    Hi ericrox1982,

    Greetings from the Roku Community!
    We're glad to assist you with your inquiry. Please be advised that The Roku Channel app that is being shown on other non-Roku devices, such as Google Chromecast, lets you watch an ever-changing selection of original series, hit movies, TV shows, 24/7 live news (in the U.S. and Canada only), and popular kids' entertainment—all totally free, where you can choose from thousands of entertainment options on-demand with no subscriptions, purchases, or rentals required. On the other hand, The Roku Channel: AMC+ is a new premium streaming bundle that includes AMC's popular and award-winning programming plus full access to the streaming collections bundle showing AMC+ contents and is offered as a bundle through Roku. Since you mentioned that you are subscribed to AMC+ under the Roku Channel, which is a paid subscription bundle, please note that this is different from the free standalone The Roku Channel app.

    We hope this helps.

    Kind regards,

    Eunice
