Showtime Anytime is now available for the Xbox 360. And it works with Comcast Xfinity (Roku is still blocked).
Providers listed in the app:
AT&T Uverse
Blue Ridge Communication
Brighthouse Networks
Century Link prism
Charter
Cox
DirecTV
Google fiber
Grande Communication
MCTV
Optimum
Time Warner Cable
Verizon FiOS
Xfinity
Showtime's Anytime TV service starts streaming on your Xbox 360
If you're hanging on to an Xbox 360, you now have an easy way to catch up on Nurse Jackie or Penny Dreadful without reaching for the DVR remote. Showtime Anytime has finally reached Microsoft's previous-generation game console, letting you stream both live and on-demand shows so long as you already get Showtime through a conventional TV provider. It won't please cord cutters any more than earlier Anytime releases because of that limitation, but it should be handy for a bedroom TV. And don't fret, Xbox One owners -- there's an app coming for the newer system later this year, so you won't be Showtime-free for much longer.

Re: Showtime Anytime
I have a Roku and I have a Showtime as part of my Charter cable package. I used to not have any problem with Showtime Anytime, but, lately I cannot log in. The Roku asks for my cable provider and provides an activation code; however, when I go to my computer to activate, all I get is the black screen with the Showtime Anytime logo in the center, and that's as far as it goes (it just sits there "dead" like that. Again, this was not the case in the past, but that's all I'm getting now.
Is this just me, or is something up with Charter and Showtime?

Re: Showtime Anytime
Showtime is planning to release an OTT service (similar to HBO Now) in a few months.
HBO Now streaming rival from Showtime to launch ‘in the coming months’
On an earnings call this afternoon, CBS CEO Les Moonves announced that the Showtime over-the-top service will launch in the coming months. The idea of a Showtime streaming service was floated shortly after HBO revealed its own offering — HBO Now — but no details were revealed at the time.
The last we heard, Showtime’s OTT service had a loose release date of the “not-too-distant future.” Here’s what Moonves had to say on the earnings call today, according to CBS Communcations VP Dana McClintock:
So we still don’t have a release date, but it’s beginning to sound like Showtime will be ready to roll out an a la carte option of its own before the end of the year.

No Dish, and no Roku or PS3. I'm out I guess.

If it's available for Roku, Chromecast, or PS3, I might have to subscribe for Twin Peaks when the time comes.

Standalone service goes live today. Deadline's article is wrong. It's an additional $8.99 per month as an add on if you subscribe to Hulu.

The price varies a bit depending on what platform you use to subscribe. It costs $10.99 a month on Apple, and Sony PlayStation Vue. But those who pay $8.99 for Hulu’s premium service can add Showtime for an additional $7.99.
In addition to Showtime’s live stream of the east and west coast feeds, online subscribers can access on demand every season of the channel’s original series, and additional programming including movies, documentaries and sports.

Re: Showtime Anytime
This now shows up as an add-on option for both Roku and Hulu+ as of today. Although the Hulu+ option shows up as $8.99 for me instead of the $7.99 previously mentioned.

Re: Showtime Anytime
That Hulu+ add-on for Showtime might make it worthwhile to finally subscribe to Hulu+, with Showtime as a add-on, rather than just Showtime Anytime. Would Hulu+ be showing commercials on the Showtime content? Does Showtime Anytime?

Re: Showtime Anytime
The Showtime content is commercial free on Hulu. The website says it.

Re: Showtime Anytime
You get one mini-commercial at the start of each episode of another Showtime show. About 15 seconds it feels like.

FOX is in a streaming dispute with Showtime about Homeland. They object to Showtime using the show in their streaming services and the new Hulu VOD add on.
It's really all about money. FOX wants to sell the show to other places like Netflix, but can't when Showtime is streaming it exclusively.
According to observers, one possible resolution, likely pursued by 20th TV, would be some sort of renegotiation of the terms of the original deal, which was signed when the SVOD business was in its infancy and traditional networks launching stand-alone streaming services was hardly on anyone’s radar.

Showtime Anytime-A Big Joke?
I have two computers and there is no such website as ShowtimeAnytime/activate ? Is this a big scam? There is no place too enter activation code at their Showtime Anytime website. They say I need too register as the primary account holder. WTF ???
I have Showtime thru Charter and I should have access to it.
