 That would describe me, so I am happy. But I assume if you currently pay
 for Showtime (must be at least $9.99) and not P+, you will now get P+
 without ads for no additional cost (or less, if Showtime is currently more
 than $9.99). Seems like you should be happy.

Re: [TV orNotTV] consolidation

[Jim Ellwanger]

If I recall correctly, "Showtime Anytime" is a different app than just plain 
"Showtime."  (It's the same situation as "HBO Now" versus "HBO Go," which were 
two different apps, prior to the creation of HBO Max.)

What if you start at the "Sign In" link in the upper right of the Showtime 
Anytime website? https://www.showtimeanytime.com/

Re: [TV orNotTV] consolidation

[Jon Delfin]

I just brought up the Showtime app on the Roku

3 options of packages (sho, sho + mgm+, sho + starz)

free trials available before billing begins

if logging in with my cable account is an option, they're keeping that
hidden (nothing mentioned if I "press * to learn more")

Re: [TV orNotTV] consolidation

[PGage]

I see, hence your HBO analogy.

Still it seems that if you have Showtime (don’t they have some kind of
Showtime Now or Go) available thru streaming, that will now also give you
access to P+ ?

Re: [TV orNotTV] consolidation

[Jim Ellwanger]

Do you currently have access to the Showtime Anytime app using your cable 
company account login? I suspect, once this rebranding is complete, you will 
instead be able to log in to the P+ app with that login (which means you could 
drop your separate P+ subscription).

I get Showtime in my cable bundle, and pay for P+ separately. I can't break
Showtime out of the bundle without changing my account setup. Somehow, I am
not happy.

Re: [TV orNotTV] consolidation

[PGage]

I think they are saying if you currently pay $9.99 for P+Premium, you will
now get everything you had before plus Showtime at no additional cost. That
would describe me, so I am happy. But I assume if you currently pay for
Showtime (must be at least $9.99) and not P+, you will now get P+ without
ads for no additional cost (or less, if Showtime is currently more than
$9.99). Seems like you should be happy.

If you currently pay $4.99 (or whatever it is) for basic P+, you can stand
Pat, and not get Showtime, or you can upgrade the extra 5$ and get both P+
without ads and Showtime. Seems like that person should be happy too.

This sounds like a good Eval all around, which makes me certain that in 3
months they will be raising the price of “Paramount + with Showtime” to at
least $15.

Re: [TV orNotTV] consolidation

[Kevin M.]

So as a current P+ subscriber, I get showtime without having to pay extra
for it… and in return the streaming service gets an unnecessarily
complicated name like The Los Angeles Angels In Anaheim?

I can live with that.
