just redownload the old Videos app. I did the same thing thinking it was for Apple TV which I don’t have. Then realized it was the replacement for Videos. So I looked and its not on the App Store, but the old Videos app is there so you can just redownload that one for now and it still works and still has all your purchased movies etc.
 
OK I restored the TV app by restoring my 128GB iPad Air from a recent iOS 10 backup. Took a bit of time because the device had 110GB of content but everything is good now.
