(We’ll get to the Hulu and PlayStation versions shortly.) Likewise, if you want to cancel the service, you must do so through either Roku or Apple, depending on which provider you signed up with. That means you need an Apple TV, iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, or Roku media streamer to sign up for Showtime’s standalone service. Instead of handling sign-ups and billing directly, Showtime is passing those duties on to Apple and Roku. Showtime says there are no blackouts of any kind, and all on-demand programming should appear at the same time that it airs on TV. That includes original series such as Homeland and Dexter, movies, comedy specials, sports programming, documentaries, and “after hours” material.
Showtime’s streaming service offers live feeds of both the east- and west-coast channels (no matter where you live), along with a substantial back catalog of on-demand video.
