AMC+ subscription

I've signed up for amc+ through AMC and the app.  I'm trying to add the app to my TV, but Xfinity says I have to subscribe and pay $6.99/month.  Is there a way to bypass this, without having to use Chromecast or other mirroring trick?

I'm having the same issues, and this response is either automated or someone is not actually reading the question and just checked the "amc+ box." It would be nice to get an answer to this. Thank you!

Hello, @user_87c0f3!

Anyone who dawns the "I am an Official Xfinity Employee" signature and "XfinityName" usernames are real live employees. 

We apologize if we sometimes misunderstand a question, we are human after all, but isn't that the point? haha!

 

Either way, I'd be more than happy to elaborate on this issue for you. You can review the AMC+ FAQ on their site here: FAQ 

The important takeaway is the following:

HOW CAN I WATCH AMC+?

If you subscribe directly with AMC:
Use www.amcplus.com or the new AMC+ app available on iPhone, iPad, Android, Fire TV, Apple TV, and Roku.

 

If you are looking to view AMC+ content through Xfinity, you would need the subscription through Xfinity.

That's a terrible response... I subscribe directly to Hulu and I can watch on Xfinity... I also subscribe directly to Amazon Prime and Netflix, which I can also watch directly on Xfinity.  Why can we not watch AMC+ on Xfinity? And what about Starz?

Those are great questions. The reason is that the AMC+ is a subscription-based service through the provider or the app. We do not have a way to link the app to the Xfinity account unless it is subscribed first via the Xfinity service. As for Starz, the app is separate from the subscription to their channels. We can provide some content available from the app as on-demand, however, we are unable to provide the content from the app as it is not used to sign in to the Starz app. 

I no longer work for Comcast.

I also have this issue.I have an existing  AMC+ account that I paid for with the annual subscription. I guess they are going to ignore this issue and hope it goes away.

@user_6538f9 We can understand the frustrations when it comes to streaming service not able to link up. At this time, per agreement with AMC, the only way for our customers to watch AMC+ content on X1 is to subscribe through us for the monthly rate. There is not currently a way to link an existing AMC+ subscription otherwise. We know this is not the answer you were looking for as always things can change as technology evolves.

I have the same problem.  Xfinity is a piece of work if they can’t figure this out with all of the technology they have.  Terrible customer service.

For the record, this sucks. It's not surprising coming from Comcast, but it still sucks.

Chromecast has the AMC+ app now, so I'm able to watch on my TV, without having to go through Xfinity.

Yeah, you can't tell me that's a person.  I've been trying to do this too.  Netflix and AMC +  I can't get an answer.

The AMC+ page says to go back to Xfinity to cancel if you subscribed through the Xfinity service

@user_905165​ I had to cancel AMC+ with Xfinity and now use my Roku to watch it.  However, I am able to watch Netflix and Hulu with the Xfinity apps.

Hi @user_905165, In order to access AMC+ on our Xfinity devices, an active subscription through us would need to be active. If your account is directly through AMC+, you would need to cancel our subscription and sign up for service through the set-top box and have billing go through Xfinity. Doing so would add the monthly AMC+ service changes conveniently on your monthly Xfinity service bills. Please let us know if you need any assistance. We are always happy to help.

I just purchased AMC+ thru Xfinity, how do I access it on other devices?  I can get it on my TV that has the DVR connected to it, but how do I get it on my iPad or other TVs that I'm using the Xfinity Beta streaming app on?

Appreciate you reaching out! AMC+ has platforms for almost every major device. If you are on a mobile device you would just use your app store or Google Play store to access the app to download. On a traditional web browser you would access the interface via the primary login on the website.

This is so stupid Xfinity. I just signed up on AMC+ for a year through their app and realized I can't login to the App on Xfinity. What a waste of support; I have been with Xfinity for over 15 years

So... I just paid for AMC+ through Xfinity and downloaded the app onto my Roku. How do I log into that? Or can I only watch the Xfinity channel live?
