Showtime and Showtime Anytime Available for webOS TVs

[Alex]

Showtime is now available on LG’s WebOS-powered smart TV platform.  A stand-alone subscription costs $11 per month, and grants access to the live feed of both Showtime’s East and West Coast feeds, as well as on-demand content. This lets viewers watch Showtime original series like Billions, Homeland, The Chi, Ray Donovan, Shameless, Twin Peaks, and more, as well as the upcoming limited series Patrick Melrose, all without having to plug any external devices into their TV. LG says this makes Showtime the first network to launch on its smart TVs.

Thanks for letting us know, this is good news indeed. Hopefully other Premium Channel providers will follow suit!

I couldn't figure out how to get closed captions. Is that available on this app?

Has anyone been able to actually activate their Showtime Anytime subscription? I have one through Comcast and have successfully activated on multiple devices (iOS, FireTV, Xbox) but showtime's own app offers only 5 device types to choose from and LG or WebOS isn't one of them. Choosing any of the other options (FireTV, Apple TV, Roku, Samsung or Xbox) doesn't work.

It's a Showtime problem, but someone from LG should bring to their attention (nobody tested it, huh?!)
