Apple TV

[Hobbit]

I know Apple TV got a few mentions in the “what are you watching“ thread but a question or three for those of you watching it. My hbo subscription is due renewal, and isn’t expensive at €8.99 a month but do I try another supplier.

A question; I’ve just downloadEd the Apple app and seen there’s a fair bit of content. However, somethings have a price next to them. Once you’ve paid the monthly fee, €6.99, is everything free or do some programmes/films incur an extra charge? Also, it doesn’t seem clear to me whether some films are to rent, some to buy and some free to access.

Why oh why can’t it be simple like Netflix & Hbo?

All pointers/info very welcome… cheers.

When I had it,it was one off payment.
You can usually get a free trial.

I got a free six month trial.
I will be cancelling, not enough on there for my tastes to justify £6.99/month.
In 6 months I think I have watched just two films and 2 series.

In terms of what you pay for and what you do not I presume it is a bit like other networks the newly released stuff is extra until it says not Amazon and Sky make it very clear.

I just got a diary reminder to cancel my subscription

What a palava

I could not just go to my account and cancel.

Noooo

I had to download Itunes on to my PC, sign in all over again

Cancel via Itunes
Sign in again
and of course because I do not want Itunes on my PC I have then had to uninstall it.

Bizarre. I could cancel my 6 month trial just by logging in, then going to the subscription bit of Settings, then pressing cancel?

Do you have an Apple device e.g I phone ? Which is why it could have been easier.

No, I'm on an Android tablet. For that reason, I have to do everything through the AppleTV website - including watching stuff - don't know if that makes a difference.
