I just purchased a black friday roku paramount plus and showtime subscription deal. How can I watch this subscription on my Google and Android tv's? I found out too late I could have purchased the same thing for the same price from Paramount Plus and not have this issue.
Yes, if you want to watch something on multiple platforms, then it's best to not sign up through a platform payment system since those lock you into that platform.
With some content companies, it is possible to kind of hack them into general use like:
Go to content website
Do a "forgot my password" and create a new password
Log on via other platforms using that new password
However, I suspect that it is possible that this may create problems and confusion later. For example, a platform payment system might need the password it created to keep the account current. ?? (I don't know.)
I did this with P+, but only after letting my Roku paid subscription fully expire so that Roku's payment system was no longer involved.
