How to activate AMC on Roku, Firestick, Apple TV, Android TV: An easy step-by-step guide

AMC is a mainstream cable TV channel and an asset of AMC Networks. The channel's programming mostly consists of theatrically released films, with a small amount of original content. Although "AMC" initially stood for "American Movie Classics," the full name has been downplayed as a result of a significant change in the channel's programming. More than 94,000,000 households in the United States currently watch AMC. The station is accessible via satellite, IPTV, streaming media, and the majority of US cable service providers.


If you want to watch AMC on different streaming devices such as Roku, Apple TV, Firestick, etc. you will need to have a cable TV subscription or a subscription to online streaming platforms such as Sling TV, Hulu, Fubo TV, etc.


You can also refer the AMC’s on-demand streaming service called AMC+ which will allow you to watch the best content available on AMC, IFC, SundanceTV, IFC Films Unlimited, Shudder, and Sundance Now. Horror, sci-fi, true crime, and thrillers are available, as well as original, award-winning shows and hit movies.


But, the thing that you have to remember is that only TV providers and online video streaming services provide AMC+ and it cannot be directly subscribed to through AMC. 


The difference you need to know between AMC and AMC +


  • AMC also known as AMC premier allows you to view ad-free, on-demand AMC material using this service, which has been available for a while. Additionally, AMC Premiere offers exclusive material like extended episodes, bonus scenes, sneak peeks at upcoming AMC series, and uncut movie versions.


  • On the other hand, Shudder, Sundance Now, and IFC Films Unlimited are three additional AMC brands whose material is available to AMC+ subscribers along with programs from BBC America. 


  • How you subscribe is another significant distinction between AMC Premiere and AMC+. You can sign up for AMC Premiere straight through AMC. However, you won't be able to purchase AMC+ directly from AMC; instead, you must use other TV providers and streaming services.


  • AMC+ is currently your only choice if you want AMC on-demand entertainment via either Comcast Xfinity or YouTube TV. Your account should have been automatically upgraded to include AMC+ if you previously had a subscription to AMC Premiere through one of these streaming services.



How to activate AMC on different streaming devices


Now, as already mentioned, in order to watch AMC you will need to have a cable TV provider such as AT&T, Dish, DirecTV, etc. After that, all you would need to do is download the AMC app on your respective streaming device and then head straight to the official AMC website from your smartphone or laptop where you can select the sign-in option. Then you can either select or sign in with your TV provider. Once, you have done it, you will be led to the signup page of that particular provider. Enter your details and you should be done.
