Can I subscribe to TCM via an app on the ATV?
Only if you have TCM with another service like cable, DirecTV or YouTubeTV. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong about that.Can I subscribe to TCM via an app on the ATV?
Yep. They did that about a year ago. Took TCM out of basic packages and put it in a SPORTS package and automatically added it to a lot of people's bills. Grift of the most obvious kind.I asked because Xfinity put TCM into a package with unrelated channels, none of which I care for. That means I’m paying $10 extra for one channel. The other channels are NFL Redzone, CBS sports, CMT, maybe something else. They have nothing to do with TCM’s content. It was just another way of jacking up the price.
Yeah, this happened to @Scott Merryfield last year and he refused to pay that extra money for TCM too.I brought this up last October in the TCM thread.
“It looks like no one here was affected by Comcast’s I’ll advised choice to move TCM to a premium pay channel tier.
About 4 weeks ago they moved it to a new “sports and entertainment” package that they made up just for this move of TCM.
The cost is $10 a month so it essentially is now a premium channel just like HBO and Showtime.
The main purpose of this package was for people to pay for NFL RedZone channel.
Now it’s also extorting people who want TCM.”
TCM: Finally in Real HD?
YES is a regional sports network and I’m not sure why it would be carried outside of NY. I know you can subscribe to rsn on Dtv. Do other carriers do this? Because Yankee fans are everywhere. At many ballparks, you can hear more cheering for the visiting Yankees than the home team.When I was...www.hometheaterforum.com
I am seriously looking at dumping Xfinity for cable and moving to Youtube TV. It includes most of the channels my wife and I each watch, including TCM (or, I used to watch it before Comcast moved it to a higher tier which I refused to pay for). I will lose the NFL Network and NHL Network, and my wife will lose the Hallmark Channel. However, I would no longer be locked into a service contract, and could switch streaming providers whenever I desired. I figure I can get the NFL Network for a couple of months during the football season via Sling TV and then just cancel after the regular season is over.This is the kind of thing cable and satellite companies have been doing for years. The structure the package so you can get everything you want at one level, except for 1 or 2 channels and then you have to go up a level. For instance the Food Network and Cooking Channel are not in the same package. We have to go up a level to get both. In my house, that’s non-negotiable. She’s got to have both.
However, this crap with TCM is recent. At least put it in a package that makes sense, so that I get more for my money.

Eric. How do you do this?
I get hbo this way but the att tv app is no longer functional.
Are you able to use the TCM app with your YouTube TV account like we used to be able to with a Comcast account?I ditched Comcast cable TV in Dec in favor of YouTubeTV, largely for cost reasons, but also because of their moving of TCM to the higher tier. I've been happy with it. I will note that a few movies on TCM are "not available for streaming" - not very many, just some random titles show up that way. Not enough to be a problem for me. I also like YouTubeTV's cloud DVR feature that allows you to record/keep titles for 9 months.

Can you access the Watch TCM streaming service through AppleTV? I get it through Roku. It's far preferable to having to tune in at a certain time or record something,. There are about 200 movies available for streaming at a time.
