SkyShowtime 1.99 per month

TheDriver · 08-03-2023 11:27pm #1

SkyShowtime via Romania is currently 1.99 per month for life if you sign up by April.

You need a VPN to any of the European countries where it is available to watch. (Sky don't seem to abide by the EU watch like home rule)

I used Android tv APK on firesticks, works perfectly.

What's the library on it like? Am I right in thinking there's a mix of sky programs and paramount?

Can't seem to get the android tv apk to download on my firestick. Anything extra needed to get it going?

Thanks for starting new thread.

Which version of android TV app did you download to the Firestick?

I downloaded it, it’ll launch and show library but when I try play video the screen ratio is all over the place.

Confusing that Sky are calling this new service ShowTime when there is a different US TV network and streaming service also called ShowTime.

It's a joint venture between both for the European market

spuddy01 · 09-03-2023 9:14am

For this service you need to sign up on the website & not the app. Romania is the cheapest at €1.99 a month you can use PayPal to pay with revolut & no need for Romanian address. You can change the app language to English in the app just use Google lens to translate. The library does vary from country to country currently switching between Romania & Sweden.

Reply from Getflix about adding support for Skyshowtime app. Not good news :-(

bromley52 · 09-03-2023 10:04am

DNS4Me have it in their list for the Netherlands but I couldn't get it to work .

ECookie13 · 09-03-2023 10:30am

There's a couple of vpns that have Romanian servers but expect them to be super slow or crippled. Don't expect 1080p

Usually Netherlands vpn servers are quite fast so hopefully they have plenty of content that you would only need Romania vpn for the signup.

bromley52 · 09-03-2023 11:47am

Has anyone tried dns4me and the Sky Showtime (Netherlands) option?

TheDriver · 09-03-2023 12:12pm

I used surfshark and got perfect usability. The odd time I got a vpn detected message but I think i was moving around too much for the app.

TheDriver · 09-03-2023 12:13pm

Based on what I've seen on it, I don't think I'll go beyond a month or two to be honest. A lot of stuff is already on prime or netflix

bromley52 · 09-03-2023 10:08pm

Is anyone using this on a firestick and if so where did you get the app? The interface works but anything I play is magnified.

That happened with me. Restarted firesticks and it was fixed. Android tv app rather than android app

Cheers. I had to restart both the TV and Fire Stick.

newincity · 09-03-2023 11:57pm

Thanks, OP I was able to signup for this. Is there a way to change language in profile for website.

You change it in your profile, not the settings so it's confusing. I did on a desktop computer. When you login your profiles come up, If you hover the mouse over your profile avatar there's an edit button. In your profile settings, language is the third option down. Once you choose your new language and save it, any time you choose that profile on your other devices, your selected language will be used.

sgthighway · 12-03-2023 11:50am

I signed up and was watching it last night via ExpressVPN and it eventually stopped with a message saying I was not allowed watch via vpn. With that and the hassle installing the app I think I will give it a miss. I am happy to have Netflix, Disney and Prime. 2 euro a month is great though.

bromley52 · 12-03-2023 3:36pm

It works with dns4me. Netherlands only though.

dns4me also allows you to set different regions for Disney+ and HBO Max amongst others.

newincity · 12-03-2023 11:44pm

Is there a native app for fire tv stick?

TheDriver · 16-03-2023 8:43pm

How are people finding this? Not sure I'll be keeping it going tbh

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120367500#Comment_120367500

I'll hold onto it for a while to see if content improves. €2/month won't break me.

Andy111111 · 31-03-2023 7:06pm

If you have a firestick you won't need vpn! I have skyshowtime and I'm living in Ireland, I like it because it has a lot of content in 1,

I got it on a this site z2u,

It works perfectly, I get all my subscriptions from there as netflix,prime, paramount etc.. keep putting the price up!

I paid €6 for the year and you get shared user name and password, I've never had a problem but if you can get it else where do,

hope this helps 👍

TheDriver · 31-03-2023 8:57pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120424942#Comment_120424942

That's a change, few weeks ago it gave the usual region errors.

Do you get the annoying size issue?

Andy111111 · 31-03-2023 10:44pm

No I went on to downloader to download the app, I've no issues with it, I sent up my own profile and it works fine, I got prime, netflix, disney, paramount, skyshowtime for the year on z2u, it only cost me around €20 for the lot and I've put them on several firesticks around the house, worth looking into because the cost of these apps are crazy, I don't have vpn or anything just pick the Europe 1's and it should work,

TheDriver · 31-03-2023 11:16pm

The only issue with buying a share in passwords is that access can disappear without warning, seems to be commonplace over on Ali. Sharing arrangements on here seem to be reputable.

I had cancelled but might keep it going seeing as vpn now not required.

delerium1 · 31-03-2023 11:18pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120425769#Comment_120425769

where is it on z2u site?

Andy111111 · 01-04-2023 6:53pm

Go on to z2u site,

In search bar type skyshowtime,

Browse down till you find skyshowtime and not showtime as there 2 different apps,

After a couple of hours they will have a shared account for you with username and password,

I've never had an issue with it

Do you give a dodgy website your credit card details?

TheDriver · 01-04-2023 8:17pm

I updated my firesticks to newest Android tv skyshowtime app and no issues with zoom etc.

For 1.99, it's ok when no vpn required. Good selection.

Sorry, no link. I went on downloader on FS and searched skyshowtime APK Android. Answer came up quickly.

Ah ok cheers. I'm on version 1.9.18 but it is still magnified at the highest resolution. At a lower resolution it is ok.

You'd be safe enough using a disposable revolut card I think. I'm tempted to try a peacock sub as I've found it impossible to sub to it.

I'm definitely having trouble with and without a VPN. constantly getting a screen with Marlon Brando and nothing else happening!

bromley52 · 05-04-2023 1:48am

It works with dns4me.

PURE but I used to get the VPN requirement when I first signed up. It was only when the user said no VPN required that I then tried it and no issue.

I'm getting the same screen with Arden broadband. Using Geflix so switched that off and still get the same with standard DNS settings.

TheDriver · 05-04-2023 3:50pm

I used to get that screen when I logged in during the VPN days (without VPn on).

I wonder is your IP showing up as UK?

bromley52 · 05-04-2023 5:26pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120444286#Comment_120444286

Well Im with Virgin so I don't think so. I tried tethering to my phone as well.

Anyway it doesn't really matter as I'm using dns4me which allows Irish Disney+ to stream rather than the US.

Romanian, so I was expecting it to work with the passporting rules.

I'm the same

feargantae · 06-04-2023 7:32pm

Btw there's a week trial on the Dutch one, probably other countries too. A handy way to get a feel for the content.

TheDriver · 06-04-2023 7:55pm

Watch out for end to the half price for life on Romanian sub,it's not worth 4 quid a month

SkyShowtime 1.99 per month
