I just got my new Amazon Fire stick and when I tried to setup the Showtime anytime Xfinity or Comcast were niether of my choices as providers. Amazon's Message is that it's not available and I should ask my provider. So I am asking.... why can I not get my Showtime Anytime on my Amazon Fire Stick?
Reading through the Amazon support forum, Comcast does NOT support Showtime Anytime.

After reading Amazon's site about Fire Tv and Firestick, I would guess that Firestick is mostly for Amazon Prime users. I have yet to see any mention of any specific ISP that Firestick works with, only that it needs an internet connection to be able to stream Netflix, HuluPlus, Crackle, etc. It says that HBO Go is "Coming Soon" but does list Showtime Anytime. I can see this as something that could be considered "cord cutting" if you subscribe to Amazon Prime.

Apologies.
The availability of premium channels on Amazon Firestick (and some other third-party devices) are business and technology decisions with business terms that have not yet been agreed to between the parties.
Thanks for your patience as those conversations continue.

Unfortunately, we don't have an expected date for an announcement.
I do know that our programming teams meet regularly with Amazon and Showtime on this and other topics. The conversations are ongoing.
