What is Showtime Anytime, and how can I watch it?

Showtime Anytime provides access to a host of original series, sports, hit movies and live TV streams synonymous with the Showtime satellite and cable channel.

It’s available via its website, as an app on just about all of the popular viewing boxes, devices, and smart TVs, and from a selection of cable providers.

There are also Showtime live feeds on Showtime Anytime, airing the current East or West coast feeds.

Showtime is one of the biggest stand-out channels in the US. Rivalled, possibly, only by HBO for its vast body of work, there are so many great reasons to tune in.

Showtime has delivered massive TV hits such as Dexter, Ray Donovan, Shameless and Homeland. And who hasn’t loved settling in for a few episodes of Dead Like Me, Californication, Nurse Jackie or The Tudors?

If you’re looking for some of the best TV the USA has to offer, then look no further. Now all you need is a way to unblock their location restrictions.

How to watch Showtime Anytime from outside the USA

To prevent viewers from outside the USA from watching Showtime Anytime, the network uses geolocation-blocking technology to put the brakes on anyone accessing the channel from anywhere else.

The usual methods to get around geo-blocking are via Smart DNS or VPN. If you’re going to watch Showtime Anytime from outside the US, then you’re going to need a workaround just like one of those or something even better.

How to register for Showtime Anytime from outside the USA

To watch Showtime Anytime, you need to have a subscription with a cable or satellite provider that incorporates Showtime as part of their viewing bundle.

If you’re trying to view Showtime Anytime from outside the USA, then that’s pretty much a non-starter. The alternate option is to subscribe to one of the cable-cutting skinny-bundle packages that include Showtime but at a fraction of the cost.

You can buy access to Showtime as an add-on with Sling TV, AT&T TV Now, Fubo and a few more.

The other way to access the Showtime shows is to subscribe to the Showtime streaming service. It has all the same great viewing as Showtime Anytime, but you can subscribe directly to the channel.

Do you need a VPN or DNS to watch Showtime Anytime from outside the USA?

VPN and Smart DNS are pretty clever methods to find your way through the geo-blockades set up by the Showtime Anytime servers. The problem is, though, that the servers are getting smarter. More and more of the services providing VPN and DNS workarounds are being recognised by the new tech and being blacklisted.

For anyone looking into how to watch Showtime outside the US, the beauty of our system is that it uses a combination of different technologies to make sure it always finds a way in. It understands what the server needs, and provides it with just that.

VPN is a great tool for protecting your private data when you’re out and about, over shared networks or public WiFi. The extra layer of security it can provide is a superb use of some ingenious tech, but if you want to access a mass of international viewing from the comfort of your own home, well, there really is only one choice.

How to unblock Showtime Anytime

Once you’ve signed up for a StreamLocator subscription, you’ll receive our smart hub. Plug it into any open port of your WiFi router, follow a few simple steps to activate your account and you’ll find a newly available WiFi network—STREAMLOCATOR—listed in your options.

Click over to that, and you’re done! Our smart box will take care of the rest, leaving you to enjoy as many episodes of Dexter or The L Word as you like.

Does StreamLocator allow me to watch Showtime Anytime for free?

We’re afraid not. Our system is designed to find a way through the geo-location blockades that prevent you from watching their TV shows and movies. You’ll still have to pay for the service through one of the options we discussed earlier in this article.

If you want to watch a Showtime online free stream, you'll have to hold a subscription to a cable channel that includes Showtime. And then it's not really free at all.
